“The Players Disappointed Me” – Erik Ten Hag Expresses Frustration with Manchester United Players Following European Football Setback
Despite Manchester United’s 4-0 loss to Crystal Palace on Monday evening, Erik ten Hag defended his tactical approach against the Eagles.
The performance was a complete letdown, arguably the worst of the season, and it appears that Ten Hag’s tenure is now in jeopardy.
Despite the heavy defeat at Selhurst Park, United’s manager stood by his tactics, stating, “The players disappointed me.”
Erik Ten Hag’s team currently occupies eighth place in the Premier League and faces an uphill battle to secure victory in the FA Cup final against Manchester City.
Meanwhile, Erik ten Hag drew the ire of Manchester United fans with his behavior after the defeat to Crystal Palace.
Following the dismal performance, the United players approached the traveling fans to acknowledge their support, but Ten Hag was reportedly absent, opting to head straight to the tunnel without apologizing to the fans for the poor showing.
Manchester United fans were also unhappy with Ten Hag’s decision not to start 21-year-old forward Amad Diallo in the ongoing Premier League match against Crystal Palace.
With Newcastle United and Chelsea gaining momentum and climbing above them in the league table, the Red Devils’ season has taken a downward turn.
