Erik ten Hag is not backing down as Manchester United faces increasing pressure after a tough start to the season. The Dutch manager, who guided United to an FA Cup win last year, has found himself in the hot seat following a painful 3-0 loss at home to Liverpool. While the team recently bounced back with two consecutive victories, the upcoming match against Crystal Palace looms large.
Erik Ten Hag’s determination to bounce back
In an interview with Sky Sports, Ten Hag addressed worries about his future at Old Trafford. With just six points from four games, fans and analysts are questioning if he’s the right fit for the job. But Ten Hag remains optimistic, saying, “I know there’s pressure when we’re losing. But I feel the support. We’re in this together.”
Despite the shaky beginning, Ten Hag reminded everyone that he’s faced tough situations before. He’s already won two trophies in his two years with United, including a remarkable FA Cup victory against Manchester City.
Ten Hag also acknowledged that being in charge of Manchester United means dealing with a lot of scrutiny. He pointed out, “Some people always want to see Manchester United fail,” suggesting there are those who are eager to see the club struggle. However, he’s unfazed by the negativity, insisting, “The only way to change this is for us as a team to turn things around.”
While the defeat to Liverpool was a hard pill to swallow, there have been signs of improvement, with impressive wins against Southampton and Barnsley. Yet, Ten Hag understands that it will take more than just a couple of strong performances to silence the critics. As he looks to the future, his focus is on “building a good team” and competing for more trophies.
For Manchester United fans, the path ahead may be rocky, but Ten Hag is confident that, with time and patience, the Red Devils can reclaim their former glory.
