Global sports media The Athletic reported on the 30th (Korea time) 'Ten Haq said he needed more time after losing the match against Tottenham'
Manchester United suffered a 0-3 defeat in the sixth round of the English Premier League (EPL) match against Tottenham in the 2024-2025 season at Old Trafford in Manchester, England on the 30th. Manchester United's defeat has plunged to 12th place and will face a shocking result of losing two of their three league games at home this season.
Manchester United, which lost a point to Tottenham striker Brennan Johnson in the third minute of the first half, even had Bruno Fernandes sent off for a threatening tackle at the end of the first half. In the second half, Manchester United, which dedicated the goal in two minutes, collapsed by allowing Dominic Solanke to score a net goal midway through the second half.
After the game, criticism poured out against coach Ten Hach. Criticism was strong because it was a helpless defeat that even fans who had defended Ten Hach could not understand.

The Athletic said 'Ten Hach still needs more time to bring the team together. "I started the new season again as Manchester United manager, and now I'm put to the test.
Ten Hach said "We've made all the decisions together, and we know it's going to take time. How the transfer market went, there are players who joined late like Ugarte, and we need to integrate it and build our organization. There are also some injured. We're all in the same boat, and we need time before we all come together."
However, it is difficult to understand Ten Hag's argument easily. Ten Hach is a manager who has already entered the third year of Manchester United's appointment. If you've been on the team for three years as a coach, you have to show your tactical vision and solid performance even if there are brief ups and downs. However, Ten Hag has been sluggish in the league since taking over from Manchester United, and although he won two trophies, it was difficult to persuade fans with his performance.
Also, Ten Hach's words are more frustrating for Manchester United's leadership. Since taking the helm of Ten Hach, Manchester United has invested heavily without sparing money in recruiting. As many as 13 players have joined since Ten Hach's appointment, and the total amount of transfer fees spent on recruiting is 659 million euros (about 970 billion won). Even with such investments, it is not easy for the club to continue to watch the coach who leads the team for three seasons and insists that time is needed.

Ten Hach was ranked first with the highest dividend rate, followed by Wolverhampton manager and Hwang Hee-chan's teacher Gary O'Neill and Everton manager Sean Dyche. Ten Hag was evaluated as more likely to be replaced than coaches in the relegation zone.
Meanwhile, Manchester United's leadership will reportedly maintain the Ten Hag system for the time being despite Ten Hag's remarks and Manchester United's lethargic performance. European football transfer market expert Fabrizio Romano said 'Manchester United don't seem to be thinking yet about replacing Ten Hag.
However, it seems certain that the following two games will be a watershed. Romano added 'What is certain is that the next match, against Porto and Aston Villa, will be an important match for Ten Hag's futureHe added that the Manchester United leadership's position on Ten Hag could also change depending on the performance of the two games.
If he fails to rebound even when he needs to prove his performance, his time at Manchester United may be over completely. Time is not on Ten Hag's side.
