‘He needs to leave my Club with immediate effect I don’t want to See him in Old Trafford Sir Jim Ratcliffe has Sack Erik Ten Hag this evening after a shocking defeat to West Ham
Manchester United lost 2-1 at West Ham on Sunday.
United were aiming to get back on track after drawing 1-1 with Fenerbahce in the Europa League on Thursday evening, and they made a strong start against West Ham.
Erik ten Hag’s team dominated the first half, creating many opportunities, and Diogo Dalot made the season’s mistake by taking the ball past Lukasz Fabianski.
Dalot failed to score despite having the goal at his disposal, and the game ended goalless at halftime. When play started for the second half, the home team improved and grabbed the lead in the 73rd minute, but Casemiro equalised with a header less than ten minutes later.
With United level, they had the chance to go for the victory, but it was West Ham who struck next after being given a highly dubious penalty.
Recap what occurred during the match here.
Angry outbursts on touchline and in stands cannot hide the facts.
Even against a team with a defeatist attitude, Manchester United were beaten.
Despite being booed at halftime, West Ham managed to defeat United. They are no longer the coup they were.
United are unlikely to let this go. The circumstances surrounding West Ham’s winning penalty kick – a collision involving Matthijs de Ligt and Danny Ings, a late intervention by Video Assistant official Michael Oliver, and an inconclusive review by the on-field official – will linger for days.
The event was shown on big screens in the London Stadium, sending United fans into a frenzy. Darren Fletcher stood up in the press box. Erik ten Hag, Ruud van Nistelrooy, and Rene Hake encircled the fourth official as the players continued to question its legality.
De Ligt and Andre Onana suggested there was a handball. Whether there was or not is irrelevant. In cricket, referees should use the ‘umpire’s call’ provision. The case for VAR was, at best, shaky. Nonetheless, the overrated Oliver oversaw it.
The contest reached the 100-minute mark. There was an addition of twelve minutes. Van Nistelrooy played the role of ballboy. Ten Hag mimicked Sir Alex Ferguson by tapping his wristwatch. Time then ran out.
