Ten Hag Warns Barcelona about Ruthless Man United
‘I told fans “Come Thursday! It’s a BIG GAME! We BEAT Barcelona TOGETHER!” | Ten Hag | MUFC 3-0 . Ten Hag Warns Barcelona about Ruthless Man United.
Post-match press conference with Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag following their 3-0 win against Leicester in the Premier League.
Marcus Rashford’s remarkable form continued with a thumping brace as Manchester United survived a sloppy start to comfortably beat Leicester in the Premier League following a build-up dominated by takeover talk.
Chris Silvester said: What a man, what a manager. I know I keep saying this but I absolutely adore this man. What he’s done in his first few months is remarkable yet this is only just the beginning. Playing a game every 3 days yet the way we keep playing is so beautiful so orgasmic I think many of us fans have 3rd legs lol. Now bring on Barcalona & make Old Trafford a fortress. I’m so buzzed.
But Ten Hag seemed to regret that decision and, at half time, replaced Alejandro Garnacho with the England international.
It was a decision that, without a doubt, paid off.
Sancho was a constant threat upon being introduced and, in the 61st minute, scored his side’s third goal of the game.
Certainly, his statistics show that he’s a player who now seems to be finally finding his feet after 18 months of inconsistency.
The former Borussia Dortmund star, in just 49 minutes, managed a pass accuracy of 93 per cent.
He touched the ball 43 times, completed all 16 of his passes in the final third and also managed six dribbles.
A great pass from Bruno and a good goal by Rashy, the rest it was rubbish”. Tell them how it is Gaffer. What every fan wants to hear. No excuses, no scapegoats, no flannel. Just a straight, honest assessment. Love this manager.
Ten Hag Warns Barcelona about Ruthless Man United
When he said “let’s beat Barcelona together” I felt that. What a guy , I would love to see the new owners mention replacing manager. There’s some big roles in our club need replacement but manager ain’t one of them. Erik is red and fans are behind him. They would be stupid to try and f*** with that.
Barcelona head coach Xavi has all but confirmed that winger Ousmane Dembele will miss Thursday night’s Europa League second-leg clash with Manchester United at Old Trafford.
The Frenchman, who has often been linked with a move to United in the past, missed Thursday’s thrilling 2-2 draw between the two sides at Camp Nou through injury. He has missed each of Barcelona’s last four matches with a hamstring problem.
Dembele, who has scored eight goals in all competitions for the La Liga heavyweights this season, suffered the blow when he limped out of the 1-0 win over Girona on January 28 after just 25 minutes. The Spanish club have strength in depth in forward areas and Raphinha, who scored their second goal against United in midweek, has slotted straight in at right-wing in his absence.
We all love this man so much. He is realistic. Knows what he is doing. What he had done this season is a miracle. We all have to back him and listen to him. I hope when the new owners come in they back him and trust him to the fullest he will get United back to the top and also make the owners happy with profits.
Jose Mourinho wanted Sancho back in 2017, when it was clear the forward would be leaving Manchester City, only to miss out.
Though Ole Gunnar Solskjaer finally landed the forward in 2021, that happened after failed pursuits over the course of the previous two years.
On Thursday, United will face Barcelona in arguably their toughest test of the season to date.
And a front three of Fernandes, Rashford and Sancho definitely seems the way to go for that showdown.
Speaking after the game, meanwhile, Ten Hag confirmed he was unhappy with the way United performed in the first half against Leicester.
“Leicester is a great team, they played really well and made it really tough for us,” said the 53-year-old.

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.

- Man United searching for Erik ten Hag replacement
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
