Erik ten Hag and his players were booed off the pitch by the furious Old Trafford crowd. After the game, the ex-Ajax manager tried to put a positive spin on his side’s lack of control.
“We are one of the most dynamic and entertaining teams in the league at this moment,” Ten Hag told BBC Match of the Day. “We are creating loads of chances by playing good football.
Every team gives up opportunities. But when it is up to us, it is weird.”
Considering the reaction his comments have had on social media, United fans are not convinced. Responses ranged from disbelief to sympathy for the supporters.
Some laughed at his comments, while others acknowledged the entertainment value of the team but from the perspective of opposition and neutral fans. The fans expressed frustration over player injuries and the impact on the team’s performance, with one supporter referencing Rasmus Hojlund and Kobbie Mainoo’s injuries.
This has led to a divide in opinions regarding Ten Hag’s remarks. The dissonance between the manager’s positive outlook and the fans’ frustration highlights the existing tension within the club.
