Manchester United’s loss to Chelsea has increased concerns about Erik ten Hag’s future with the club. United appeared to be on track for a victory before a penalty was conceded in stoppage time, resulting in a 3-3 draw. Palmer achieved an incredible hat-trick by scoring another goal shortly after. The player from England, who was not being directly marked by any opponents, got the ball from a corner kick and scored a deflected goal to secure the victory. United suffered their 12th loss in the Premier League this season, causing them to fall short of narrowing the gap with fifth-placed Tottenham. Erik ten Hag’s actions demonstrated how fans perceive his future at Manchester United. Ten Hag supports United’s training methods despite injuries. “We began as a poor team, consistently giving away possession and struggling in defense,” Ten Hag stated in an interview with TNT Sports following the match. We were clearly in control of the game and our performance was excellent – we definitely earned the victory. However, we can’t just give it away as easily as we did before and we need to improve our management of the game. “Overall, it’s a team effort – while you can single out individual players, ultimately it’s about the team’s overall performance. During times of chaos, it is important to address the situation collectively and we failed to make the right decisions and support each other as a team.
