just heard about Erik ten Hag gettin sacked from Man Utd... feels like a shock, ya know? I mean, the guy was supposed to be the one who'd turn it around for them. But I guess even the best teams go through ups and downs, right? 
I think what's gonna be interesting is seein how they play out the rest of the season now that Ten Hag is gone. Are they gonna go with a new manager or just stick with whoever's on the bench?
It's all guesswork at this point, but I'm sure fans are feelin pretty anxious about it.Personally, I think Erik ten Hag had some great ideas for how to improve Man Utd's game. He brought in some fresh talent and experimented with different tactics that were worth watchin'. But at the end of the day, football's a tough sport, and sometimes you just gotta take the hit when things aren't goin' as planned
.man i feel like this is all so relatable to school life 
imagine if ur teacher just didn't get what u were trying 2 do in class and they'd be like "ok we'll just keep doing it this way cuz that's what works for them not us" meanwhile u r over here thinking "but wait ain't we supposed 2 be learning new stuff?" 
anyway back 2 man united i think its pretty sus that the board is all up in erik ten hags grill like what if they just gave him a lil more room 2 experiment with different tactics? it sounds 2 me like they're trying 2 micromanage everythin instead of trusting the guy in charge

So like, i think erik ten hag got sacked for a good reason tho 
his tactics just weren't working out 
especially with all the top talent at man utd 
they need someone who's gonna get the best out of them 
and make the team gel as one 
i mean, i've been saying it for ages
that ten hag's style is all about possession football 
but what if man utd isn't a tiki-taka team? 
they need someone who can adapt to their strengths and play to the individual talents of their players 
like, have you seen Ronaldo's goals this season? 
that's skill right there! 
️anywayz, hope erik ten hag finds a new gig soon
he was a cool gaffer and all but like... 
I gotta say, I'm surprised they let him go so quickly. Like, isn't this guy supposed to be one of the top managers in Europe? You'd think he'd have some sort of plan B or C, but apparently not. And yeah, I get it, the start of the season hasn't been great, but you can't just throw away a 50m+ man without even giving him time to adjust his system, right? 
️ It's all about player development and strategy. But hey, at least they're willing to try new things, I guess... or at least, that's what the board is saying 
. Ten Hag himself said he didn't agree with the decision, but you know how these things go - power struggles and backroom deals 
. Anyway, I'm not holding my breath on this next manager they pick up 
. They need someone who can adapt and bring some much-needed stability to that squad...

Erik ten Hag is gone?!?! I mean, I know they said he wasn't adapting to the squad's strengths but I thought he was doing a decent job lol. He brought in some fresh ideas and tactics that got the team playing all over the pitch 
. And can you believe it now? The board is already getting involved with rumors of disagreements? Like, what even happened behind the scenes? Did they not see how well he was doing at Old Trafford? I'm so confused right now...

Ugh I'm so done with Manchester United rn I mean, I've been a die-hard fan since I was like 8 and I've seen them go through so much but this is just getting ridiculous Ten Hag's tactics were always kinda meh to me anyway, felt like he was trying too hard to fit in with the whole 'pressing' thing that everyone else was doing. Like, yeah it worked for Ajax and all but when you're playing in the Prem, you gotta adapt, you know? I get why the board's getting frustrated, Ten Hag's not exactly been a game-changer since he took over Still, I'm gonna miss him, he was one of the few managers who actually spoke about player development and stuff like that... but I guess that's just not what they're looking for at Old Trafford anymore

Honestly, I feel bad for Erik ten Hag, he was trying his best but it seems like the club wasn't on the same page as him. The board's decision is a bit surprising though, you'd think they'd want to give the manager more time to sort out their issues. Maybe the team's performance just isn't as strong as they thought. Either way, change can be tough for both players and coaches.

I'm shocked by this news ! Erik ten Hag is a genius manager, I've been following him since Ajax days, his tactics are so innovative and exciting to watch. He brought that same energy to United and I loved it 
. I know he's not perfect, but to sack him already? It feels like a mistake, maybe they should give him more time to adjust the team's playing style . The rumors of disagreements with the board are weird though, Ten Hag has always been a pro at communicating with his players and staff, what could they possibly be disagreeing about . I hope they realize their mistake soon, I'd love to see United get back to that dominant form .

I feel like this is what happens when you have a manager who's more focused on being "trendy" with his tactics, rather than actually getting results. I mean, if they knew going in that they were gonna struggle, why didn't they make some changes sooner? And now, the whole board's gotta take one for the team...or at least, it seems like that's what's going on here I think Erik ten Hag is a decent manager and all, but sometimes you just gotta adapt to your circumstances, you know? 
I'm not saying he was perfect or anything, but this feels like a bit of a knee-jerk reaction...like they're trying to make a statement rather than actually fixing the problems 
awww man i feel bad for ten hag, didnt see this comin' 
he had a tough start to the season, but you gotta remember its not easy bein the manager of a big club like manchester united 
everyone's expectin wins and trophies all the time. u gotta give him some credit though, he tried somethin new and that takes guts plus he's got some talented players at his disposal 
cant say im entirely surprised tho, rumors were flyin around about disagreements with the board...that can be a big headache to deal with anyways, hope ten hag finds another gig soon, hes gonna bounce back from this

I know the start to the season wasn't great, but you never know what's gonna happen in football right? Maybe this is an opportunity for the club to find a new manager who's got a fresh perspective and can lead them to success . And honestly, I think it's good that they're making a change - sometimes a shake-up can be just what a team needs to get back on track . Plus, it's not like Ten Hag was the only one with their finger on the pulse of the game, right? There are always gonna be twists and turns in football, and I'm sure he'll bounce back from this 
. Who knows, maybe he'll come back as a coach or something, and share his expertise with a new team

anyway, i'm more worried about the fans who got their hopes up for the season and now they're stuck with another managerial change. can we please just give the players a break and let them do their thing? they're not the ones making the decisions around here. and what's going on with the board, btw? are they more concerned about winning trophies or making a profit?

. and what's going on with the board, btw? are they more concerned about winning trophies or making a profit? just heard the news about Erik ten Hag gettin sacked at Man U, think it's a bit harsh, considering he took over with no expectations, right? I mean, nobody thought they'd be in the top 4 after last season, but then he gets 'em there and doin alright... seems like the board's got some beefs with him, maybe 'cause he's not playin to their 'brand' or somethin. I'm all for tryin new things, but if it ain't workin, gotta make a change, i guess?
still, think they should've given him more time, like 2-3 years, that's the usual cycle for managers in this league.anywayz, don't know what'll happen next, but hope the new bloke's got some magic up 'is sleeve, or whatever
. wonder if it's gonna be one of those 'rebuild' situations, or if they're gonna go all out and sign some top talent... 
manutd is in shambles right now what happened to the team? they were always so strong, now its like theyre stuck in neutral i think tenhag had some decent ideas at first but maybe didnt stick with them long enough or just lost momentum anyways its not his fault, he got sacked for a reason, gotta give it to him he gave it a good shot can we get someone new who actually knows the team's strengths? Man... Erik ten Hag didn't stand a chance . I mean, you gotta give him credit, he's a cool guy and all, but that team just wasn't clicking 
️. I was watching some of their games, and it seemed like they were trying to fit a square peg into a round hole . Ten Hag is known for his high-intensity pressing and counter-attacking style, which is great on paper, but not so much when you're playing against teams that just want to park the bus ️.
I think the board is right to give him the boot
. They need someone who's gonna shake things up and bring some excitement back to Old Trafford 
. It's not like Ten Hag didn't have any success, he did take Ajax all the way in the Champions League, but this was a different beast . Anyway, it'll be interesting to see who they pick next ... probably someone with a lot of experience and a proven track record .

I mean, they've got some great players like Ronaldo and Varane, but if they can't get their tactics right, it's gonna be tough to compete with the top teams. Ten Hag just didn't seem to fit in with the team's playing style, you know? They need someone who can get the best out of that squad and I think that's what happened here 
. It's all a bit unfortunate for Ten Hag, he's a great manager and I thought he had it sorted. The board's got to make tough decisions like this sometimes, but it's hard not to feel for the guy who just lost his job

i feel bad for him he was like a young coach trying to make it happen but yeah you gotta adapt and the board probably felt he wasn't doing that https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/56284158

I mean, his tactics were all over the place last season. They kept trying to fit him into this new, fancy style that just didn't work for us. We're a working-class club at heart and I think they lost sight of that.I've been saying it since he took over - we needed someone who understood our game, not some fancy-pants coach trying to change everything about the team. Now we're back to square one, looking for another manager to try and turn things around. It's like déjà vu all over again
. The board's gotta be kicking themselves for not being more patient with him.I'm curious to see who they bring in next - someone who can get us playing some proper football, you know? Not just some flashy player or a bunch of fancy-schmancy tactics. We need a manager who knows how to get the best out of our players and win some trophies
