Manchester United's current results can only please the club's detractors. Against this backdrop, the pressure on head coach Erik ten Hag has intensified significantly. Despite the setbacks, the Dutchman continues to project confidence.
In a rather unusual statement, Ten Hag acknowledged that his team is "mad," but he believes that this madness serves as a source of motivation for the players on the pitch:
"We are mad, mad with ourselves... but from the madness we have to get motivation. Everyone has to take responsibility, and that starts with me as the manager. But on the pitch we have leadership skills, and they have to stand up," Ten Hag said, as quoted by Fabrizio Romano.
It’s worth noting that earlier, the Dutchman sharply responded to criticism, stating that he knows how to win trophies.
