This CCTV video shows that Erik Ten Hag has no knowledge whatsoever about coaching. This demonstrates that people have already grown tired of him. Rasmus Hojlund’s reaction to Kobbie Mainoo being substituted against Burnley tells volumes about how Erik Ten Hag is killing the players. “They are now asking for a new coach after Burnley made an embarrassing decision,” Hojlund said.
During the 1-1 draw at Old Trafford, Mainoo and Hojlund were substituted in the 65th minute for Scott McTominay and Amad Diallo, which was met with boos from some of United’s home crowd, indicating a desire for them to stay on the field.
Hojlund faced a tough match, receiving more passes from goalkeeper Andre Onana than any other outfield United player. Despite this, when Antony scored their first goal of the season in the 79th minute, Hojlund seemed to anticipate a United victory. However, Burnley leveled the score in the 87th minute through Zeki Amdouni, after Onana fouled the Swiss international, resulting in a penalty kick.
The discontent felt around Old Trafford earlier was mirrored in the fans’ frustration at Ten Hag’s substitutions. One observer noted Hojlund’s surprise upon learning of Mainoo’s substitution, indicating that the United star was taken aback by the intensity of the boos or the choice of Mainoo as the player to be substituted.
After the game, Ten Hag defended his team’s performance and highlighted their positive style of play but admitted his frustration at United’s recurring failure to maintain a lead this season. He emphasized the team’s dynamism and entertaining football, expressing disappointment at relinquishing control of the game. Ten Hag’s frustration was evident as he reflected on the missed opportunity to secure three points, showcasing United’s ongoing struggle to close out games, much to the disappointment of both the manager and the fans.
