The where the cause of our Problem at Manchester United and the fans blamed me for that.
Even though Man United defeated Brighton 2-0 on Sunday to close the season, Erik ten Hag’s team has had a really poor year overall.
Despite winning, United’s position in the table dropped to ninth, their lowest ever in the Premier League.
If United defeats Manchester City in the FA Cup final on Saturday, they will have a chance to compete in Europe the following season.
Under Ten Hag, United made significant strides the previous season, but they have regressed this year.
This season, the Dutch coach and several of his players have faced harsh criticism from supporters, past players, and commentators. Among them is goalkeeper Andre Onana, who joined from Inter Milan for £47.2 million last summer and has had a mixed season.
During a recent interview on Sky Bet’s The Overlap, Onana said that he ignores criticism from previous players directed at him and his colleagues, but he expressed concern about the impact it has on the next generation of players.
That’s why the 28-year-old would rather take criticism on himself and the other senior players in the club.
“I don’t give it any thought. We are not the greatest right now; we are still building,” Onana stated. “I have come into this squad to take bullets.”
“We have to be honest and acknowledge that there are other teams performing better than us. Avoid going for the newest player when things aren’t going well; Harry [Maguire], Casemiro, and Bruno [Fernandes] are here to handle it, and we’re accustomed to it.
Sometimes it’s strange because we are in the same boat as the ones who won everything and were seated where I am.
“We make an effort to emulate your actions. Although it might not bother me, it might have an impact on others. To be honest, I just view it as a component of the game.”
