‘Best manager for Manchester United’: Erik Ten Hag insists despite 4-0 defeat to Palace

Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag has insisted he remains the right man to revive the club despite their bad run of form in the Premier League.

Erik ten Hag was left speechless on Monday night when his team were suffered the heaviest defeat of the season, a 4-0 loss to Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park.

When asked by a television reporter after the game if he was the right person for the job, Erik ten Hag replied, “Absolutely.”

“If the right players are available, we have a good squad. We miss almost the whole backline and then we have problems.”

“I will keep fighting. I prepared the team in the best way I could do. It was not good enough, I have to take responsibility for that but I will find energy and prepare them for Sunday’s game.”

United’s defeat to Palace was their thirteenth in the Premier League this season, their most ever in the 32-year history of the competition, which has left them in a lowly eighth position in the table.

Overall, United have now lost 18 games in all competitions this season, their most since the 1977-78 season when they lost 19 games.

Erik ten Hag has been linked with a move away from Manchester United with Bayern Munich reportedly interested in the former Ajax tactician.
