Manchester United supporters vocally called for Erik ten Hag’s removal during their 3-0 loss to Tottenham.
The team suffered a poor first half, with Brennan Johnson scoring from a Mickey van de Ven assist just three minutes in.
Things worsened when Bruno Fernandes received a red card for a reckless tackle on James Maddison.
Spurs maintained their dominance in the second half, with Dejan Kulusevski adding to United’s troubles early on, prompting away fans to chant, “You’re getting sacked in the morning” at Ten Hag.
Dominic Solanke later scored the third goal, solidifying Tottenham’s control in a match where they achieved the highest xG (4.67) by any visiting team in Premier League history at Old Trafford.
Before the second half began, some United fans had already expressed their anger towards Ten Hag, demanding his firing.
One fan remarked, “We’re constantly being outmatched on the pitch. We need a coach who embraces the darker aspects of the game. Ten Hag OUT!”
Another supporter claimed, “He gets the players he wants but lacks a clear game plan. He complicates simple matches and makes good players look poor. It’s all talk and player exclusion. Ten Hag must go.”
Another criticized the team’s lack of organization, stating, “They’re running around aimlessly. They don’t know their roles. It’s time for him to leave.”
One fan raised doubts about Ten Hag’s ability to improve the situation at Old Trafford, asking, “When do we say enough is enough? If you still support him, how is he expected to fix this?”
Gary Neville harshly condemned United’s first-half performance, labeling it “disgraceful” and one of the worst under Ten Hag, particularly criticizing Marcus Rashford and Bruno Fernandes.
Regarding Fernandes, Neville remarked, “When players react like that, something is off. He went knee-high on Maddison. Even if he slipped, he won’t escape punishment.”
After the match, Neville reiterated his criticism, calling the first half “disgusting” in terms of effort and quality, suggesting both players and manager would face serious scrutiny in the following week.
Former United winger Ashley Young also expressed disappointment post-match, stating, “Manchester United showed no commitment. There was no effort, no leadership, and the team was disjointed, with individuals out of sync. No one took charge.”
He highlighted Tottenham’s comfort, saying, “It felt like Spurs were the home side. United fans have every reason to be upset.”
Jamie Redknapp voiced similar concerns, describing it as “so easy” for Spurs and noting United’s regression under Ten Hag. He concluded, “There are no more excuses. He has his players and defense. They’re at rock bottom, and I’ve never seen a United side this poor. It’s shameful for a club of their caliber to be outperformed like this.”
