FAJAR.CO.ID, MANCHESTER—Manchester United is in difficult times. They have suffered nine defeats in all competitions this season.
Those at the top of the Old Trafford hierarchy are not believed to be actively seeking a replacement for Erik Ten Hag, but things must change soon.
United’s record of nine defeats from 17 matches is indeed very bad. It was even the worst start to a season they had experienced since the 1973-1974 season.
At that time, they were led by Tommy Docherty. That season was the last time the Red Devils were relegated.
Currently, MU’s star players are reportedly starting to question Erik ten Hag’s methods after the defeat in the Champions League. Especially when he decided to substitute Raphael Varane after also missing the match against Fulham.
Despite many dissenting voices, MU striker Rasmus Hojlund, who scored two goals against his former team Copenhagen, emphasized that they still support the coach.
“Everyone in the dressing room supported him [Ten Hag]so I think it’s just a matter of time before everything goes our way,” he was quoted as saying by The Mirror. (amr)
