We just need to support him because these so called journalists are waiting to tear him to pieces. Disgusting lot
Erik Ten Hag Press Conference (v Brighton) | 13:30 BST
- Thread starter VP89
- Start date
If the first presser is anything to go by, the journos are not going to get much out of ETH. Most of the questions were longer than the answers! Part of it may be language related but I can see the negative headlines already as Utd bashing is currently the in thing!
Quotes please!
He doesnt give away much does he? I dont think he likes public talking but a lot of people are like that. I dont expect these rag journos are going to look forward to his press conferences much.
I love this guy already. He's exactly what we need. united fans must give him all the time to succeed because I think he will as long as we aren't getting #tenhagout just because we drop a few points here and there.
I think he'll do his best work during the world cup break in working with the remaining squad and getting them to play his system in their sleep. I predict post world cup, United will look extremely sharp for the rest of the season.

feck the journos, he is there to win games not talk to them.
His long stare of disgust at Wacko Jacko was gorgeous
Do your own research.
They are going to bash him anyway so why waste time giving them anything more? Fans just need to stick by him and stop giving these reporters any oxygen - only way to temper things imho.
Anti-Ralf when it comes to press conferences
Must've read what harry redknapp said on Twitter
Every manager is different and that is all fine. We have every kind of managers up there. I think after Solskjaer and Rangnick journalist will find it little bit harder with tenHag. Still, he is no vanGaal in terms of authority if we look at managers after Sir Alex Ferguson.
Where are people watching this?
MUTV - finished now
They always hyper fixate on one thing, Rooney was 90% of all pressers about for a solid year. In every session it's like there is a contractual obligation that one question that must be slightly rephrased then asked about 8 times.
"Any injuries?"
"Who's not available?"
"Are there any selection headaches caused by absences?"
Streaming on club's website.
Shades of Fergie
Good number of journos need to be taken down a couple of pegs. Hopefully ETH is starting as he means to go on
Works fine from 1:30.
Expected a question about philosophy, should’ve known better
Every manager need time. Every. Unfortunately those who were loudest with their "sack this and that manager" will still be the same and loud. They want to win everything instantly and doesn't understand meaning of process.
Apparently he did not get on well with the journos when he was at Ajax either.
IMO doesn't matter at all what he does in the press conferences/interviews as long as he's putting the club 1st and then coaching the team well on it.
Simon Peach straight into Ten Hag's firing line. 
I'd much rather ETH's cut throat approach to the media rather than Ole's we're all buddies approach.
'What do you mean by that'?
He's so brusque. Honestly love him. I'm gonna be nervous on Sunday more than usual. Really want him to start with a win.

3:28 is brilliant.
Journalist wants to beat around the bush and have Eric do his job for him. Eric rightfully makes him sound like a mumbling idiot.
What's he saying now
I remember how impressed us fans were when RR gave his first press conference. But we all know how that turned out. There’s always the novelty factor with new managers fronting the media for the first time
Every day of the week. At one point, the journalists will think twice about stupid questions when they get the EtH treatment... kinda like Fergie
He does sound like he has a plan. Football focus is right there and hopefully he will proceed further with murdering the drama out of the club.
Nothing good!!
This is pure bullshite. Giving managers time for the sake of it isn’t support. Managers have to be good enough and we haven’t had a good enough manager since Fergie. I’m optimistic that Ten Hag is a top manager who will return us to the top but we still need to see evidence of that on the pitch. What you are basically saying is it doesn’t matter how managers perform we will back them.
Good to hear him saying Martinez and Eriksen are fit to play
Came across as no less authoritative than Van Gaal to me. Definitely less zany.
I always find it amusing watching a manager come into the the Premier League for the first time, there is always this look of shock about how shit the English press are in their first press conference.
Klopp finished 8th in his first season with some dire football. Pep finished 4th despite spending something like 200m on an already fantastic City squad. So yeah it takes time to get your ideas across.
