On November 8, Beijing time, former Manchester United manager David Moyes spoke out in defense of the sacked Erik ten Hag, stating that Ten Hag has become a scapegoat for Manchester United’s poor performance.
Moyes said, “I believe that the players at Manchester United lack the courage to take responsibility for their own shortcomings. Instead, they hide behind the manager, letting him bear the blame and criticism for failures. I would prefer to see the players step up and take responsibility, admitting that they did not perform well enough. In reality, Manchester United has many talented players, but the results have not been satisfactory.”
This season, Manchester United continues to show a declining trend. Currently, they are in 13th place in the league with 3 wins, 3 draws, and 4 losses, accumulating 12 points. After losing 1-2 to West Ham away in the 9th round, Ten Hag was dismissed. Subsequently, Van Nistelrooy took over as interim manager and achieved 2 wins and 1 draw in 3 matches. After the international break in November, Amorim will take charge as the new permanent manager of Manchester United.
