Manchester United Fans Slam Erik Ten Hag for Ruling Out Title Race Next Season

Despite a significant 24-point gap behind current leaders Arsenal, Ten Hag's remarks have sparked outrage among supporters, 

Fans have taken to social media to express their frustration over the team's underwhelming performance this season.

Speaking about the team's prospects, Ten Hag stated, as reported by the Sun, "This year we stand still but I think when everyone is available definitely we are competing for the top four. I’m confident of that. Although I have to say there are some teams."

"It is not anymore just a two-horse or three-horse race in the Premier League, there is Villa, there is Spurs, there is Newcastle. So many good teams - six or seven teams who all can compete. Chelsea - don’t forget them."

The manager's admission that Manchester United is not currently in a position to compete for the top spots did not sit well with many fans, who took to social media to express their disappointment and frustration.

One fan expressed their frustration on X, stating, "It will be 3 years and about 600 million spent just for us to go backwards." 

Another fan voiced their discontent, saying, "Next season hasn't even started and he's already given up on it."

Others pointed fingers at the team's signings and management, with one fan remarking, "That's down to your signings and management." 

Amidst the criticism, some fans accused the manager of "writing off next season" prematurely, despite overseeing a season without any trophies and disappointing results.
