In the post-Ferguson era, after 4 official managers, Manchester United's rebuilding is still returning to the original point in a back-and-forth process. This summer, the fifth official manager took office. For the future of Tenhag, there are still expectations from the outside world, but more is the worry. Dutch star Nigel De Jong holds a similar view, he believes that There are too many negative factors for Manchester United.
"Are you optimistic about Manchester United's coaching prospects?" The reporter first threw the question to Nigel De Jong, who replied: "Although I expect him to succeed, as we often say, the red devils manager's reputation will always become darker rather than louder, and there are a lot of negative factors there, which have to do with the position of Manchester United today, the situation of the team and the chaos created on the sidelines. ”
I have to say that Nigel De Jong is still very transparent about Manchester United's problems. As we have often said before, Manchester United's "water is very deep", and the main factor causing this situation is the 3 points that the star said.
The first is the location. Manchester United are currently struggling to enter the top 4, or even the top 6 are a bit hanging, which is far from the expectations of the outside world for Manchester United.
This expectation mainly comes from 2 aspects, on the one hand, the team's glorious history, they are the greatest team in the Premier League era, they have won 13 Premier League titles and achieved 2 trebles; on the other hand, the team's huge investment, after the Ferguson era, Manchester United has invested 1.2 billion pounds to strengthen, but the effect is messed up.
As long as United don't get back where they should be, that pressure will always be there, and that's the root of it all.
The second is where the team is today. The situation for the team is complex, from the players to the management. Many players don't seem to be thinking about the pitch, management's primary goal is not athletics, but economy, so United feel distracted and inconsistent.
The other is the chaos created off the field. This confusion mainly comes from celebrities and the media, which are represented by Scholes, Gary Neville, Leo Ferdinand, Roy Keane and others. When these celebrities are interviewed or guest shows, they always like to point fingers at the team, accuse and even scold the head coach and players. Then, after the media fanned the flames, it created a rather bad public opinion atmosphere for the team.
So what is the most important factor in Tenhag's success at Manchester United? Nigel De Jong's point is to the point, that is, the right to speak!
United's top brass is really obsessed, they have chosen a manager to lead the team to complete the reconstruction, but they do not give the manager enough voice, and like to interfere in the manager's reconstruction work and force them to plug players they don't want. It not only causes a waste of funds, but also easily leads to contradictions within the team.
Fortunately, United's top brass is already aware of this. Over the past period, United have overhauled their reinforcements team, leaving with chief scouts, global scouting representatives and head of negotiations, before trying to hire Monaco director Mitchell for key positions. And in terms of reinforcements, Tenhag has the ultimate veto. With this most important power, Tenhag's coaching prospects are actually something to look forward to.
