Ten Hag thinks he is a strange injustice after class! Manchester United was criticized for wasting time, and Barcelona was reborn early

After the 54-year-old · ten Hag stepped down, he must have felt that he had been wronged for two years in charge of Manchester United. The manager, who paid £650 million for him, felt luck didn't favor him. "At this moment, luck is definitely not on our side." Teng Sheng lamented after the 2-1 defeat to West Ham. But more people have criticised Sir Jim · Ratcliffe and INEOS for not being decisive enough, and Ten Hag should have been sacked after winning the FA Cup.

That would be more costly for United, who would have to pay £6.5 million in compensation, compared to £15 million now. For Ten Hag, it is clearly more face-saving to walk away with the title. In this regard, it seems that Rajue is not as good as the Glazer family, who let Van Gaal lift the trophy and leave the class the day after he won the cup.

Taken in isolation, Ten Hag may have his point. West Ham captain Bowen's winning penalty came from a controversial decision and there was clearly something problematic with the decision of the referee and VAR video assistant referee. But even without that penalty, United got a point, is that a good result?

Ten Hag's further argument is completely untenable. "I've felt unfair three times this season." Ten Hag said. One of those times he said was a goal against Brentford in the previous round, when a bloodied De Ligt was asked to stop the bleeding and United conceded a goal, which Ten Hag and the coaching staff felt were unjust. And most people know that the real problem is the bandaging of the team doctor.

Another game in which Ten Hag felt wronged was the 3-0 defeat to Tottenham, with Bruno · Bruno Fernandes having their red cards cancelled later. He insisted he ignored the result of that game, and if that was the case, the United boss was clearly evading the problem, which was the worst game of the season for the Red Devils, and even if Fernandes stayed on the pitch, it would not change, and could even lose more.

The standings don't lie, especially with the Premier League and Europa League tables saying the same thing at the same time. Manchester United is only 14th in the league after 9 rounds, with 3 wins, 2 draws, 4 losses, 11 points, 8 goals scored and 11 goals conceded, and a goal difference of -3; In the Europa League, they are ranked 21st with 3 points from 3 rounds, scoring 5 goals and conceding 5 goals, with a goal difference of zero. The Premier League has already played a quarter of the way through the schedule, while the Europa League group stage has been played three-eighths, showing that the Red Devils have been underperforming in all competitions for a long time, and not just a matter of luck and form.

There are other data to back this up. Manchester United haven't won in Europe for a year, and have played poorly in the Champions League and Europa League across the season; In all competitions, Manchester United have won just one of their last eight matches. Ten Hag's side have scored the third fewest goals in the Premier League, leading the league for just 86 minutes this season.

During the last international break, there was a six- or seven-hour meeting with United's new management, and Ten Hag retained his position. He has often shown a strong confidence in his managerial prospects, but a poor start to the season is not an illusion as United are seven points behind Aston Villa and six behind Chelsea, and there is no hope of qualifying for next season's Champions League, but they will have to catch up. With United's current momentum, it seems more likely that Ten Hag will be able to slip back if they continue to manage. In the last two months, United have only had a week in the top half of the Premier League table.

Ten Hag will give some familiar reasons, such as injury. However, West Ham were missing their top scorer Kudus, who was suspended against Tottenham, but Lopetegui's chosen replacement, Crisensio · Somerville, scored straight into United's goal! In the Champions League in midweek, Barcelona suffered a lot of injuries at the back, still beating Bayern Munich 4-1.

"It's not me." Ten Hag said: "It's all about the team. However, it was his team that spent more than £600 million on people but did not bring about the legendary 'change'. Fans will remember that when Andre joined Onana · Manchester United, he was touted as a "revolutionary goalkeeper", saying that his skills at his feet could change the way Manchester United play. The result? There was a real change, Onana was transformed into a De Gea-style goalkeeper and had to make a number of saves.

De Ligt may have had little luck last week, first with an injury and then a controversial penalty awarded. However, his performances have also been inconsistent, with two games against Tottenham and Porto being a disaster, with his high post defensive selection and tackling crosses poorly. Ten Hag's other new signing, Ugarte, who came in the summer window, played poorly against Tottenham and defended well against Fenerbahce, but lost his starting place against West Ham. Manchester United were strong in the first half and were counter-attacked in the second half, in part because Casemiro and Eriksen were ageing and Ugarte was overwhelmed.

In attack, Ten Hag's signing of Zirkze provided another assist, but he has not scored in 12 games. The €62 million signing of Lenny · Yoro has yet to play, with only the cheapest Mazraoui worth the money, but his placement in the number 10 position by Ten Hag in the Europa League has also sparked controversy.

Seven of United's starting 11 at the London stadium were brought in by Ten Hag, however, the protagonists of the two seasons to save the Netherlands, from Harry Maguire and Scott McTominay last season to Eriksen this year, are all people Ten Hag did not want to stay, which is an indictment of other players.

United's young forward line looks like they have a long-term future, but let's not forget Anthony Martial and Marcus Rashford in the past. The Red Devils have scored a meagre number of goals, scoring just three goals in their last five Premier League games. The manager is not to blame for every mistake, such as Diogu· Dalo's empty goal, and Ten Hag cannot be blamed.

After the Netherlands dismissal, Manchester United's legendary captain Roy ·Keane said coldly on social media: "In a good team, the manager can make the players responsible; In a great team, the players themselves take responsibility."

However, if league goals have been low for a year or two, then the manager is to blame for not addressing the issue. Manchester United have created 26 big chances in the Premier League this season and squandered 22 of them. Of the managers after Fergus' retirement, Ten Hag's side had the most shots on goal but had the lowest conversion rate.

In West Ham's 2-1 win over Manchester United, Julen Lopetegui made three half-time substitutions to turn the tide of the first half. Ten Hag, on the other hand, did not respond to it, and poor on-the-spot adjustment was his usual problem.

Julen Lopetegui explained: "We were lucky to be 0-0 in the first half and I thought maybe we could change something different. We need to win more individual duels and we need to be more aggressive on the ball and that's why I made substitutions."

The reason United kept Ten Hag in the summer was that they felt there was no suitable manager in the market and felt that the new management structure could create better conditions for Ten Hag's success.

But Chelsea, Liverpool, Bayern Munich and Barcelona all changed the tide of the squad with new managers in the same summer when United felt that "no one fit" was available.

Two seasons ago, United beat Barcelona in the Europa League play-offs, but now Barcelona have avenged Bayern Munich 4-1 in the Champions League, beaten Real Madrid 4-0 in La Liga, and are top of the league table with 27 goal difference.

Manchester United, meanwhile, are still in the Europa League, but they can't even win at home to Twente. The time has come for the Red Devils to make a change, which may not lead to success, but it will surely die.
