Erik ten Hag faces intense pressure to revive Manchester United after their worst season despite past success at Ajax.
In football when things fail to go according to plan and a team registers lacklustre performances, a lot of people can be held accountable. The fans are normally the frontliners when it come to a demand for results and accountability.
The fans start to air out what they think could be the problem . Sometimes it is the owners for not properly running the club, sometimes it’s the players but most times, the managers are the ones who get stoned most.

A good example is Erik ten hag. After he replaced Ralf Ragnick in 2022 for the top job, most people especially united fans were sure that they would be title contenders but as the season went on, these hopes were deflated as they went to register the worst season in their history.
Considering ten hag’s success at Ajax, coming to united after steering ajax to their second consecutive domestic title under his watch, much was expected from him to mirror that at United.

Sofapaka coach earmarks exciting winger to shine for Harambee Stars in future
Sofapaka coach Ezekiel Akwana has heaped praise on the former Kibera Black Stars who once trained with Scottish giants Rangers, revealing why Kenya may have the next-big thing on their hands.

United now having decoded to retain ten hag, will be hoping that he brings the glory back to United as they march on! On! On!
