Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag came out swinging against his critics today, denouncing what he called “fairytales and lies” about his future at Old Trafford, despite overseeing the club’s worst Premier League start in history.
United’s Troubling Numbers
- Just 8 points from 7 matches
- Currently sitting 14th in the Premier League
- Worst start to a Premier League season in club history
“The Noise is From You”
The defiant Dutchman showed no signs of backing down during a heated pre-match press conference, directly challenging journalists who had predicted his dismissal during the international break.
“The noise is only coming from some of you,” Ten Hag stated firmly. “Creating stories and fairytales, bringing lies. Some journalists didn’t believe me. I saw the reports.”
Climbing the Mountain
Despite the pressure, Ten Hag remains convinced of his project’s eventual success: “We have to climb a mountain, but that’s top football. Sometimes you have to face challenges, but I’m sure we will make a success, just like we did in the last two seasons.”
