Manchester United should still terminate Ten Hag despite draw with Liverpool due to clear issues.
Erik ten Hag expressed optimism about the future of Manchester United, following their 2-2 draw with Liverpool. The team’s performance, however, was overshadowed by statistics indicating that they could have potentially lost the match by a substantial margin. Despite the draw being a credible result on its own, concerns were raised about United’s overall performance and their ability to compete at the top level. The match against Liverpool highlighted a long-term trend of underperformance by United, prompting doubts about Ten Hag’s ability to lead the team.
With a decline in points compared to the previous season and defensive vulnerabilities, there have been calls for a change in management. The team’s reliance on goalkeeper Andre Onana further emphasized their defensive shortcomings. The possibility of a turnaround in the remaining league games and success in the FA Cup was suggested as a potential lifeline for Ten Hag, but doubts remained about the team’s consistency. The overall conclusion was that, based on recent evidence, Ten Hag may not be the right manager for United in the upcoming season.
