Manchester United fans have called for the dismissal of manager Erik ten Hag after a 3-0 loss to Tottenham Hotspur, further complicating the club’s difficult start to the season. The match got off to a disastrous start for United, with Tottenham taking the lead early on. Brennan Johnson scored within just three minutes from a Mickey van de Ven cross, putting the Red Devils on the back foot and frustrating their fans from the outset.
Things only got worse for United as the match progressed. Captain Bruno Fernandes was shown a red card for kicking out at James Maddison, reducing United to ten men and leaving them vulnerable.
Throughout the first half, United struggled to match the intensity of their opponents, and frustration among fans grew both in the stadium and online.
Tottenham maintained control after the break, and their dominance was evident when Dejan Kulusevski scored a second goal shortly after the restart, doubling Spurs’ lead. With the match slipping away, Manchester United supporters began to call for ten Hag’s sacking, especially after Dominic Solanke added a third goal to put the game out of reach. By this point, many fans had already left the stadium, and social media was flooded with expressions of dissatisfaction.
Online, United supporters heavily criticized ten Hag for his apparent lack of a clear tactical plan, as well as the decline in performance of key players. Fans voiced their demands for a more aggressive and organized style of play, blaming ten Hag for the team’s regression.
Football pundit Gary Neville joined in the criticism, describing United’s first-half display as one of the worst under ten Hag’s tenure. He pointed out Fernandes’ reckless red card and Rashford’s errors as key factors in United’s dismal showing, further intensifying the pressure on the manager following another poor result. The calls for change have only grown louder, as United’s early season struggles continue under ten Hag’s leadership.
