Why? United is the biggest challenge in the world right now.

Imagine being the manager who takes this huge club back to glory? Its a tempting propersition for any manager.

His reputation has taken a massive hit since being at United

[–] chicken6@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Not really. He smashed it in the first season and there are some struggles now due to a myriad of factors - massive hit is hyperbolic. Need I remind you Arteta almost got the sack?

[–] JiveTurkey688@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Has it? He was widely praised for his work last season. This season is young and we have been hit with more injuries than any other club (bar Chelsea) + other shit on top of it.

His support for Greenwood has definitely taken him down in my eyes.

Who you'd replace him with is irrelevant. They didn't say he was getting sacked.

But unequivocally, his reputation has taken a hit based on what he has done at United compared to Ajax.

I think it's taken more of a hit because of Ange at Spurs. We've heard lots of waiting for Ten Hag to get his style settled in before results tick over. The season is still young, and he did have a decent season last year, but that also involved alot of teams shitting the bed outside the top 4. This is far more of a test. And the fact that Ange got into Spurs and transformed their style almost instantly with only a few signings already says alot about his quality. If that continues and Spurs finish ahead of Man Utd this season, then you've seriously got to be asking questions about Ten Hag since he's spent an insane amount of money already.

I dont think so. He has done well, as a manager, in the permanent shitstorm that is United. He is rulling with an iron fist, and Sancho is the next one on the block. Fergie was like that too. As a man, the Greenwood situation has exposed him hard.

united feels sort of like chelsea, a quick sure fire way to torpedo ur managing career. the clubs are ran like shit, beyond what a coach can do.
