He’s politely saying “the players i have are crap, and the good ones are always injured”.
🤣🤣🤣
haha true
He bought them all lol
@@adammulvey9456did he? Swear most of these players were here under Ole and even Jose
@@adammulvey9456no he didn’t ahaha half the players was here when he joined you plastic
First time I Seen Media giving ETH an opportunity to put his case. Neville made it happen. Possibly the most purposeful interview he has done till date.
Scripted fluffer 🤣🤣🤣
Dele Ali was pretty special
The level of mediocrity of the United fans is amazing, they want to follow the same model and extend more than 10 years being irrelevant in the country and in Europe! Football has changed, it is not what it was 40 years ago where you can expect whatever you want while your neighbor and company humiliate you every year, and do not come with the excuse that ETH has not been given anything to compete, it brought signings that it requested How much was spent? 400 million? and they seriously want to continue the "construction". Damn they are Manchester United, how can you be so passive and not hit the table and demand something at the level of the Club is incredible, they have what they want and what they want is to continue being MEDIOCRE.
EtH looks innocent. His face tells alot. There’s so much happening in the background that he can’t share with the public. I just wish him all the best
I love our right wing with Dalot and Antony, and he loves it too. Maybe he is a problem?🤔
I am agree with this. If Ten hag can cry maybe he will cry and tell anything😂
Mariofileeeeeee
he looks clueless
Ten hag doing this interview is actually confirming that he'll be the manager next season. Gary Neville is a great interviewer 💯
It doesn’t if he losing the next couple games he could be gone but I hope he gets another chance
He's a dead man walking who's waiting for his P45 at the end of season.
Don't you mean next sheashon?
@@shanebrown1544 next sheason at "der klubb"
Not after today
Neville should be interviewing every united manager every season....He asks all what we all wanted to hear...kudos G
He wouldn't be interviewing poch If he was utd manager......his only doing it because ETH isn't his buddy
He didn't interview his 'friend' Solskjær like that.....
He started doing this since ETH became manager. The grilling he got last season from Neville and Carragher in their interview was a joke.
Would love him to interview Rashford and sancho and tell them how he felt playing for Man Utd and ask them why they don’t feel the same
He asks very irrelevant questions😂😂
Gary I want you to know this is one of the best interviews you and your team have done, and I’m going to tell you why. 1) You were fair and honest with your questions. 2) You allowed Erik to speak, without shunning his beliefs, or imposing the fans and medias biases. 3) You gave him a platform to have an honest and hard conversation. 4) You allowed space for Erik to be human, like all of us who have to perform at a high level through scrutiny, criticism, and emotionally charged environments. 5) Multiple times your questions gave the fans and viewers an opportunity to see a man trying his best to perform at a high level and asking for patience and the vision to do his job. 6) Lastly, growth and change are not for the faint of heart. It requires suffering, diligence, and commitment to higher standards than were initially in place. With that comes setbacks, bounce backs, and eventually the success at the end of the process. Thank you for taking the time to do this interview and further my belief in this man as our coach, our manager, and our leader. I believe Erik, if supported, has the tools to rise us from the ashes to surpass our previous glory as a club.
Best comment I've read so far. You and I share the same sentiments. In Erik We Trust!
@@kholwanimvelase2282it’s one of those things that’s so hard for common non-coaching people to understand. I’ve been coaching for 17 years and played for 34 years at a high level in both. Nothing is linear. It’s all about development, improvement in increments, and time. Yes at the professional level results matter more than anything because of the shear amount of money being pumped into the club and game. However, just because that’s the way it is, that doesn’t change the “time” needed for all humans to begin to work in the same direction at a high level.
👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Super comment!
@@nevillesamuels121thanks for the support!!
As a liverpool fan. Ten Haag deserves more time. He is a good decent man. A very good manager who walked into a mess. Many players not good enough on big long contracts before he arrived. He needs another 2 years to resolve and develop the team. Its a huge job and he has handled the pressure well
Yes ye back yer managers especially when it's not hunky dory
Agree, its not always easy to fix something so soon that was already a pile of mess, the guy has proved it last season what he had at his disposal did well and this season hasn’t gone well for him
😉
By saying Liverpool fan .. u said many things .. u want him to sign 10 year contract
Ur one fool lol
Top interview. Allowing a manager to discuss his long term strategy and the challenges outside of an immediate game reaction is really important communication for the fans.
Sir jim will want guys with a positive outlook
This is a manager who understands the responsibilities of Manchester United and has been met with issues and problems that the club has had for 10 years. A man who knows what hes doing if he is given time! KEEP TEN HAG IN
In ten hag we trust
Absolute delusion
as a non man u fan I'm very happy to see him stay lol. let the dutch disaster continue!
I'd say most other non utd fans want this balloon to continue failing us
Tan Hag is handling player attitude problems the club have been hiding for years. Don't know if he is the man to win the Champions League for us but he is the man for now.
Can we support him loud and clear at OT? He needs our support.
@@roughwalkerswell we weren’t … I was there .. booing the subs not him…
When you take a closer look at the our team in the last 10 years apart from Moyes , every other manager that came had a 2nd woeful and terrible season. All of them. They start doing something and it falls apart. Eric is no exception to that order. The managers take the fall, but not the owners. The buying decisions have been questionable. We even had better players in the squad like selling Smalling, Rojo, Baily cos of Maguire. Please explain to me how is that sensible. The coaches always play to the players ability 1st season and 2nd when they want to transition into theirs it falls apart. Then the media turns the events into money printing cos of the headlines they get. Eric has help bring back some sanity. He is helping the brand and team, they should help him. The player power is just too crazy. A team where our best player over the majority of those years was Degea
The stretford end is always singing his name
To many fake fans only there to see the big players they don't see all the problems we've had
@@roughwalkers they were not , it was player itself coming off for the player on .. so the player itself …
Ten Hag is such a dignified man, there are clear differences between us and Ajax and Munich but he will only speak on the matters at united and makes no comparison. I love the man
Speaking as a lifelong United Supporter, We need to Keep Ten Haag for multiple reasons: 1- The first manager to finally hold his ground against our spoiled players(Martial, Sancho, Rashford, etc) and have the backing of the club to do so, while keeping a level head and maintaining professionalism. Jose Tried, they decided to back Pogba and Co. !! 2- How can we evaluate a manager when he hasn’t had his first team available since the season started, and didn’t have the proper structure/support behind him? 3- Continuity is Key. If the players and staff know that the club is 100% behind him and there is no way for them to sabotage, they will get in line fast. 4- We have needed to clean house for at least 6-7 years. We will not be able to achieve that if we keep changing short and long term plans with manager changes. Let him finally get rid of the driftwoods and properly restart the project. 5- There will be no champions league football for us next season, so there is no pressure to preform there, so its the perfect season to recalibrate, regroup and restructure. If They replace him, we will be in the same predicament 2 years from now. The guy knows how to build a winning team, give him one last chance while properly backing him. If it doesn’t work, we will be in the same place we are right now, can’t possibly go any lower than this, can we?! Potter will repeat his failure at Chelsea, he can’t handle big names. Tuchel and Conte have the wrong attitude for united even though they know how to win. Southgate is completely unproven at the club level. Zidane will fail because united doesn’t have Madrid’s structure to back him, yet. Lets see if the new people in charge are any better than the old ones….
Please keep him he is comedy gold. 🤣🤣
Couldn’t have said it better, i agree with everything you said. Why are people so stupid thinking it will be better with a new manager when the infrastructure in the club has never been there? Ten Hag is the man for the job, whether you like it or not!
Great assertion my dear
you are a lifelong idiot
@Shnic01621 are you crazy? This is the worst manager we ever had... 0-4 today😢
Erik again sat in front on Sky Sports when the chips are down and things aren't looking great. Where is this level of attention and scrutiny for Poch or Ange or Klopp. Props to Erik for agreeing to do the interviews.
Cause all 3 will be higher in the PL than this joker
Yes interviewed by Nev Utds biggest cheer- leader LOL
He’s attempting to defend himself, that’s why he is in front of the camera. Defending the indefensible. That just about sums him up. The Dutch Brendan Rodgers.
Spot on.
@@M-nm6rq quit waffling
Give him time man. As a United fan, he is the man for me. Let’s back him.
You are part of the problem.
Ar you a Liverpool fan?😂
Genuinely intrigued as to what you're basing that on? We came bottom in the easiest CL group, his signings have cost 400m and all been terrible, the 2 players he wanted to sell the most in Maguire or McTom have literally saved his job, and we're on less points than Moyes got for us at this point. I.e., much much worse.
Hahaha as a Liverpool fan, please give him more time
@@yessi1585 🤣
People praising Gary. The real praise should be to ETH showing he can defend his ideas. Felt like he educating Gary. Great to see
Jurgen klopp won 1 prem 1 Champions League with a 10-year career at Liverpool and is hailed as one of the best managers in the prem. He's had no where near the dominance that pep has had. But what he's done is been accepted by the fans and been allowed to have years without success. United fans need to understand that there is no quick fix to this problem. United need to start giving mangers time and go through highs and lows in order to give a manager their own legacy. To get to two Cup finals with this club and it's constant cries for silverware, where it has been nowhere near obtaining for these last years. It's a joke to get this man sacked, there are no Alex fergusons left in the game that are avaliable. Alex ferguson could only get to fa cup/carabao finals with this squad. Respect what you got, keep with the process and make a story with him. He's brought through, Mainoo (automatically in England) Garnacho, Hoijland, Martinez, he's identified players with the right attitude who want to play, amongst a 23 man squad who have played trophy less season and down tools for evey manager that has come in. You need to flush and build something and you have the best you can have. Everyone of your players is up for sale it's time move forward.
big difference is klopp and liverpool have spent a fraction of the money united have spent. Completely false comparison.
@user-zb8wb4vi3w the only reason Utd have spent loads of money is because of the extremely poor way the club has been ran. Just because we have spent loads of money it doesn't mean that the money was spent wisely. We could have bought Antony for £40m but the board decided to wait until we lost our first 2 league games then panic buy him for £80m instead
@@user-zb8wb4vi3wklopp spent over billion dollars go check the statistics
Klopp had an identity and style you can hope for, ten hag hasn't shown his
Erik is being respectful to the previous staff is good despite Gary trying to get him to throw them under the bus. Comes across as a good man, give him another season.
Yes, for all the fans of other clubs, do give him another season...
He’s had a proper structure and well-run clubs everywhere else, no coincidence there have been issues without that. And the injuries have been a joke
Gary isn't trying to get ETH to throw them under the bus, he is asking him the questions that should be asked. The players (and the manager) need to be held accountable for their poor performance and poor season. Asking the tough questions isn't throwing them under the bus, it's taking ownership and accountability of the problems.
Yes Gary is too close and angry to Man U. He shouldn't have done this interview.
No don’t give hime another season, he deserves 10 more seasons 🤣🤣
“I can’t say anything negative about this club administration”. That should tell you that there’s a lot of things going on the administrative level. I will still support eth any day
he means it literally im sure. he literally cant say anything cause of nda's or whatever
I'll support this guy for as long as he's at United 🤞
ETH isnt the problem over paid stinking attitude footballers are the problem it's clear eh
We don't want him to say anything though..we want him to properly train our players to the point the players have a system and style of play to where they know what they're doing on the pitch...Bruno treats the football like it's a Grenade..the midfield has more holes in it than a golf course...nothing to do with the administration
@@merafenicodemussegwai55 Even if he is doing a rubbish job, sounds like you support your manager more than your club lol
TEN HAAG DESERVES ANOTHER SEASON. 🔴
Between a rock and a hard place - I hope Ten Hag does the job for us soon and for many years to come.
The fact that the club sanctioned this interview so close to the end of the season says to me that EtH is probably going to stay on as manager. It would be really embarrassing for the club to let ten Hag do an extensive interview like this if they're planning on sacking him. I for one hope he does stay on. People underestimate just how bad the injury crisis has been and I think, especially with all the background changes happening at the club, that he should be given the opportunity to prove himself under the new regime. He has a year left on his contract so give him that year to earn an extension and if it doesn't work out, so be it. It also shouldn't be disregarded that he's handed out 4 debuts this season, all of whom have played minutes in the Premier League and he's got two youngsters who have become first team starters. That's hugely important for a club like United and there's some crazy talent coming through the youth setup that will be looking to break into the first team in the next year or two and they will need a coach who promotes youth.
That is a very good point
Could be. Could also be they are hoping he digs his own grave too.
Fully agree. This interview has actually really changed my mind
Dont forget also dealing with CR7, Greenwood, Anthony, Sancho, Maguire etc Really hope he stays on also as he’s done amazingly well with a poor footballing structure above him. ETH is very measured and calm its just he doesnt have a bench strong enough to come on and close out games which is a measure of how poorly managed Utd have been for years.
@@johnnywade9865he’s done amazingly well?? He’s in for our worst ever premier league finish, finished bottom of the champions league group, well done Erik that’s amazing stuff 👏
Liverpool supporter speaking. Keep Ten Haag. He actually is the right man for the job. Not many can handle the pressures of managing Man U. He has done it very well. He deserves more time.
Give him a decade and he might win a champion s league match . Matches United s present status .
The rest of the pl agrees,keep him😂
Finally a person who knows football, eth will bring us back, first season consistent team, second season not even a consistent team, makes sense
@@daviddeida you think thats an own but its not we actually want him.
@@cyberturkey77speak for urself
thy way he says we not i shows how much of awareness and collective person he is the man for this mission and i as a fan support him fully
Easily the only worthwhile interview I’ve seen of ten hag this season. Well done Gaz. Always a legend.
This guys a stand up guy. He deserves better
How you figure that
He's a stand up comedian
@@applypressure4594 common sense. Look at Manchester United over the last ten years years, which managers have tried to come in and build an infrastructure, he’s brining through so many good young players it’s the club that need to change their mentality
@@ashwilliams4959maybe we should start supporting our managers instead of always bringing them down when they have tough periods?
@@LionDenSports I agree that u should standby your managers when the going gets tough but it's way too late now, u had Moyes handpicked whom u could have supported, LVG came in with a good possession based football identity and u didn't want that, u didn't support Mourinho who is a winner, u didn't support Ole when and decided to want him out of the club when he lost to all top 6 clubs in a row but now u want to support this guy for what??? for building infrastructure and bringing in youngsters from the academy, banning media, doing interview with Neville? what next?
Reading between the lines, it's obvious he thinks he's not got the players (particularly in defence) that he needs to play how he wants. He's definitely the right man for the job in my opinion.
He brought the majority of new players In tho 😂 surely that’s on him?
@@donnybrasco9330Most were not his first choice. Casemiro wasn’t even in his plans we all knew he wanted FDJ , Martinez was also not his first choice signing
@@donnybrasco9330 3/4 back line are not ‘his’ players?
@@trxgon he literally say Frankie and cas would be good together?
Does Ange have the majority of players he wants? Does klopp have all of his team fit this season?
He is absolutely right - the process of onboarding young talent actually goes slower when there isn’t a superb core of established players who the talents can hang around and look up to.
Thank you Sky for arranging this interview. Thank you Gary Neville for asking the right questions, being patient enough to listen to the answers & not let your own biases/opinions overshadow ETH's. Most importantly, thank you ETH for coming out and doing this interview. At a time when things are not perfect, when it was easy to decline this interview & run away from answering the tough questions, you chose to come out & speak your mind. As a United fan it was lovely to hear what ETH had to say & to understand what goes on in the mind of the manager. Lastly, thank you Manchester United for letting ETH come & do this interview ❤️
Back the manager , bounce the players
This manager loves the current squad
@@neilthornton3544he can’t say f these players it’s part of being a manager , I can give you the facts that he wanted to sell Maguire and mctominay last season. He’s working with what he’s got and tbh Scott and harry are having their best seasons in a long time.
His system and tactics are trash, no point of wasting more money on his rubbish transfers
Bounce both
They've already backed him with over 400m.
I'm standing by this manager 100%
Us rival fans are too. Hope he stays for life!
yeah...dont hope to win
Which manager are you standing by. Ten Haag told Gary Neville he needs 5 years to make United in to team that can challenge for the title. So 7 years, and how much cash, just to challenge? Will you waste your hard earned cash, and time, watching 5 more years of mediocrity under Ten Haag? See you in 5 years - NOT!
@@harrydestaffano565 medicority you say, lol.. we’ve been medicore since SAF left us.. ask yourself how much we’ve spent since 2013 which was 10 years ago while changing managers over and over and yet nothing to show for it??? Give the man some time.. he should at least see his contract out next season, if he does well then stick with him, if not then he walks, he deserves at least one more season
@@alonzoknox5137 Wave your white flag elsewhere. Ten Haag told Gary Neville he needs 5 years to make United in to team that can challenge for the title. So 7 years, and how much cash, just to challenge? Who will spend their hard earned cash, and time, watching 5 more years of mediocrity under Ten Haag? See you in 5 years - NOT!
Thanks Gary....you are a (self-deprecating) legend IMO. ETH could be a legend. I really want INEOS/the fans to give this guy time. He comes across as humble, yet ambitious, and such a lovely man. 100% behind ETH.
First time watching this and I think Ten Hag is being very honest. Heard a few people grill Gary for not asking tougher questions but think he’s done a great job. Ten Hag knows how to get the team he wants (better recruitment) and he is an incredible coach. He just needs the support from the club and the right people around him. Hopefully a positive summer and there will be an improvement next season
You have to respect ETH's willingness to be open and transparent.
Hes the most dellusional manager ever to exist in this league . Talks out of his ass he has destroyed united
He dodges a lot of questions and often gives the same non-answers. He is not that open or transparent.
@@MarkHogan994not everything can be transparent. This is a business and he's employed. This isn't your home dinner talk with your closed ones where you can open up.
@@MarkHogan994 he doesn't have to do these interviews... I think it's credit to him.

@@End-The-Genocide they use the club as click baits sadly
@@Aladeenks it is sad tbh. Especially those tools who pay for "Superchats".
@@End-The-Genocidelet’s review these comment in 12months 🤭
This was a very important interview, it gives the fanbase hope, and explains the situation united are in right now.
Good interview Gary. Respectful and fair questions.
No LB practically all season. No best CB in Martinez practically all season, Varane fit for less than 50% of the games. No CDM for 50% of the games. How on earth are you supposed to build consistency and patterns of play when your choosing a different back 4 every single game.
It's down to the musician to get a tune out of his instrument
Very easily to make sure all your teams in training play the same way...even the under 21 and 18s... that way even if the quality drops the system and the style of play stays the same...he is a fraud...he was bought to change the football for the entire club and he hasn't done that, just constant excuses....had the cheek to say he can't play good football because we don't have the players yet he signed 16 of them
its not only man utd suffering from injuries
People think because we're manchester united so it shouldn't happen. So many forgot why Liverpool ended up in the europa league I'll tell you INJURIES. Liverpool didn't get the backlash last season not like we
@ixrvalor0812 correct. Newcastle who are below us in the table have had horrendous injuries this season. Chelsea who are below us have had horrendous injuries. So whats your point? Arsenal who have had practically 0 injuries are top???
I’m quite happy to see a lot of comments getting behind Erik. I respect people can have their opinions thinking he should be replaced as well but I don’t understand it. For me, people are forgetting the team he took over above and below him. It’s been a decade in the making. And honestly it was even more than that. Sir Alex, lucky for us had a death grip on the whole club and established himself firmly. Ineos, sir Jim, I beg you all to hold your nerve. There are plenty of people in this fan base who understand this job to climb to the top will not happen overnight
I always say it, when we first got ETH we all admitted it would take 3 seasons with recruitment done right before we even see a consistent style of play and hopefully challenge for trophys. Unfortunatly we had a pretty good first season that got people giddy thinking maybe it wont actually take too long and then we get what we all actually expected a year later.
@@drillbit673 amen. We gotta hold our nerve here
✔️
@@DBxCooper All my nerves have been stretched.....cannot close out a match !!!
Good to see you DB
Reading these comments is a breath of fresh air. KZhead at its best. Great interview from Gary and excellent answers from EtH.
I like this side of ten hag more he seems more relaxed which it kinda says he staying under a proper structure and hopefully he gets the support and time he deserves to prove how good of a manager he is
He clearly said he is developing his style of play from the academy Then slowly bringing them into the first team Wow No wonder our academy has been very good recent
hes already brought 5 players in to first team appereances with Kobbie, Alejandro, Kwambala wheatly and amass
Our Academy just won the league cup
I kept telling United fans this it’s not just about the first team he’s trying to build a culture around the club that we lost for over a decade we’re 6th that’s not terrible when you really think about it champions league would be to early for this squad anyway they proved that this season
@@willtallis5275 this he build that with ajax and it fell when he left
It predates Ten Hag.
We need to back him. He’s honest, respectful and passionate. We need to give him time and he needs to be given the players he wants/needs to play his game of football.
Lmao, back him? He was given 400 mill and still has no idea what to do.
@@CristanioPeweyyy Is 400 mil enough to compete with City, Liverpool and Arsenal, when the club has been on the decline for over 10 years? Give your head a wobble, we're far from competing with them. Not to mention, Arsenal gave Arteta the time and money to compete and look where they are now.
@@CristanioPeweyyyYet hasn’t been able to use Mount, Malacia, Eriksen, Martínez for most of the season
@@goldie8501no but it is more than enough to see a coherent style of play, look at spurs under ange for example
@eth.h2 Ange is just doing what ETH did in his first season, it's called the new manager bounce for a reason. Also, Spurs have been taking loss after loss as of late. They lost against Arsenal, Chelsea, Newcastle, Wolves and drawn against West Ham in their last ten games. Even what Ange is doing isn't flawless.
Great interview with Erik, I do sympathise with him and he seems more human here, hope he's given the time now
As a Man City fan, Utd please give ETH a lifetime contract.
Great interview. Gary Neville is such a calm and measured interviewer. He is no doubt attached to the club but kept it fair, compassionate and honest.

fantastic interview from both. Really like the guy and want him to do well at United
ETH, we are backing you with our support 100%
He moved to a foreign country while still learning English. Joined one of the biggest clubs in the world were everything you say and do is scrutinized. On top of that he had to deal with players personal problems along with a lot of injuries in the squad. He deserves another season.
Not just that but ETH has the guts to get rid of any player that upsets the dressing room and doesn't gossip to the press about internal matters, He dropped Ronaldo, sancho, Maguire and even his own signing Antony he deserves huge praise for that The only manager to make these decisions and behave professionally since Sir Alex Ferguson. Ten Hag deserves more time!!!!
The best interview I’ve seen Gary Neville conduct. We got the answers we wanted,and we all knew he’s the one that’s been failed here, he’s working with Sunday league players and we want him to play like Ajax or Barcelona 😂

I’ve spent the last 12 months or so pondering whether or not it would be such a task for ETH to keep his baldy head still when he talks. Man looks like he’s constantly watching the most intense tennis rally ever
Ten Hag in!. The man is brilliant and definitely the man to lead Utd for years to come..
This interview gives you a full picture on why he has to be backed, man is seriously honest and explained his problems well with respect to the former management. Also explained why he has stuck to his principles which shows he has a plan
He signed Anthony for 80 million and you want to give him another transfer window?
@@Lajm92 he didn’t pay the money himself the board did, when he wanted Antony earlier in that summer for 45m the club didn’t pay so why blame him for that, also for years it’s evident that Man Utd have always made bad choices on transfers and they spend a ridiculous amount on it so there is a track record that shows that the bad choices of the amount paid comes from the board above him.
He is not helping himself by starting Rashford in every game. That Rashford one is gonna get him sacked but the its his own fault for keep picking him. Same with Ole, He kept playing Fred, Rashford and Maguire every game and got the sack. again his own fault for keep picking these players I don't understand what they see in these players
@@Lajm92 No he didnt it was Murtough
@@ObaAdelore where are you getting your insights? The daily mirror? He picked him, he signed him. He spent 70 million replacing a goalkeeper and ended up having to sign Jonny Evans on a free because he had no money left. The guy is a complete fraud
The media is constantly trying to do this guy dirty, but after watching this you can see why the players, board and club management back him.
haha no they don't. The players have no respect for him and Ineos couldn't be any more open about how they're seeking a replacement. Make the most of this interview, he's a goner by the end of May

@@gabemore1766bruh can't wait such a time maybe one or two
A great interview, respect to Gary and ETH, honest, open an reflected interview 👍🏾
I believe he is still the right man for the job. Arteta is a great example how a team can be when patience is exercised with them
I told my brother that ten hag is the right person for Manchester united job. Patience is the key. Ten hag will soon play actrative and win us champions leagues, premier league and so many trophys if we stick with him. We will surely regret if we let this man go
There’s nobody to replace him at the moment and that’s gna buy him the needed time !
Who’s your brother?

If you told your brother, then it must be right!!
@@citythinkhis shadow
The Guy basically said the same thing to every question. It’s nice to see him being a bit more honest but it is clear that he isn’t allowed to say what he really wants to say yet. Clearly just saying that he doesn’t have the squad depth quality to play his way which makes sense because city without Rodri can’t play the same way with all their quality so why should anyone expect him to be able to.
We still have a style of play without rodri, united dont have a style of play at all lol. Rodri got rested against luton and we won 5-1, weve won the last 3 matches rodri didnt play
exactly @@BoxingB0oda, because city had enough players to cover injuries, wr have to dig from the u21 or u 18s. its not the same.
@BoxingB0oda Says who? you're saying there's no style of play, I can see one, just because a team doesn't play possession or passes 500+ per game doesn't mean it doesn't have a style of play, Oh yeah without Rodri city is very different, a few wins is like saying Haaland ghosting matches shouldn't matter with his amount of goals
@@BoxingB0odabecause you are well ran and have a good squad
@@Sadviolinsound if you see a style of play can you let the rest of us fans know what it is as only You and the bald fraud know What it is...as the players certainly don't they're always in Random positions all over the pitch
This guy is trying to keep everything together. Good first season, second season so many off the field issues at the start, some managers will go their whole career without having one hes had 4 or 5 huge incidents. Add the injuries (i know all teams have them). He deserves a third season and given a real crack at it without the drama. Back the Manager. He's still learning on the job and had the pack stacked against him.
He said it all. If you want to play the Ajax way you need the right players give this man players that know how to play football
This guy lives and breathes mental fortitude and high performance. IN
Ahahahaahahahahahahahahahahaahahahahaha
@@hahacalmants9191forced laughter
He’s had a crazy number of injuries to deal with, but people don’t like it when you say it. He’s picked something like 25 different combinations of players to make up the back 4! That’s mind blowing, no team could succeed doing that
I agree however this many injuries isn't a coincedence or unfotunate, there's something to blame for it at the club. Could be the training methods or the medical department.
I think it just highlights how poor the squad is these days. They don't have a single world class defender right now. Martinez is the best of the lot but even he isn't getting in any top team in Europe.
Forget the injuries. The squad he took over from Rangnick was absolutely useless. Its barely been improved upon since then.
@@turdferguson7264I like Shaw, but the guy is ALWAYS injured!
All clubs deal with injuries
ETH is so polite and respectful, he knows full well what his words mean taken in the press. Wants to expires his ideas and yet still able to do so without overtly offending anyone 👍
Very good and honest interview. What i miss is talk about his signings and departures. Tyrell, Mount, Antony, Amrabat, Weghorst, Onana. Also the departures of De Gea and Anthony. Especially the signing of Antony who succumbs to pressure and fails miserably...
These comments are a breath of fresh air! Good people see the determination and willingness from Ten Hag to improve the team and work with what he has! You can just tell he needs/wants a better structure to perform more consistently and get better and better each week. This man knows what it means to manage Manchester united and is very determined to get the club back to the very best asap. Give him the help he needs, Give him the players he wants and get a better medical team. And i'm sure he'll get Man united to do great things! Give him another chance cause we could see in 22/23 the potential is there, Don't fool yourselves after 1 bad season. The potential is there and the only man who knows and can achieve this is Ten Hag!
United
Yes, but look at his signings....I do not think he is the right man.
@@user-ly5mk1dr1lwho is,then????
The widespread desire for this man to remain is evident. Simply observe the comment section or engage with people in person, and you'll notice that the majority are in favor of Ten Hag staying. It's incredibly encouraging to break away from echo chambers and witness such strong backing for him on a platform as prominent as Sky Sports. Let's disregard the vocal minority; we're keen for him to remain within this new framework.
Other managers that have been criticised, Pochettino, Arteta etc I didn't agree with the criticism there, but Ten Hag deserves every bit of criticism he gets
Because majority of them aren’t United fans lol Ole was the only one opposing fans wanted sacked because at times there was flickers of something under him. Every kopite has been LvG in, Mourinho in, Ten Hag in.
@mrperson2804 Yea I'm sure they were loving that 4-3 defeat in the FA cup 😂😂
@@anderskI am sure no rational fan is saying we absorb ETH of no criticism...
Facts
Brilliant interview , asking the questions the fans want and not the media. We will be back , but it takes time.
Here's something for perspective: Ten Hag has won more games in his first 100 games compared to Arteta and Klopp. He needs at least one more season, and he needs to be backed properly in the summer with some quality players - centre back, defensive midfielder, striker, and maybe a right back. To be realistic, the target for next season, is top 4 and a trophy. Once we get top 4, we'll be in the champions league, and we'll be able to attract better quality players. Then we can add one or two world class players, and then can get closer to the top 3, which Man city, Arsenal and Liverpool. Its a xliche, but it will take time to gradually build a squad that is capable of challenging for the league title. Remember, Arteta finished 8th in his first season, then finished 8th again in his second season, then finished 5th in his third season. It's a process.
Be patient and just give the man some time. He’s an elite manager who produced a beautiful brand of football at Ajax and made them compete with the best which hasn’t been seen for decades.
He is absolutely not an elite manager
Elite? What has he won?
Ok eics wife

I actually really like Ten Hag in this interview. Garry asking all the right questions of him as well. Brilliant interview.
This is the best interview I've seen from ETH. He's showing he understands the club now
Great interview, appreciate your questions Gary, appreciate his answers even more
Love this guy. First time I've been truly optimistic about United in awhile. Patience, people.
He should have been sacked after 7 :0 lost to our biggest rivals last season

Im not a football fan. Have never watched football. Never played. This video randomly popped on my feed. Props to this guy i listened to the whole interview.

This came randomly to my feed.

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Kudos to both for maintaining such high decorum , brilliant interview .
I'll back my manager to the last, 62+ injuries, a shite management, divas in dressing room, he has to deal with lot of things that he shouldn't have. And still we have a decent first season, took us to 3 cup finals, 1 trophy (hopefully another), I can understand that he should have been better in few scenarios, but with our new competent board and some luck with injuries, my manager will deliver. GGMU
100% he needs time he’s special
I didnt even want him to begin with & I 100% totally agree with you. Give him is last year at minimum.
@@shubhnegi0010Hes basically keeping the seat warm for Kieran Mckenna. Thats who united truly want. Thats who they are waiting for. He wont leave Ipswich until hes settled them into a competitive team in the premier league. 2-3 years. Then he will be off to united winning league titles and champions league trophies.
@@STSTu wish
@@theloner717 What do you mean I wish? I don't want him to leave Ipswich.
People just don't want to admit coming off the 1st season where we already had threadbare squad, but played the most matches in Europe, this clearly lead into a summer where we didn't have all our transfers done and an already overworked squad into this season, this has clearly lead to affect the availability of players this season. Not to mention he's had CR7, Greenwood, Sancho, Rashford issues to deal with. Not to forget too since he came in we had uncertainty with the Takeover of United to contend with. Dont forget we all our strikers and were down to Weghorst before we got Rasmus... Even with all of the above what has he done, Brought through Maino, Garnacho, and a few more youth talents, improved Rashy(last season), Dalot, AWB, 3 cup finals, 1 cup, remember this is only his 2nd season NO other Manager Klopp, PEP, Arteta have ever been judged after 2 seasons for me it shows the Media are against him.
Well said, I think it is astonishing that he still has his sanity! What a crazy period he has had to oversee, to me he has shown a great ability to cope with the pressures of this job. He has stayed calm and composed while showing he can be assertive. Of course there are questionable decisions in regard to tactics etc but nobody is perfect. Let's hope for better luck, a bit more planning and structure next year.
It’s partly Ten Hag’s fault though because he doesn’t rotate the team! Garnacho has started something like 30 consecutive games - watch him be burned out next season
@@astalavista_84the reason is and bare with me. The Sancho issue, the Amad injury, the Antony fitness and off field issues. Otherwise this would have been a development season for him
@@kevinfofana6565 don’t get me wrong, Garnacho should be starting the majority of games but not every game as he has since 1 Nov. Amad and Antony have both been available almost all of 2024.
Yes I agree somewhat, but with the massive pressure for results and the lack of options due to injuries and off field issues in those positions (amad, sancho and Anthony). This has to be taken into account when scrutinizing his decision making. I am sure given more options he would not have played these younger players quite so much. My hope is that these players can take the experience and push on next year 🤞 and don't show any negative effects. After all they want to play at the top level and if you are going to be successful there you have to be extremely resilient not just physically but mentally also. So in some ways it could help them going forward.
That was a great interview Gary, asked all the questions that have arisen with United fans over the past 12 months. Bravo 👏 Erik, Please beat City in Final. We owe them big time.
As much as Neville gets stick he really is made of the good stuff, a top fella!
Top class manager I salute you eric.he is literally doing what klopp did at Liverpool on his first two years.
😂😂😂😂
LOL. Klopp made it to the CL final in his third year. Ten Hag also? I think he loses in the group stage of the Conference League.
@@bartdoorn9635ten hag still hasnt made it to his third year, he could still get champions league spot next season
@@bartdoorn9635 And where would United have been without all those injuries? Its insane how many good players were injured. No manager can manage that amount of injury.
@@bartdoorn9635so your point is what. Ten hag has had less time. Klopp only won you one prem, in all his years and now he’s tired and bottled the league. Stay to your own club if you hate United that much
Ten hags best trait is his ability to promote youth. He’s building a great team for the future.
😂😂😂😂
The guys been there a year but he'll get the props for the likes of mainoo
@@ashwilliams4959got Maguires confidence back too
@@highdefinitionstanleytm9614 What's so funny
@@ashwilliams4959 why would he not get the props? He decided to bring Mainoo into the first team, he made that choice to trust him. Kobbie Mainoo is a name known because of Ten Hag giving him the chance to prove himself and trusting him, his success on the pitch is determined by his manager placing that faith into him.
Please we need more of this because now I understand his point of view a little more. Gary and Eric we need this more 🤩
This is best manager give time i love Manchester united
Give him next season under proper football ownership. If it doesn't work out then and we dont have a consistent style then we can move on from ETH. I believe he deserves next season to prove all the doubters wrong.
He said the core of the first team is good enough to compete. No clearout coming with this guy in charge just more bad signings to add to the dress pile
100%
@@neilthornton3544 The core being Bruno, Lisandro , Hojlund, Garnacho, Mainoo and Dalot? I think he's right. We need to build around this core next season and we can definitely compete for something. Give them 2 or 3 years and maybe a title might really be possible with a whole new supporting cast.
Just ship him back to the dutch league and pack Antony with him.
Imagine the players having to travel with him during pre-season. He needs to be GONE right after the final whistle of the FA Cup Final, no matter the result.
I have always backed ETH. He has had to deal with alot since coming in. Didnt get the players he wanted, but he still put his head down and did his best. This is the one guy who will give us stability without making it all about him. Fully behind ETH!
He got a couple of players he wanted, whats your next excuse?
Short-sighted much?
Manchester United needs to trust ETH. The result maybe aren’t what you want it to be, but he is transforming the whole organization in to something new and better. If he succeeds, the trophies and glory will return! They just need some structure.
His technical analysis is just too good!
Ten hag has smashed this interview left Neville speechless
😂 no he didn’t.
@@Michael_M991 so right......Gaz knows his stuff.
And now his telling the world Eth needs more time
Hes saying the current players arent good enough. Spot on!!
While the current squad is shite Erik himself isn't anywhere near good enough.
@@All-Outta-Bubblegumneither are you..
Rain he signed most of the current players. 380 million spent. Ten Haag told Gary Neville he needs 5 years to make United in to team that can challenge for the title. So 7 years, and how much cash, just to challenge? Who will spend their hard earned cash, and time, watching 5 more years of mediocrity under Ten Haag? See you in 5 years - NOT!
@@harrydestaffano565what manager can win the prem, champions league and fa cup in two years with utd then????
@@jonathanflores7951 Well Ten Haag says he needs 5 more years just to make United in to team that can challenge for the title. So 7 years, and how much cash, just to challenge? Will you really accept spending your hard earned cash and 5 more years of your life happily watching mediocrity under Ten Haag? As a season ticket holder for more than 50 years I have seen some ups and some downs with United. No United manager in all those years ever said he needed 5 years to make United challengers. 5 years no, 5 more games, maybe! Tuchel is going to be available. Changes are coming at United and Ten Haag is odds on not to last past the cup final, which I hope United win.
Thank you Gary ❤, we the fans have to be patience
West Ham fan here. I wholeheartedly believe that ten Hag can emulate what we did by winning the conference league in the next few years. 🎉
Good banter
funny when that’s your biggest trophy
@@jackstevens7806 actually a Liverpool fan. ;)
Ten hag in. There’s no other manager out there to get it and even if there was stick with him, it’s a process like Arsenal. You will go through highs and lows, but with the new regime let’s see if they help him in the summer
@@BoxingB0odadid you watch the interview or you just decide to be very stupid ?
Paid comment. Political agenda.
Thank you Gary for asking the questions those journalists never ask!!
Erik is the man. live him . hard season but im fully behind him
Can only respect someone who watches them play soo bad and yet see soo many positives
I think he should get one more year. A year without drama, excessive injuries, and (hopefully) sensible owners
Atleast December
He probably will as it will cost 15 million to sack him and his coaches
if he wins FA cup he stays.
Even 3 years
Key is to keep this man & give him quality squad depth. This interview was needed earlier in the season...it explains alot & in fairness i see his point of view about not changing the proactive approach. He explained if he changed it to more defensive, 1. The game model (agreed with the club), would not be adhered to & 2. If he changed & when the players return then its more difficult to change back to the more proactive way. The game model he refers to is essentially the ineos driven idea & so ultimately he is saying he has no choice but to keep to those principles...if he changed & still got bad results, he is effectively saying ineos would have every reason to fire him. I think he accepts the defensive instability has lead to so many shots on our goal & also accepts because he hasnt gotten the 'finished articles' in key positions - CDM, CM, ST, CB that it takes longer to develop the younger players & build confidence & buy in to the way of play. I think give him at least the next season & give him quality squad depth....& with luck in terms of injuries we should be more of a team. Certainly we wont challenge for the title but performance wise i think it will be more consistently successful. I felt it refreshing & honest to name players like Kane & FDJ...very rarely do mgrs talk abt specific players from outside...but its refreshing to know he is clear that he wants those finished articles but because the club has financial constraints then he has to accept a longer process & develop more inexperienced players like Hojlund etc to get them to those levels. The issue really is whether Ineos will back him...we know they wont buy the Mbappes, Osihimens etc but the need to give ETH the players with the right mentality & characteristics that can be developed.
I'm really glad he got to do this interview. I really would like to have a season with the proper structure in place. I'm still not convinced about the on field tactics and performance, but the fact that he was unwilling to shift the blame the club and said he needed to take responsibility actually increased my faith in him. He knows it hasn't been good enough, even accounting for the injuries. Give him another season
Best interview sky has done so far. Eric is my manager. United will be just fine
