Britain's "Daily Mirror" reported that after just two rounds of coaching Manchester United, the 52-year-old Dutch coach Tenhag has become furious about the club's signing deal and believes that he has become a victim (hung out to dry) and become a scapegoat for defeat.
Tenhag was well received in the early days of his tenure, winning consecutive victories in warm-up matches, making Manchester United fans once again think that the dawn will come. However, with the advancement of the warm-up match, the performance of the Red Devils gradually declined, and after the official start of the league, it even suffered the second consecutive defeat since the premier league was founded in 1992, and the ranking was temporarily at the bottom.
For Tenhag, not only on the pitch, but also on the sidelines, there was a disastrous start, and he couldn't get the players he wanted. The Mirror revealed that Tenghag and his agents were outraged by United's performance in the transfer market and the club's approach to Ronaldo's transfer issues, both of which were believed to have distracted the team.
United have so far only signed Dutch full-back Terrell Marcia, Argentine centre-back Lisandro Martinez and midfielder Eriksen, who has joined on a free transfer. Tenhag's first target was Barca's Frankie De Jong, who also played the first round of La Liga at Camp Nou.
British media disclosed that manchester United's board of directors had promised Tenhag that five new signings could be brought in this summer, but the transfer window would be closed on September 1, leaving little time for the Red Devils. Not only that, but the players he ends up getting are not a priority goal. Juventus back Rabio, Stuttgart center Karachik and others are very low-ranking candidates in Tenhag's introduction list.
Players associated with Manchester United were also boycotted by fans, with Red Devils fans strongly opposed, with United abandoning plans to bring in Bologna's Arnautovic. Anau has been involved in racist incidents and has a bad reputation on and off the pitch.
Similarly, fans are worried about Rabio, especially his troublesome agent mother, Veronica. Manchester United signed a deal for the French back for 15 million, which is currently in a stalemate because of the high wage requirements of his mother, and Manchester United will negotiate with him again on Monday.
In addition, Manchester United is also ineffective in purging players, C Ronaldo has long expressed his intention to leave, so far, the club has not completely resolved the matter, neither persuading him to stay nor allowing him to leave.
The lack of planning for United's signings, combined with disappointing results, has led to a growing fan outrage against the owner's Glazer family. They expressed their displeasure with Glazer at home in Brentford, asking them to get out of the way, and spectators are expected to take more action to show their position at the next round of the home double reds against Liverpool.
Manchester United star Leo Ferdinand sympathized with manager Tenhag, believing that he had been "tricked" into coaching manchester United, and the culprit was the Glazer family. 'I don't feel sorry for the Manchester United players, but I sympathize with Tenhag. Ferdinand said: "He was tricked into coming to Manchester United under false pretenses and he was expecting new signings to arrive. Now, he's sitting on the sidelines, probably thinking, 'I was deceived, I didn't expect it to be like this.'" It's not hard to imagine that confidence has fallen to a low point."
Ferdinand analysed: "Tenhag knew the situation of Manchester United, but he thought he had a chance to rebuild. But the players clearly didn't meet the standards he demanded, it was as simple as that. Some players don't want to face reality and don't like to be told. That's the truth, and Saigo tells you the truth."
"This is not the end of a month or two of problems, but the epitome of long-term accumulation of problems." United have had enough time to get their form back, even if they lost form. But it's impossible to show yourself now."
United's legendary centre-back admits that players sometimes make excuses to escape the harsh realities. "You can't shell your teammates or anyone else in a club, but you can't defend that!" The current situation is speechless, it is terrible. Although only two rounds have been played this season, it has lasted a long time, coupled with the downturn at the end of last season. So we can't say we've only played two games, don't panic." Ferdinand added, "I don't blame Tenhag right now, his use of people and tactics may be debatable, but United are bigger problems than that."
Ferdinand also shelled the boss Glazer: "Where is the Glazer family?" They don't respect the club. It's not an ordinary business, it's Manchester United, a football club with a long history, with its own distinctive character, but they don't communicate with the fans, they don't communicate with other people. I think they need to come to the club and take responsibility. What happens at United, they are the roots, for better or worse. Now, we are not only losing, but we are completely defeated. We're embarrassed, and no one is taking responsibility."
