Erik Ten Hag hasn’t won the EPL in the last two years. Manchester United cannot boast of being considered as contenders for the league title. When it comes to top contenders for the EPL title, just three teams comes to mind; Manchester City, Liverpool, and Arsenal. I would put these managers ahead of Erik Ten Hag any day and time.
ETH has won the FA Cup and Carabao Cup but that is not what the fans what. Those trophies are like a compensation for the shortcomings of the team, the bragging rights of an English club has to be winning the EPL or Champions league trophy.
Yes Manchester United have definitely not been the club they use to me be since the departure of the legendary manager Sir Alex Ferguson, so this doesn’t have anything to do with Erik Ten Hag alone. In the past two years that he is been year I think the first year on United perspective was a successful with the club going back to the elite competition which is the champions league and then the second season which was last season was definitely not the best of Seasons but he still manages to cough out a trophy. Going by this stats it is easy to say par Guardiola he has done better than other managers since his arrival into the club.
Many bettors will place Man City, Arsenal and Liverpool as the favorite teams to win next season, however, we must not simply ignore the potential that Man United has. Ten Hag future will be at stake if Man United again fails to get a ticket to the Champions League, I think the club top brass will no longer tolerate him. To compete for trophies, personally I am still a little doubtful about Man United, the depth of the squad built by Ten Hag is still less than the favorite teams, as are the reserve players he has.
On the other hand, Ten Hag deserves appreciation because he managed to present the FA Cup trophy, but this trophy is not enough and is not commensurate with the budget spent by Ten Hag in the transfer window. Next season, Ten Hag needs to change his strategy, as well as his approach to players. Overall, Ten Hag needs to ensure that the Man United dressing room is peaceful and full of ambition, before they fight to achieve glory like in the Ferguson era.
