David Moyes, the former boss of Manchester United, has expressed his support for Erik ten Hag. According to Moyes, Ten Hag has displayed remarkable resilience at Manchester United and is doing an excellent job despite the criticism he has been receiving.
Currently, United is placed in 14th position in the Premier League, which is their worst start to a season ever. This has led to speculations that Ten Hag might be sacked from his position at Old Trafford. Last season, Ten Hag was on the verge of being dismissed, but he was able to earn a new contract by leading the team to an unexpected victory against Manchester City in the FA Cup final.
However, there were rumors that INEOS, the club's owners, were in talks with several potential managers before deciding to stick with Ten Hag. Names like Gareth Southgate, Graham Potter, Kieran McKenna, and Massimiliano Allegri were all linked with the club. Recently, reports have emerged that former Chelsea and Bayern Munich coach Thomas Tuchel is the frontrunner to replace Ten Hag, and he is open to the idea.
Moyes, who was previously the manager of Manchester United, understands the pressure that comes with the job at Old Trafford. He was dismissed just ten months into his tenure after taking over from Sir Alex Ferguson. Moyes sympathizes with Ten Hag's current situation and believes he deserves credit for how well he has handled himself. In an interview with BBC Sport, Moyes said, "I think he's doing a brilliant job. I think he's shown brilliant resilience in the situation that he's in, and I think he should be credited for how well he's conducted himself."
Moyes also praised Ten Hag for not avoiding any questions or media interviews, despite the immense pressure he is facing from all directions. "I think you have to give him great credit for that, but it's a job that is going to attract immense pressure, people talking, so I have to say that I think he's doing a brilliant job," Moyes added.
According to reports, United's hierarchy is considering hiring Tuchel as the new manager. After the team's goalless draw with Aston Villa on Sunday, Ten Hag stated that he still has the support of the club's owners. He said, "We are all on board together, on one page. We know what we are working through is a long-term process." Ten Hag also mentioned that he communicates with the owners regularly and expects to speak with them after the game.
In conclusion, Moyes believes that Ten Hag is doing an excellent job at Manchester United, despite the team's poor performance. He also praises Ten Hag's resilience and ability to handle the pressure that comes with managing a top club like Manchester United.
