Manchester United boss Erik ten Hag 바카라can바카라t be bothered바카라 with criticism of the job he is doing at Old Trafford and claims he has only been able to pick his strongest team once in 18 months. (More Football News)
The Dutchman delivered an encouraging first season, winning the League Cup and finishing in the top four, but this campaign has been far more difficult.
They were knocked out of the Champions League at the group stage and are in a battle to finish in the top six in the Premier League, with his position coming under scrutiny following Sir Jim Ratcliffe바카라s minority purchase and takeover of the football operations.
United can salvage their season by winning the FA Cup and they aim to reach a second successive final when they host Championship Coventry on Sunday.
Ten Hag insists he shuts out the noise when it comes to speculation on his future.
바카라I don바카라t put energy into this, if I바카라m judged fairly or not,바카라 he said. 바카라I know what we are doing here, why I바카라m here, to bring trophies, to also create economic value, so we are working on those and in a process you have setbacks.
바카라I look at this and can see it realistically, so I see the nuance, some comments miss that, but I can바카라t be bothered about it, can바카라t go into emotions.
바카라I see it realistic, rationale, and I바카라m only focussing on my team, to improve the team and individuals. That바카라s what I바카라m here for.바카라
United have had injury problems to deal with and the Dutchman says the home win over Manchester City last year was the only time he had a full squad to choose from.
바카라I don바카라t have any concern about what is said on the outside,바카라 he said. 바카라What concerns me is that in 18 months I have never had my favourite team on the pitch in 18 months.
바카라That concerns me. Because the players are injured. One time (I could pick my strongest XI) was against City last season in the home game.
바카라That was the only time where we had a full squad, where I can pick my team and in all the other games there was always an injury aspect where we have to deal with.
바카라That is normal in football but not so many as we have had. And I know when we have so many injuries as we have had and on crucial key positions, you can바카라t deliver the results you want to bring and that is OK.
바카라But that is my truth. And others can have a different truth. But I can바카라t put energy in that.바카라
The man in the opposite dugout should provide a timely reminder to Ten Hag that fortunes in football can change in an instant.
Sky Blues boss Mark Robins is widely acknowledged to be the man who saved Sir Alex Ferguson바카라s job in 1990 when his third-round goal against Nottingham Forest ended a run of 11 games without a win.
United went on to win the FA Cup that year and the rest is history.
바카라Yes, I know (the story). In football, it바카라s sometimes like this, that a shot on the post or in the net makes a huge difference,바카라 Ten Hag said.
바카라See 1966, eh? Only one time but it made them (England) world champions.바카라
