Erik ten Hag, who managed Manchester United from 2022 to 2024, has previously addressed the team’s challenges during his tenure. In October 2024, following a series of disappointing results, Ten Hag remained composed, stating, “Nothing is easy, but this is nothing for me to panic about because I experienced it so often with my teams during seasons that you are facing those problems.”
He also acknowledged the impact of external criticism on his players, noting that the influence of social media has made them less “thick-skinned,” which affects their response to negative feedback.
Regarding his vision for Manchester United, former coach Benni McCarthy revealed that Ten Hag had an ambitious 10-year plan for the club, highlighting his dedication and long-term commitment.
Since Ten Hag’s departure in October 2024, Manchester United has experienced a series of managerial changes. As of March 9, 2025, the team played to a 1-1 draw against Arsenal.
