Manchester United supporters have expressed their frustration and disappointment after manager Erik ten Hag declared that the club cannot vie for the Premier League title or even secure a second-place finish next season.
Despite leading the team to a third-placed finish last season and securing the Carabao Cup, this term has been marked by setbacks, including crashing out of the Champions League group stages and a lackluster performance in the league. Ten Hag's remarks, made ahead of United's clash with Burnley, have ignited backlash among fans, who view his admission as defeatist and unacceptable for a club of United's stature.
Reactions from fans on social media platforms like Twitter reflect a sense of disillusionment and concern about the team's future under Ten Hag's leadership. Many supporters criticized his comments, expressing disbelief that a manager of United would concede defeat before the start of the season.
Some called for his immediate dismissal, citing his lack of ambition and failure to inspire confidence in the team's prospects. Amid mounting pressure on Ten Hag, United faces a pivotal moment as they strive to salvage their season and secure European qualification.
