Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag has dismissed the ‘fairytales, lies and noise’ around his position at the club in a recent press conference. The Dutchman, who has faced a lot of criticism after a poor run of form at the start of the new season, has said that the media has painted a wrong picture of the club. United are currently 14th in the Premier League, having won only twice in seven games, and are going to play Brentford this weekend.
Before Saturday’s match, Ten Hag was in a combative tone, when he warned everyone that Manchester United is still united and determined to change the situation around.” The noise is only coming from some of you in the media,” he said to the assembled reporters before the match. ‘You are building stories, fairytales, and telling lies’. We always want to be better than the position we have on that table; however, externally, there is no excessive noise, no emotions. We remain loyal to it and are confident that it will work.”
However, the going has not been easy for Ten Hag, who has stuck to a long-term vision for the team, insisting that the team is on an upward trajectory. ‘We have to climb a mountain,’ he agreed. But I see good things and stats that show we are going in the right direction. The ranking may not be good enough right now, but I am sure we will get it to where we want it to be.”
There have been so many injuries in United’s early season and many players have been out of action. Up to seven players could be missing during the Brentford match according to the words of Ten Hag. There are a few omissions, including Kobbie Mainoo and Harry Maguire, but Noussair Mazraoui is back. Also, as for the injuries, both Luke Shaw and Tyrell Malacia are still sidelined, and the manager once again underlined how delicate the situation with their return is. “We have a problem with left-backs, but we can’t wait for them to come back,” he said.
Upon being asked for his opinion on Thomas Tuchel, who has recently been appointed as the new England team manager, Ten Hag had only good things to say. ‘It is a very good selection coming from the FA.’ He is a class manager and deserves to be one, he has shown that. He can compete for the big championships with England’s world-class players.
