Now now.. don't you know that every manager will need 5 seasons and 1 billion spending to score more than everton and luton?
This is absolutely damning. He was what those of us who wanted him here for, represented in terms of football played and aggression in play as well as supposedly being an excellent coach.On the dutch paper site AD, there are quotes from Ten Hag talking to VIAPLAY saying we will never play like how he played at ajax, that's not why he came here. "The way we played at AJAX, you won't ever see that here." "The player material decides how we play. That's why I can not let this team play the way I did at ajax. I have to, I can't play the same way here. It's also not in the DNA of Manchester United. Ajax football is very specific, here we have to play more direct. We have the type of players for that."
He speaks like at United we do not accept or want Ajax type of football and he is forced to play a different brand... I'm sure many on the caf were dreaming of our team playing like his Ajax team and that it was a big reason many wanted him here for... Is this shit football and his player acquirement strategy just a confused Ten Hag thinking we want hoofball?
Interim. It doesn't have to be the man.

Wasn't that because of his own pedigree? Losing to Sevilla wasn't the nail in the coffin it was his melting down in the press conference and how bottling in the CL was our heritage... Of course the football was dire as well, so just like lvg it was a factor and people were losing patience.
Well, are you genuinely believing playing Varane rather than Evans could save us from this game?
Very rarely do we come across something actually interesting and revelatory from these coaches but if the quotes on @Kevin 's post are true, this really answers a lot of questions!

I don’t think so, but everyone has opinions, rightly so.
It pains me to say but this is why he won’t work at United. We needed someone to come in and mutate this supposed DNA of ours into something more modern. I genuinely thought we were finally getting a manager whose vision was to see us dominate the ball like Ajax, like Bayern, City etc and that the vision came first. Instead it seems he’s someone who has accepted us for what we are and is trying to make the most out of that where’s the truth is that what we have / are is nowhere remotely near what is needed achieve big things.On the dutch paper site AD, there are quotes from Ten Hag talking to VIAPLAY saying we will never play like how he played at ajax, that's not why he came here.

It's not necessarily Ole-esque. Ole knew nothing else and could do nothing else. He just tried to do what Fergie did except he lacked the aura, charisma, leadership and much more. It's unclear to me why EtH says that, he seems to imply that it's about the players' profile and add the "also it's not in United DNA". It doesn't sound to me that he is married to the romance of it, more so that he feels it's the best we can do with the "material" as he puts it, we have.
These combined posts point to the major issue with him abandoning his own principles: he doesn't know how to play more traditional styles of football and he doesn't have the in-game tactical nous to gloss that over.
Unfortunately I don’t think boycotting games will work anyway simply because the Glazers don’t care - they are so far away from it all. What we need is for the American reds to disrupt their NFL games and take the protests there.
