The article discusses the recent departure of Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag and the team's struggles on the pitch. The author argues that the club's hierarchy, particularly executive director Richard Arnold and chairman John Reed, bear some responsibility for the team's decline.

The article highlights several issues with the club's recruitment policy, including the signing of players such as Manuel Ugarte and Benjamin Sesko, who have not performed well enough to justify their high salaries. The author also criticizes the club's approach to player development, citing the exclusion of talented young players like Marcus Rashford and Jadon Sancho.

The article also touches on the issue of the team's formation and tactics, with some fans and pundits criticizing Ten Hag's approach as too defensive-minded. However, the author argues that this criticism is unfair, given the club's financial resources and the difficulty of competing in a highly competitive league like the Premier League.

Ultimately, the article concludes that Manchester United's problems run deeper than just one individual manager or coaching philosophy. The club's leadership needs to take a hard look at its own policies and approach if it wants to return to competitiveness.

Wow 😂, I think it's pretty interesting how the hierarchy at Manchester United gets called out for their part in the team's decline. Like, if they were signing players who aren't living up to their potential and not giving young talent a chance, that's a big issue right there 🤔. And yeah, ten Hag might have been defensive-minded, but come on, it's easy to criticize when you're not trying to turn the team around with a huge budget 💸. The thing is, they need to take responsibility for their own problems and figure out what's going on if they want to get back to competing 🏆
 
I gotta say, I'm still trying to process what happened at Old Trafford... Erik ten Hag was always a bit of an enigma, but you can't deny the passion he brought to the team 🤔. What really gets me is how much scrutiny his tactics came under - like, isn't it hard enough trying to compete in this Premier League with all these powerhouses? I mean, Ten Hag took on the challenge and gave it a go, even if it wasn't always pretty... but was it really that bad? 🤷‍♂️
 
I'm so frustrated with Manchester United rn 🤯 they used to be the best in England, but now they're like... stuck 😔. I think Erik ten Hag was a good coach, he tried his best, but the club's hierarchy is all wrong 💼. They keep signing players that aren't even good enough 🤦‍♂️ and then wonder why we don't win matches ⚽️. And what's up with Marcus Rashford and Jadon Sancho being excluded from the team? 😡 those guys are talented, they deserve a chance to shine 💫. The club needs to take responsibility for its own problems and not just blame one person or coaching style 🤔. It's time for some serious changes at Old Trafford 💪
 
I think its a shame they had to let Erik ten Hag go, he was definitely giving it his all, u know? 🤔 But yeah, you're right, the whole recruitment policy is whack, i mean, Ugarte and Sesko just dont seem to be cutting it, plus Rashford and Sancho were being shafted, thats not fair to them or the fans. Ten Hag's tactics mightve been a bit defensive-minded but thats not all his fault, Manchester United has some serious money to throw around 🤑
 
I'm telling you, it's all Erik ten Hag's fault... no wait, that can't be right 🤦‍♂️. I mean, he did try some new tactics and stuff, but at the same time, the club's hierarchy is super responsible for the team's decline 😒. Like, they signed Ugarte and Sesko, who were total busts... unless they were a great signing? 🤔 I don't know, it's all so confusing 🙃. And Ten Hag's defensive tactics might be harsh, but come on, the club's got the money to afford to spend on actual good players 🤑. Or maybe the problem is that they can't find any decent players... like a chicken and egg situation 🥚👀. I'm so done with this debate 💁‍♂️.
 
I think the real issue here is how much the club has changed since the glory days of Sir Alex Ferguson 🤔. It seems like the hierarchy is more focused on making a profit than winning trophies, and that's reflected in their recruitment policy. I mean, who needs a proven winner when you can get a young player with potential for cheap? It's just not working out, though. The lack of investment in youth development is shocking, especially considering the talent they've had coming through the ranks in the past.

And don't even get me started on the formation and tactics 🚫. I think Ten Hag was trying to adapt to the Premier League, but his approach has been too defensive-minded for its own good. The club needs to be more proactive and take risks if it wants to compete with the likes of City and Liverpool.

It's not just about one manager or coaching philosophy, though. The entire club needs a shake-up 🔄. The leadership needs to take responsibility for the team's decline and make some serious changes. It won't be easy, but I think that's what Manchester United needs right now – a fresh start 💪.
 
🤔 I'm not buying it. They're blaming everything on the top brass but what about Ten Hag himself? Was he given a free pass to fail? Shouldn't there be some accountability for the tactics and formation choices that are really costing them games?

And another thing, these 'talented young players' Marcus Rashford and Jadon Sancho... where's their development in the first place? Did they just magically appear at Old Trafford without any training or scouting process?

I need to see more data on the recruitment policy and how it's affecting on-field performance. Can't just make claims based on fan opinions and pundits' analysis. Need concrete evidence. 📊
 
I don’t usually comment on football stuff, but I think it’s weird that they’re blaming the whole leadership for the team’s struggles 🤔. Like, Ten Hag did leave, yeah, but what about all the other managers and coaches who came before him? And isn’t it true that United's financial situation is pretty tight compared to some of their rivals? It just seems like an excuse to me... I mean, I get that they want to make a change, but do they really have to take out their frustration on Ten Hag’s tactics? 🤷‍♂️ And what about those players who didn’t work out? Are they just going to be scapegoats or is there something more going on there?
 
I think we can all learn from Man Utd's situation 🤔. It's like they're trying to force a square peg into a round hole, you know? Trying to fit players who don't quite mesh with the team's style, and expecting them to magically perform better just 'cause they're part of the club. But at the end of the day, it comes down to leadership, fam 💪. The powers that be need to take a long, hard look at their own policies and figure out what's really going on. It's not just about one manager or coaching philosophy - it's about creating a system that works for everyone involved 🔄.
 
I'm shocked Erik ten Hag didn't last a whole season, I mean who wouldn't want to give up on their dream job after just 18 months? 🤣 And the club's handling of recruitment is straight fire, they managed to sign players who can't even crack the starting lineup and still somehow find a way to get them paid top dollar 🤑. Like, what's next, paying someone to not play? It's all about the benjamins at Old Trafford, right? 😂
 
I think Man Utd's leadership needs to sort out their recruitment strategy ASAP 🤔. All these expensive signings aren't paying off and it's not like they're getting any younger 🙅‍♂️. Ten Hag's tactics might not be perfect, but I still think he deserves some credit for trying to adapt to the league. The thing is, you can only try so much with a squad that's being crippled by bad signings 💸. It's time for them to take a long hard look at their recruitment process and figure out what's going wrong 📊. Maybe they need to bring in some fresh blood to sort it out 👥.
 
I'm not surprised to see Manchester United struggling 🤔. I mean, it's been coming for a while now. I think the real question is who's gonna step in and sort out this mess? They need to take a hard look at their recruitment policy, invest in some youth development programs, and maybe, just maybe, spend some money wisely 💸. Ten Hag's departure is just the tip of the iceberg – they've had problems with player retention and signings for ages. It's not all on one person, but the club's leadership needs to own up to their mistakes and make some changes 🔄.
 
🤔 I mean, come on... ten years at Old Trafford with Rangnick and then Ten Hag, you'd think they'd have a system down pat by now 🙄. But nope, same old same old. They're still throwing millions around for strikers who can't even score goals 😂. And don't even get me started on the youngsters like Rashford and Sancho... how hard is it to give them a chance? 🤷‍♂️ The whole thing just feels like a mess. Maybe it's time for some new blood in the boardroom, you know? 👥
 
I'm not buying it 🤔... if Ten Hag was really the issue, then why didn't he get sacked sooner? Seems like the club knew they had a problem and were waiting for him to fail completely before making a move. Sources on this please? I need to see some concrete data on how much of an impact his tactics had on the team's performance.

And what about all these 't talented young players' who are supposedly being excluded from first team action? Where's the proof that they're not ready for top flight football yet? Rashford and Sancho have been with the club since they were youngsters, surely there must be some evidence to support their exclusion from the starting lineup.

The club's hierarchy needs to take a hard look at its policies? Easy for them to say 🤑... how about actual accountability? I want to see some serious changes before I start believing that.
 
I'm not buying it... 😒 I mean, come on, a whole team struggling? It sounds like an excuse to me 🙄. If Ten Hag left because of the recruitment and player development issues, then why didn't he make any changes during his time there? 🤔 He had two years to fix these problems, and now he's gone? 💸 That's not a manager's problem, that's the hierarchy's job 📊.

And let's be real, £200k+ players like Ugarte and Sesko are going to struggle if they're not good enough 💸. You can't just give them contracts and expect them to magically improve 🤷‍♂️. Ten Hag was trying to adapt the team to his style, but the club wouldn't support him? 🚫 That's not a defensive approach, that's incompetence 👎.

The article mentions Rashford and Sancho were excluded from the starting lineup, but it doesn't talk about how they performed when given opportunities ⚽️. Maybe Ten Hag made mistakes, but at least he tried something new. What's the plan now? 🤔
 
I'm kinda thinking about how quickly people get obsessed with blaming others for a team's struggles... like, is it really that easy to say "oh, it's the managers fault" or "it's the club's recruitment policy"? I mean, don't we need to dig a bit deeper than that? What are the underlying reasons behind these issues? Is it just a case of mismanagement, or is there something more systemic going on?

And it got me thinking about how sports teams are like microcosms of society... we're all in this together, right? So when Manchester United is struggling, what's happening within that team and outside of it that's causing those problems? Is it a reflection of our society's values or priorities? It's like, we need to take a step back and look at the bigger picture before we start pointing fingers... 🤔
 
🤔 I mean, back in my day, we had some great managers at Old Trafford, like Sir Alex Ferguson, you know? He was a genius! 🙌 And the team was always so solid, you knew they'd win. Nowadays, it's all about the money and the flashy signings... I don't get why they can't find players who actually have what it takes on the pitch. 🤷‍♂️ Ten Hag might not be perfect, but I think he's a good coach. He just needs some tweaking, you know? And it's not just about him, either. The whole top layer of management needs to take a long hard look at their policies and figure out what's going on. It's like, they want the team to be successful again, but they're not even doing the basics right... 🤦‍♂️ Still, I'm sure it'll turn around eventually. United's got history, man! 💪
 
I think its time for a shake-up at Old Trafford 🏰👊. All these new signings aren't working out and it's making the team look slow and labored ⏱️. I mean, what was the thinking behind signing Ugarte and Sesko? They're just not good enough for the level we expect from Man United 💔. And don't even get me started on Rashford and Sancho being left out of the squad 🤦‍♂️. Ten Hag's tactics are gonna come under scrutiny, but fair play to him for trying something different 🔮. The issue is that the club's leadership needs to sort itself out, not just keep making changes 💪.
