Erik ten Hag’s Calm Message to “Frustrated” Man Utd Squad

Ten Hag searches for positives among the unhappy dressing room scene.

Following Manchester United’s 3-0 defeat to Tottenham, manager Erik ten Hag handled his players in an unusual manner. Ten Hag decided to keep calm instead of criticizing the team for their performance, concentrating on the positives and developments in the second half especially in relation to Bruno Fernandes’s red card.

After the game, players clearly aware of their terrible performance seemed to be crowded in the dressing room, frustrated. Ten Hag’s calm answer, however, sought to refocus the attention on development and advancement by stressing areas of need for improvement and preserving a good attitude in face of a negative outcome.

Club’s Greater Sense of Calm in Face of Unfactory Performance

The composed manner of the Dutch manager captures the general attitude in Manchester United’s leadership. Particularly for a squad rebuilding, there is patience and an awareness that adjustments take time even if back-to-back terrible results demand. Ten Hag has apparently been assigned two more games to help the team get back on track, with hope that regular development would follow as the team adjusts to his approach and strategies.

Ten Hag aims to transform the team’s performance and rebuild players’ confidence, so Manchester United will try to recover in next games.
