I have to say I'm genuinely really f****** surprised to me that he is failing to at united like he really genuinely is the manager where I thought they would turn it around his Ajax was so f****** good. But I do genuinely think the failures also partially down to him I mean quotes like that just absolutely won't help but I'm sure there's also just a really toxic psychological structure in a lot of these Manchester United players. Curse words are blurred because I'm using speech to text

We can tell.
Man realises it after transferring almost entire ex-Ajax squad here
Ronaldo is the problem
Oh 😃
Ten Hag is a really poor man's Guardiola, he was able to hit the ground running at his first big job because the club had an identity, he was familiar with it and he had the right type of players to start implementing his brand of football. The difference is that when Guardiola went to City he actually had a good club structure, a vision of what he wanted to do and the talent to make adjustments to evolve his style accordingly. Ten Hag came into a mess and does not seem to have the talent to implement a cohesive idea from scratch into a club and without the proper structure there is no one to help him do it either.
So what is his solution? He’s hired to be the coach with a rebuild plan yet he seems he has no ideas, no style, no motivation. Is he asking to be sacked?
Come back man, we will take you back with open arms
It's so joever
Small brain here - why is this even a discussion? Ten Hag has a collection of some of the best footballers in the world. They are skilled and athletic. He was hired for his style of football and success at Ajax. He should make them adapt to his play style, or they sit the bench. Simple as that.
This is eerily starting to resemble quotes from previous Man Utd managers when things started to turn sour. In all honesty, I don't see Ten Hag making it to next season, especially with how poor Utd perform against top teams in the PL and in Europe. The injury crisis hasn't helped, but overall the team looks worse this season than the prior one.
narrator: "they play the football they played at Ajax there"
Looks like he’s trying to play like the Ajax of this season. Bald move.
Oh joy, we've reached the part of the cycle where the depressing quotes start, with the manager lowering already rock bottom expectations...
Are the depressing quotes better or worse than the deluded quotes?

Did you read the article? It’s far from a depressing quote, only if you just read the title.
We just need a strengthening in ((insert position)), ((insert player name)) is just not cutting it.
"the culture, is actually damn good" level of denial quotes.
United downfall is changing philosophy
hire a manager who plays counter attack or 4-4-2 and you will instant progress

Nothing depressing about this. All he's saying is that Ajax have a particular brand of football and he adapted to it. United have never played that style and don't have the players for it, so it doesn't make sense to try to do the exact same thing he did before.
Yeah, the problem is that is the job he was brought in to do and they are just now figuring that out. Now what? Let him go and hire a manager that plays United style? Who would that be?

It’s unusual for a manager not to have a style of play they’d try to implement wherever they manage. Most managers you know what type of football you’d be getting but Ten Hag just seems to be making it up as he goes along.
That isn't unusual at all lol. Every manager that doesn't have a state supporting him does that. He explains why in the article. Pressing high and building up from the back requires a certain type of players and those are either out injured or don't have the legs anymore to do that in the PL. You have to use players to their strenghts. If he would have played a high line/ high press system and Maguire and Evans would have been caught out everyone would have blamed him for not playing a low block.
That isn't unusual at all lol. Every manager that doesn't have a state supporting him does that.
What a load of bollocks.
So Ten Hag supposedly has no style of play to bring to united because they aren't funded by a state? What about all the work being done by the other managers in the league and around Europe? What about the fact that they carry on sounding hundreds of millions every summer predominantly on a mixture of overrated shite and over the hill sick notes?
The guy's got so much at his disposal.
Ten Hag's biggest problem so far is his recruitment. They did not try hard for Frenkie when we had financial issues(he wanted to stay but the club wanted him out) and bought Mount for 60-70 million. Frenkie, Bruno and Casemiro would have worked for sure.
Even pushing out De Gea was bad transfer. Could def haggle decent wage for 1-2 years and invested that 40-50mil into onfield player that was much bigger issue than the golden glove winner.

This is on Ten Hag for picking a terrible job to begin with. He's someone who can't be the face of a club necessarily, at Ajax he had an incredible structure with Overmars leading it, and he just had to stick to coaching for the most part. I am aware of his work at Utrecht where he focused a lot more on squad building, but Utrecht vs United are very different situations.
