Manchester United fans are all saying the same thing as the have spotted a trend that keeps costing them, they think Erik Ten Hag is to blame

Manchester United supporters have voiced concerns over what they perceive as a troubling trend that they believe is affecting their team’s performance, and their scrutiny is directed towards manager Erik ten Hag.In the recent FA Cup semi-final clash against Coventry City, Manchester United initially appeared to be on course for a comfortable victory as they held a commanding 3-0 lead. However, a remarkable comeback from Coventry turned the tide, pushing the match into extra time. The turning point came when Ellis Simms netted a goal for Coventry, swiftly followed by Callum O’Hare’s deflected strike, narrowing the deficit to just one goal.The match took a dramatic turn when United’s passive play in the dying minutes resulted in a penalty awarded to Coventry in the 95th minute, leading to a dramatic equalizer by Haji Wright and forcing the game into extra time. Although Coventry celebrated what they believed to be a match-winning goal by Victor Torp in the 121st minute, VAR intervened and ruled it offside, leading to further drama and suspense.Ultimately, Manchester United secured victory in the penalty shootout with a 4-2 scoreline, but the manner of their collapse in the final minutes left their fans bewildered and questioning the decisions made by manager Erik ten Hag.One particular decision that drew criticism was the substitution of winger Alejandro Garnacho in the 66th minute when United was comfortably leading 3-0. This substitution raised eyebrows among fans, especially considering that it was the third time within a month that Garnacho had been withdrawn from a match while United held a lead.The previous instances included substitutions against Chelsea, which resulted in a late comeback win for Chelsea, and against Liverpool, ending in a draw. On social media platforms, frustrated Manchester United fans expressed their disappointment and confusion over Ten Hag’s repeated decision to substitute Garnacho, labeling it as “an absolute joke” and questioning Ten Hag’s reluctance to make substitutions with other players, such as Marcus Rashford.Despite Garnacho’s inconsistent performances, he has been a bright spot for Manchester United this season, contributing significantly with nine goals and four assists in 42 appearances across all competitions. His impact on the team’s attacking dynamics and goal-scoring threat has not gone unnoticed, making Ten Hag’s decision to withdraw him in crucial moments a point of contention among supporters.The match against Coventry City highlighted both the strengths and weaknesses of Manchester United under Ten Hag’s management, leading to discussions and debates among fans regarding the team’s tactical approach, player substitutions, and overall game management. These discussions reflect the passionate and deeply invested nature of Manchester United’s fanbase, who hold high expectations for their team’s success and performance on the field.
