Probably realising he's made the biggest mistake of his career joining this mess.

Nik (@Rood) and Imran (@Annihilate Now!) discuss United's fantastic win away against Athletic Club in the semi-final of the Europa League.
They also pick out the positives of United's 4-3 loss away at Brentford, and Nik reviews a day out at Old Trafford watching Manchester United Women qualify for the Champions League.
Feel sorry for him? It’s the manager’s decision to play with five defenders and let two full backs play as wingbacks.
They have and it’s heartbreaking. I am behind him. Most of these players are terrible.
He has already us in a relegation battle with his tactics. We are even more open than under ETH. He won't last till March at this rate.
Maybe it wasnt Ten Hag after all, it's not Amorim either.
The players are fecking shit.

None of the players have a clue what to do. Obviously he's not lying when he says there's next to no time to actually train them to learn it
Should have stood his ground and insisted on a move season end. This lot will end him before he even gets a chance.
I don't think Ruud would be doing well necessarily, but I also don't think he'd be doing this bad. Ruben starting next season with a pre season behind him would have given him a much better chance. I'm just not sure he can continue losing games until the end of the season and he's kept on. I would hope that he is and given a summer window but will INEOS?
If anything needs to be more ruthless. If he wants to bring his ideas in at this point he needs to do that with whatever players he can. Bring in youth players instead of the senior trash we have
Can he really turn this around? We are absolutely broken. Rock bottom
Which manager would do better by relying on Hojlund and Zirkzee to win games. Other clubs know we’re unlikely to score against them which gives them more confidence going forward.
I have my doubts
What if the youth players aren’t made for this system either?
Yeah and then we will have the usual he is assessing the players etc and some of these wasters will end up staying as a result.
Game by game I think people are quickly realising that we're in massive trouble here, and it might be a job to actually get to the summer to bring any players in!
Yep it seems a stretch to think we just happen to have some youth, who haven't yet emerged with one of the weakest squads in the last 30 years and expect them to do well in a system none of them will have played.
players look totally destroyed confidence wise, i dont think they believe in this formation anymore. Amorim needs to be more pragmatic in formation or play actual attackers in the wingback role.
also nobody likes being a wingback, its incredibly hard work for little enjoyment I used to play as a winger and was asked to go wingback one game and after i said to the manager. I'll never play that position again and dont ever ask me to. So you can imagine what Garnacho and Amad think about playing there.

6 defensive players again in the lineup. We offer nothing going forward. Teams aren’t afraid so just peg us back. Of course this is on the manager. He needs to play Amad on the right and another attacker off the striker. I don’t agree with the formation but if he keeps playing it, playing 6 fecking defensive players is stupid.
This club needs rock bottom!
I can't see him surviving this season. Zero improvement in the team other than the formation.
Not working this formation.
4-3-3.
Mainoo and casemiro sitting, Erikson the 3rd midfielder.
Rashford, Hoijlund and Garnacho upfront.

Utter nonsense. No one forced him to come here. A job offer was made and he accepted. If he didn’t want it, he should have said no. Now he keeps playing a formation which doesn’t seem to work and a 6 defensive players which means we offer nothing going forward.
We look worse than ever. Like this is comically bad. Relegation time.
I really want him to succeed, but my god he is too naïve, really got us in a relegation battle. he had the team playing from a mid table level to a pub team
He hadn't had a window. Maybe ten Hag wasn't that bad either.
That front 3 is terrible, Hojlund just spins 180 and crashes into the centre back
We look absolutely pathetic and seem to be declining with every game recently.
Not this season or with these players, I realised that after Bournemouth. This team is absolutely cooked and that game ruined them again. Weak as piss, fragile cnuts the lot of them. It’ll just get worse this season, we won’t win until Southampton and we need to start picking up points very quickly after that.
Ultimately we don’t have the players to play his system. Bringing him in whilst the season has started, with no time to train the players was such a bad decision by the board. He’s going to get the sack because results aren’t happening. We are getting pulled too close into the relegation places.
In January they need to buy or loan a LWB, CM and a number 10 or striker. Something needs to happen otherwise we are in real trouble.

This is a disgrace
Everyone loved signing them but Casemiro and Eriksen were awful signings.
The fact that playing them now means we automatically have no midfield is just brilliant.

No, I agree with @Shark . We said now or never to him.
That Zirkzee guy must be sold 
Actually made us worse, didnt think it was possible but he's done it. Some achievement that.
Starting to worry a little bit for him. Feels like we’re in freefall now and there’s a limit to how bad it will be allowed to get.
There’s a whole other division lurking beneath that rock…
January transfer miracle needed.
Southampton have a new manager, so that will be tough.
I’ve never been so happy to have a manager come in as I was Amorin. Looks like he’s going to get us relegated. We have been awful this last 5 games and not looked comfortable once. We know the players are shit but this tactic is getting pulled apart in a weekly basis. Could be sacked in a few weeks when he hits 6 straight defeats - he’ll have no complaints.
Rather we get relegation before these feckless twats get another manager sacked. And if INEOS do so, they can go and feck too.
We're probably getting worse by the week because the fecking losers we call United players aren't up for the fight
I don't think we'd be much better under ten hag
