Ten Hag is a part of the problem but the players have a lot to answer as well!
Where the problem is with Manchester United? Erik ten Hag seems to be in the middle of the storm but anymore but you need to remember before people jump to conclusions that those players underperform and it seems like a pattern: the club have had several managers now, spent over £1b, and yet it’s the same outcome since Sir Alex left!

Luis Van Gaal Jose Mourinho Ole Gunnar Solskjaer and even Ragnick spoke about wrong attitude! Now is Ten Hag’ s turn after one good season and then the players turn off. How does the club get the players to see they are not bigger than the club in the modern game?It is not easy.
Eth won a trophy last year and finished 3rd. He did what he was asked to do while working under budgetary constraints due to years of mismanagement. The club has signed 4 players on loan in the last two windows. No other “big club” in Europe has resorted to that.
Erik Ten Hag won a trophy last year and finished 3rd. He did what he was asked to do while working under some constraints due to years of mismanagement. The club has signed 4 players on loan in the last two windows. No other “big club” in Europe has resorted to that. He is not free of blame but he has not been the only responsible for the fall!
The truth is many of the current players have proven they're not good enough under multiple regimes, yet they're still there and still starting games. There were only two permanent signings of the Dutch manager who started today. No manager can make these players good enough for Manchester United and he is not a miracle worker.
Yes, many unwanted milestones had happened under his watch so far but more or less point wise he is there or there about like last year!
- Bournemouth had never won at Old Trafford, Until Erik Ten Hag
Bournemouth had never scored 3 goals at Old Trafford and had never won there before,
Manchester United had never lost 7 of the opening 16 PL games, hadn't lost back to back league games against Newcastle since 1972
and hadn't lost 3 games in a row to Newcastle United since 1922 and no English team in CL history had ever conceded 14 goals in the first 5 CL group games, until this season.
Manchester United had never dropped this many points from a winning position in Chanpions League history, until now and hadn't lost 9 of the opening 17 games in all competitions since 1962 but to think that for all that there is one culpable and changing the manager suddenly the team will turn to world beaters is a naive thought!
Manchester United is going through a very difficult period but not all of the problems can be solved by sacking the manager once more. The players have a lot to answer for all those unwanted records as well!
