According to The Guardian, Manchester United manager Jens Ten Hag is facing a tough test from the club's top management. With United's record of just one win and two losses before the international break, concerns have arisen within the club about Ten Hagar's coaching style and the team's performance. The United soccer department of the Inrix Group, led by Ratcliffe, Ashworth and Wilcox, is scrutinizing Ten Hagar's style of play, especially Wilcox, whose main responsibility is to focus on the first team's style of play.
Ten Hagar is currently facing a double challenge: on one hand, he needs to overcome the impact of injury problems on the team's formation and integrate the five new recruits into the team as soon as possible; on the other hand, he also needs to prove to the club's senior management that his tactics can lead United to victory, showing the ability to dominate the game and suppress the opponents. However, United's recent matches have exposed the fragility of their midfield and backfield, especially in the 0-3 loss to Liverpool, where the team's overall performance was even more lackluster.
Despite the likes of Ashworth and Berrada voicing their support for Ten Hagar in recent times, concerns within the club have not dissipated. Ten Hagar needs to quickly adjust his tactics to improve the team's competitiveness or he could risk being dropped. After all, after the Inglis Group took over Manchester United, they have higher expectations and demands for the team's results and performance.
For Ten Hagar, the next game will be crucial. He needs to prove his coaching ability in the limited time available and lead United out of the doldrums and back to the ranks of the Premier League giants. This is not only a test of his personal ability, but also an important test of United's future investment and development.
