Oh really? Ten Hag admitted that Manchester United management is unhappy with the results
Manchester United has endured an extremely unstable start to the season, statistically marking their worst campaign kickoff since 1989. While fans call for the dismissal of head coach Erik ten Hag, the Dutch manager has acknowledged that the club's hierarchy is indeed displeased with the results, but remains composed.
Details: During the pre-match press conference ahead of today's clash with Brentford, Ten Hag stated that everyone within the club is unhappy with the current situation. However, he emphasized that despite the frustration, there is a sense of calm as the club sticks to its strategy.
The United boss also addressed questions regarding fan support, assuring that the fans understand the team's challenges and remain in solidarity with the club.
Quote: "We are calm, but we are not satisfied. No one - neither the players, nor the staff, nor the board - is happy. But we are focused on our plan, and we know what we’re working towards. We remain confident in our strategy, and we are moving closer to where we want to be, doing what we aim to achieve this season," Ten Hag explained about the current atmosphere within the team.
"We are all in the same boat. If there is a strong connection among us, they [the fans] recognize the challenges we face at the beginning of this season, and they know that if we stay united, we will repay their trust in the end. This is what we've been doing for the past two years. I am convinced it will continue," added the Dutchman in response to a question about fan support.
Reminder: After seven rounds in the Premier League, Manchester United finds itself in 14th place. Today, the Red Devils will take on Brentford, and should they lose, coupled with victories by Everton and Ipswich in parallel matches, United could drop to 16th place.
The team is also struggling in the Europa League, where their first two matches against Twente and Porto ended in draws. Currently, Manchester United sits 21st in the standings of Europe's second-tier club competition.
