Manchester United manager, Erik ten Hag has come out to say that people advised him not to join the club in 2022. He recently had his say while speaking to the press, and fans have been reacting.
According to him, due to the club’s dwindling conditions at the time, many advised him to go for other projects with better conditions and structures, but he chose MUFC eventually because he loves a challenge.
Erik added that he feels like Manchester United is his club and he wants to succeed with the team.
His words, “So many people advised me not to come here. I could have gone into projects with better conditions, with much better structures but I chose this challenge because I feel like Manchester United is my club and I want to go for this challenge.”
On if he believes the owners back him, “It’s helpful when you feel the backing from the leadership group. That helps because then you know where you’re building to, that you do it together.
When you are in a very good, very strong bond that gives you confidence. Also the dressing room, they will feel this.”
WOW.
Manchester United Football Club, commonly referred to as Man United or simply United, is a professional football club based in Old Trafford, Greater Manchester, England. The club competes in the Premier League, the top division in the English football league system.
Nicknamed the Red Devils, they were founded as Newton Heath LYR Football Club in 1878, but changed their name to Manchester United in 1902. After a spell playing in Clayton, Manchester, the club moved to their current stadium, Old Trafford, in 1910.
Alex Ferguson and his assistant Archie Knox arrived from Aberdeen on the day of Atkinson’s dismissal, and guided the club to an 11th-place finish in the league. Despite a second-place finish in 1987–88, the club was back in 11th place the following season. Reportedly on the verge of being dismissed, Ferguson’s job was saved by victory over Crystal Palace in the 1990 FA Cup final.
The following season, Manchester United claimed their first UEFA Cup Winners’ Cup title. That triumph allowed the club to compete in the European Super Cup for the first time, where United beat European Cup holders Red Star Belgrade 1–0 at Old Trafford. The club appeared in two consecutive League Cup finals in 1991 and 1992, beating Nottingham Forest 1–0 in the second to win that competition for the first time as well.
