May marked 11 years since Manchester United last won the English championship. Fans want to believe in better times, but the start of the new season is another cold shower for them. Although the 20-time champions won against Fulham (1:0) in the opening game, they suffered deserved defeats in the next two games – against Brighton (1:2) and Liverpool (0:3). Because of this, Manchester United spent the international break in a shameful 14th place in the table.
This Hag got hit. “A complete idiot”
English media are beginning to report that Erik ten Hag's job is not at all secure and that if he does not improve Manchester's results and style of play, he will be fired. “The Guardian” reported on the actions of the club's management, who are closely monitoring the Dutchman.
He is under constant pressure from expectations. And it is no wonder. The astronomical sums spent on players, the huge trust – despite a dismal 8th place this season – and being kept in office only because they won the FA Cup – speak for themselves. Manchester United have won just five of their last 17 league matches.
Piers Morgan, among others, criticizes this Hague in harsh words. The journalist is the author of the famous interview with Cristiano Ronaldo, in which the Portuguese took a dig at the current Manchester coach and after which he left the club. This time, Morgan was a guest on talkSport and was asked why the player left Old Trafford.
“Because that Hag is a complete idiot! I'm sorry, but that's him. He's been like that since he got here, hasn't he? He's talking complete gibberish. Now he's talking about Harry Potter or something. 'That Hag' is all Ronaldo told me in an interview, he's the one who got him out of United,” he blurted out.
“The biggest problem with this Haga is that he acts like a stubborn little teacher who doesn't know how to deal with a talented person,” Morgan complained.
Manchester United will play their next Premier League match on September 14th when they face Jan Bednarek's Southampton, who are struggling at the bottom of the table.
