Manchester United's board of directors is determined not to make an impulsive decision over coach Erik ten Hach's future.
Sky Sports said on the 7th (Korea time) "Manchester United will not panic and will carefully consider how to move forward with the club's future direction at tomorrow's meeting of key figures." Coach Ten Hag is calm about his position, he reported.
For the past 35 years, United have had their worst start ever. He only accumulated eight points in seven league games. Starting 14th in the league. Considering the support Ten Hag has received over the past two years, he is already worried about advancing to the European competition next season, as even if he competes for the championship, it will not be enough.
This summer, Manchester United also invested about 215 million euros (about 317.4 billion won) to support Ten Hag. He signed Joshua Zirkji due to lack of attack, and he also brought Lenny Yoro, Matthijs de Ligt and Nusair Mazraoui to strengthen his defense. Finally, even Manuel Ugarte was recruited. Net expenditure alone exceeds 110 million euros (about 162.3 billion won).
Over the past two seasons, it has been invested in a net expenditure of approximately 370 million euros (about 546.2 billion won). In other words, more than 700 billion won has been invested for Ten Hag. There were also achievements of winning the Carabao Cup and the English FA Cup, but Manchester United's game is increasingly frustrating to the point where it is hard to open your eyes.
There is nothing satisfying about either. He has scored only five goals in seven games, showing the lowest scoring ability in the league. In the meantime, he allowed eight runs. The defense is in the upper and middle ranks. The UEFA Europa League is also struggling to win both games.
As the slump continues, Manchester United leaders will meet. The center of Manchester United's leadership will participate in this meeting. New Manchester United co-owner Jim Ratcliffe, existing owner Joel Glazer, sports director Dave Brailsford, Dan Ashworth, technical director Jason Wilcox and Manchester United CEO Omar Verada will also gather.
Since all the leaders of Manchester United are in attendance, it seemed that they would discuss whether to replace Ten Hag, but their subject was on a different level. Sky Sports reported "This meeting is not because of United's performance, which has been drawn in five matches across all tournaments"
The point they will discuss was how much the player's problems affect their performance and results. The discussion also included team-wide issues such as lack of pressure on the ball, too easy to deal with, and quick runs after scoring, but a more important topic of discussion will be whether the players' reactions to giving up the lead or losing points are due to psychological factors rather than tactics.
In other words, rather than the team's problems created by coach Ten Hach, we will try to find out whether the team's problems are emerging due to the lack of individual players' capabilities.
There is plenty of room for this to be interpreted as trying to keep coach Ten Hag in office as much as possible rather than kicking him out. If we come to the conclusion that the players' problems have adversely affected the entire team, coach Ten Hag is likely to remain in place. In addition, because player competence has become a problem, astronomical investments are likely to be made in future transfer markets such as the winter transfer market and for coach Ten Hag. It's like pouring water into a bottomless jar.
The reason why head coach Ten Hach said he is receiving support from the leadership despite the continued crisis seems to be in the same context. Coach Ten Hag has said he is not under any pressure from the leadership yet. If he decides to keep coach Ten Hach, who has already lost the trust of the fans, the anger of the fans will be even greater.
There are other stories, too. There is already a lot of news that the leadership of Manchester United is moving to find a replacement for Coach Ten Hag. The Manchester Evening News reported on the same day that "Manchester United chose former Bayern coach Thomas Tuchel as a potential replacement for Ten Hag. Tuchel was mentioned as a replacement for Ten Hag last summer as well. remain unemployed after leaving Bayern"It was reported.
Another media outlet, British talk sport, along with Tuchel, also mentioned Brentford coach Thomas Frank as a possible replacement. All eyes are on the outcome of the Manchester United leaders' meeting tomorrow.
