He had a good year, he\u2019s bought a little time in that respect, he\u2019s had bad injuries, but nine defeats in 17 games is not good enough.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/11\/08\/23\/77579653-0-image-a-75_1699484543912.jpg\" height=\"423\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>Erik ten Hag watched his Man United team slump to a ninth defeat in 17 games after a spectacular capitulation against Copenhagen\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/11\/08\/23\/77579699-0-image-a-76_1699484574419.jpg\" height=\"431\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>Rio Ferdinand believes that United have to stick by their manager despite the struggles<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/11\/08\/23\/77575301-0-image-a-77_1699484600038.jpg\" height=\"357\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>Paul Scholes said he had &#8216;bought time&#8217; after last season and has been unlucky with injuries<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/11\/08\/23\/77575297-0-image-a-78_1699484634302.jpg\" height=\"357\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>Owen Hargreaves felt they played some &#8216;good football&#8217; against Copenhagen and that consistently sacking managers &#8216;is not the solution&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>Your browser does not support iframes.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;I know managers have been sacked in that second or third year. I don\u2019t think we can afford to do it anymore. I think we\u2019ve got to let this fella go with it. I think he\u2019s been good up to this point.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;He\u2019s got a bit unlucky tonight with the sending-off. They\u2019re going to play better teams than Copenhagen but I thought there was a little bit of fight there tonight, just lacking leadership. Maybe if Casemiro was in there things might be different.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;Just a little bit of discipline and lack of concentration [was lacking]. Tiredness does affect your concentration. Dalot lost concentration and the next goal was a mistake. It\u2019s just that collapsing, it\u2019s hurting them at the moment. Once they concede one it seems like the second one is coming and they can\u2019t win games if that\u2019s going to happen every week.<\/p>\n<p>Hargreaves added: &#8216;No [pressure on Ten Hag]. For 20, 30 minutes, considering the pressure they were under, they played some good football, tried to play out from the back, the spacing was better.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;Nine losses in 17 games, they\u2019re not good numbers. But they\u2019ve got to stick by him. Keeping sacking managers is not the solution here.&#8217;<\/p>\n<h3>IT&#8217;S ALL KICKING OFF!\u00a0<\/h3>\n<p><span><span>It&#8217;s All Kicking Off is an exciting new podcast from Mail Sport that promises a different take on Premier League football.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span><span>It is available on MailOnline, Mail+, YouTube, Apple Music and Spotify.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p>Your browser does not support iframes.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/i\/pix\/2017\/08\/02\/636x90_facebook_ad_sport.png\" width=\"636\" height=\"90\"><br \/>\nSource: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailymail.co.uk\/sport\/football\/article-12727557\/Man-United-stick-Erik-ten-Hag-says-Rio-Ferdinand-clubs-4-3-defeat-Copenhagen-Champions-League-Paul-Scholes-Owen-Hargreaves-agreeing.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read Full Article<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Man United &#8216;HAVE to stick&#8217;
