It seems that in recent years, Manchester United‘s form is always two steps forward, three steps back. And that‘s was the case with Ralf Ranginck and this is the case with Erik ten Hag for the third season in a row, with one difference: United is playing much worse than two seasons ago. In his last year of contract, Ten Hag‘s men are playing worst football even thou the management backed up the Dutch tactician every June with more and more money for new players. So why they lost so heavily and easily at home against Spurs? Apart from the dodgy red card given to Bruno Fernandes, the overall play was terrible, as even hard-core United fans had to agree that Tottenham could have easily scored more goals.One Ange is absolute boss for Ten Hag! Spurs destroy United at Old TraffordFormer Spurs player Jamie Redknapp not only acknowledged that after the match, but delivered a gloomy prediction: not a single manager survived in the dugout with performances like this. He was also amazed that the club of this stature can allow themselves to play like this.“I’ve watched a lot of performances when managers suddenly lose their jobs and that’s the sort of performance that gets the manager the sack. When your club are actively looking for another manager, you’re in a massively untenable position because the players know that you’re not the man. You cannot keep the manager after looking for other managers. They’re playing like they’re lost. The players that they’ve brought in don’t look right. This club has a DNA of attacking. I see too many players not putting that extra effort in. This club is not built like that. I don’t see how he can keep his job with these performances. I don’t know how he can turn it around. I know he won two trophies last year but I don’t know how he can take them forward, but I don’t know who is. They’ve scored five goals in six games, Man United. This is a graveyard for great players. Anyone that comes here just goes downhill. Everyone is so devoid of confidence and belief. It gets to a point where you feel almost sorry for the manager, he looks out of his depth. It was so easy for Tottenham. It feels to me now, 616 million pounds spent, United are going backwards. They are rock bottom right now. It’s embarrassing. A club of this stature shouldn’t be producing performances like that. They don’t want it enough“ said Redknapp to Sky Sport.”Absolutely disgusting display” – Man Utd legend slams abysmal Red DevilsAs a former Red Devil, Gary Neville always tries to be as soft as possible, but even he couldn‘t hide that fact that the football itself was dreadfull.“It’s not as bad as I initially thought but it sums up United in the first half who have been an absolute disgrace. Probably one of the worst halves I’ve seen under Ten Hag and that’s saying something. Ten Hag can’t believe what he’s watching. I can’t believe what I’m watching, it’s awful. It really is bad. I’m not even talking about scoring goals, I’m talking about the basics. They look shot to pieces, the lot of them. I suspect there were better Sunday league teams this morning that what we’ve seen from United this first half.
