The hiding behind the FA cup win is pretty tragic. I suppose he was given that ability when it literally saved his job though.

Entirely this. There’s been nothing about ETH’s management that warrants a fourth or fifth season at Old Trafford. Let Ruud take the helm now while we sort out the manager for next season. Surely Ruud can’t do any worse that ten Hag and perhaps he’ll do much better.
Even Jose wouldn't stoop so low. Yeah, he referenced trophies, but not when lingering in 14th on the table. You have to pick a time and a place to brag.
Has us finishing 8th with a negative GD and then has the balls to try and gaslight us into thinking we won last season. Amazing.
Cant wait to see him gone.

Must be over with a bad result today.
I think people thinking he’ll be sacked if we lose badly today will be disappointed. INEOS will look even more daft if they did that after bizarrely leaving him place through the international break. He’s got at least a couple games left I think, undeservingly.
It's also telling. There is no issue with being happy to win the FA Cup but he demonstrates no ambition, no high expectations from himself or the squad. How many managers are like that and successfully switch things up later? Can you actually expect to have a highly ambitious core of players in the squad without them turning against the manager?
Dalot.
That's it. Fred also had arguably his best form under ETH but that seemed to be because he was finally played in the correct position rather than anything that ETH really did to improve him as a player. Some will say Scott as well who scored more goals, but once again that's just due to being played in an attacking position, and personally I feel that other than the goals the rest of his game actually got worse.
Horrific indeed, no trophies either. Failed at the one that counts most too.
The Premier League is what counts the most. Not the cups, although that is what you're for some reason sarcastically insinuating.
Give it a fecking rest. Those stats are absolutely damning. A couple of second rate trophies does not change that.
Hes not bragging its basically his Jose 3 times thing. Its a defensive move
You’re going to be very interesting to observe under the next manager, I wonder if you’re going to be just as relentlessly forgiving.
Touched a nerve I see. Trophies are no1 no question. If we can’t win PL (we can’t), trophies are the next big thing.So pathetic

Check my posts when Mourinho came in.
He's the reason the standards are so low. If he's content with last season and see's that as a success then how can the players themselves be motivated to do better ?
Its a joke really.

Only Ralf Rangnick has an overall worse record than Ten Hag of United’s managers since Alex Ferguson left the club in 2013, and the German was only in charge for 29 games.
Jim?? Are you reading this?
Dalot?
Big day for him. Need this win as a springboard.
So tired of listening to him and his bullshit. He should have lost his job after last season.
After all the money spent, just look at those numbers. Thanks for cups but it's been so frustrating in league and Europe for sooo long now.damning article.
Remember when we used to laugh at some of the stuff other teams managers used to say. Now we have a coach who has sunk to new lows in terms of what he's coming out with and I think most of the fanbase want to casually pretend it's not happening. It'll be a long time before any of our lot can have a laugh at another teams coach again.
How many times have we said that?
Guys a delusional feckwit
The only comeback here today is me watching a replay of the Kim Kardashian video with Ray J
Lots of delusional posters who think Ten Hag is gone after each game.
He has the support of the directors and players. Only a couple big losses in a row will see him gone.

At this point the lowering of standards on the pitch makes you question whether it's all by design because he really shouldn't be in the job at this point.
You're right he's going nowhere. But if this is the players 'supporting him' I'd hate (even more) to see see their performances when they don't.
Pretty sure the directors are disgusted with his performance too.
Indeed. No argument there, we are performing poorly.
League form is the bread and butter measurement of where we are at as a team. Not cups. They’re knockout contests which rely on luck as much as anything. Nice to win for sure but league is the true measurement and we’re not in a good place
I'm trying to find the exact one I'm referring to but it's buried amongst a lot of other articles at this stage. Like I said, he was asked about fans not being happy and said they listen to the media. Similar to this sentiment below from after the Coventry game...

A bit hard to understand his point in the above one and whether he's taking aim at some fans or not.
So you would take:
A - a repeat of last season, or
B - a season of watching good football week in week out with no trophy?
I’d take a cup and a gradual improvement in league form.
He seems to believe that if he repeats this mantra it will somehow make people believe him..
Not answering the question then. If we can't win the PL the next best thing is to get closer to being competitive. Domestic cups do nothing to achieve that.
It does when it is the only way to get into Europe
Would I regret staying up well past midnight to watch it here in Australia? Hmmm
Being competitive and cup wins having nothing to do with each other?
I'd gladly give back the FA Cup and the League Cup if I went could have a good manager making us a good team instead.
