If everyone has given up on Erik ten Hag, the Dutchman isn’t ready to give up on himself.
Under mounting scrutiny, Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag has urged fans and critics alike to hold off on passing judgment until the season’s end.
After a rollercoaster 3-3 Europa League draw against FC Porto, where United surrendered a two-goal lead before Harry Maguire’s late equalizer saved a point, Ten Hag was quizzed about his future. His response? Patience.
“Don’t judge us at this moment. Judge us at the end of the season,” the Dutchman insisted, reminding everyone that United is “in a process” of development.
With inconsistent form this season and growing frustrations from supporters, Ten Hag’s plea signals confidence that better days are ahead—but will fans wait that long? As the pressure mounts, many wonder if this process is too little, too late to salvage United’s campaign.
Now, attention turns to their premier league cracker against Unai Emery’s side Aston Villa who currently are on a good run of form with a 1-0 win over Bayern Munich in the Champions League in mid-week.
