Man U vs City Manchester Derby: Ten Hag to Beat Guardiola?
Pep Guardiola said in today’s press conference “Man Utd has to always be up there challenging seriously for every competition, this is Man Utd, right now their heading in the right way”. Man U vs City Manchester Derby: Ten Hag to Beat Guardiola?
it’s insane that United actually have a small chance at the title. Not likely but it’s still there. Need to beat City and Arsenal which is doable but I won’t be upset if it doesn’t happen.
Erik ten Hag is hoping to outfox Pep Guardiola and nullify Erling Haaland
Manchester United manager Erik Ten Hag reflected on their 6-3 defeat at Man City earlier in the season:
“That game was a setback, we can all find reasons why but it’s not that interesting.
“It’s about acting and delivering and as coaches you have to go to certain steps. You need a clear vision, philosophy, and you need a clear point where you want to go, a direction.
“Then it’s about development, it’s what we did.”
Ten Hag admitted City taught United a lesson the last time the two sides met and has called on his players to be brave when they face their local rivals again at lunchtime on Saturday.
The Dutchman added: “What does it mean to be brave? Always it’s a way of playing, in possession, giving each other options, taking the right decisions, going forward when it’s possible, defending and being on the front foot, being aggressive.
“That’s what it means to be brave. As a team, act with togetherness, to have the same ideas in every situation. That means bravery. Top football is about results, but you want to do it in a certain way. Be proactive, adventurous and also entertain.
Ten Hag also confirmed Donny Van De Beek has been ruled out for the rest of the campaign by injury.
“In the long term, he is looking really good, he will be back for the start of pre-season,” Ten Hag said. “The rest of the season he is out.
Utd have come on leaps and bounds since ten hag’s appointment.
Man U vs City Manchester Derby: Ten Hag to Beat Guardiola?
As a lifelong Utd fan, it’s been hard watching the club struggle since sir alex left.
We’re starting to see ten hag’s vision come together.
A top 4 finish this season then push for the league title next season.
Definitely need another top class CB and a world class striker for the future
And now they travel across town to face their local rivals on Saturday, live on talkSPORT.
City are five points behind Arsenal and cannot afford any more slip-ups or risk falling further behind in the title charge.
Man United, meanwhile, are in the ascendancy having won every match since the World Cup concluded.
Another victory for Erik ten Hag’s men would put them a point behind City.
And there is every reason why Pep Guardiola might be feeling a bit worried…
Really happy with United’s progress recently and the city seems a little off the pace right now. Having said that, cities always have it in their locker to just turn up and dominate. Very exciting game tomorrow.
City has a lot to lose than utd right now in epl from tomorrow’s game..Utd on the other hand has a better run of form with compact defense.. Exciting set up.
A major concern of United’s last season was their shocking defense but Ten Hag has revamped their backline with the signing of Lisandro Martinez while players like Aaron Wan-Bissaka and Harry Maguire have dropped out of the team.
The result has been nine clean sheets in 11 Old Trafford appearances this season while the likes of Raphael Varane, Luke Shaw and Diogo Dalot have seen their form improve.
Martinez, who was denounced by Graeme Souness after his £57 million arrival from Ajax, has proved an astute signing – translating Ten Hag’s defensive tactics onto the pitch.

There is NO REASON for Gareth Southgate to be linked with the Manchester United job
Gareth Southgate is the only person in the Universe who can turn Manchester United into Middlesbrough within no time
The English media is trying all their best to push Southgate to united, but he is championship level manager at best
The England national team is waay better than this Manu squad, and he has had 0 success ( reaching semis ain’t success). So what exactly are people expecting if he becomes Manu boss
Absolutely no way! Why would Man U hire Southgate? That would be the worse decision in the history of the game.
ETH outwitted Klopp last weekend in one of the best and most dramatic FA cup clashes in years and I’m sorry but Southgate would not have won that game and ETH has had to deal with Ronaldo, Sancho, Greenwood and so on, he deserves more time

I have been saying this for weeks now. If United were under any other manager especially Southgate, they would be fighting for relegation right now. The problem at United is not Ten Hag but the players.
People keep saying that Ten Hag’s style of football at United is not attractive and no identity but there is so much that a manager can do if the players themselves are not good enough or not putting enough effort. Ten Hag’s Ajax were playing attractive football and he managed to get them to the SF of the CL.
Without him, look at Ajax now. And the media keep pushing their agenda to get Ten Hag sack and replace him with a much worse manager like Southgate. If Ten Hag is managing England right now, with the players they have, we won’t see such a passive football like we saw yesterday vs Brazil. Ask Liverpool fans, would they replace Klopp with Southgate? I rest my case.

Liverpool only have themselves to blame for loss to Manchester United. Had to find a way to squeeze in the random Bruno slag off in between. Dude was dead on his feet at full time, and had to slot in to center back for the last 30 minutes.
SportsFila reflect on Manchester United’s 4-3 win over Liverpool in the FA Cup Quarterfinals and look ahead to the semifinals where Erik ten Hag’s side will take on Coventry.
How come everybody seems to have forgotten that 2 of LFC’s goals were pure luck?
More shots, same shots on goal, higher goal expectancy. What is this narrative that Liverpool should have put this game away, if anything we should’ve put this game away! They had a good 20, 25 minute stint where they kept the ball in the second half, but did nothing with it, we deservedly won this game.

For Liverpool fans: don’t say that we lost to Manchester United because Jota Trent Alisson and jones didn’t play. We have to stop doing that every time a team loses a big game it’s very stupid because had you won, you wouldn’t be saying that. Don’t forget that when y’all drew 0-0 to them at home Trent Alisson and Jones started. Keep in mind how well they’ve been playing despite having lots of injuries they almost beat Manchester City’s full strength squad last week.
Also, you lose to Manchester United, 2 fringe players for them decided the game for them, Liverpool didn’t play well and a loss is a loss you have to accept it otherwise you’re a sole loser and are unwilling to take it.
It’s interesting how nothing much is said about the mistakes made by Liverpool, but all criticism is piled on Bruno; how supposedly poor he was.
Ten Hag claims United is moving in the right direction 👀 WHAT DIRECTION IS THAT?!
Every time he speaks after a dismal performance after the match I always sit there saying to myself “What on Earth are you talking about”.
The media trying so hard to get ETH sacked…..when liverpool had bad injuries with VVD out, y’all didnt have the same energy
Most fans want ETH out because of his poor tactics and substitutions. I also felt he should be braver to drop non-performing players irrespective of names, and even play academy players if he has to.
Now I’m ETH in because I realise from Rooney’s and Ole’s recent interviews that the mentality of these players are incredibly low and it’s no longer just speculation that the players can’t cope on this stage.
I can understand ETH saying positive things and coming off as “crazy” but if you have players who are weak minded and aren’t willing to fight, you can’t be tough cos they’ll cave and where does that leave you for the rest of the season?! Jason Sancho case in point. I rather come across as insane to the media but hope that I’m lifting the team enough to get a string of performances to save my job and give the fans at least something to cheer about until I can have a summer clear out.
Keane is a freaking legend but that approach with these weak players will kill them and ETH would lose the dressing room.
This man keeps dropping off bombs on and off the field..A gift that keeps on giving..Most delulu man on this green earth
What a GIFT! Hand him a 15 years contract and 5 years add ons
The problem for Utd in recruiting an elite manager in the Summer is that Liverpool, Bayern and Barca will also be looking for new managers.
From the moment I heard “A new era begins. .” from ETH. I knew it was the joke of the century. He has the guts to say it while Klopp/Guardiola are competing against each other by 1 point in the Primer league he acted like he can compete with them ro
