Erik ten Hag has already told Manchester United fans what he expects from the Old Trafford crowd

According to the Manchester Evening News, Manchester United has held talks with Erik ten Hag regarding the possibility of him becoming the club’s next permanent manager. The club, on the other hand, wants to make sure that no stone is left unturned, thus all of the selected individuals will be interviewed before a final selection is made.

United supporters, on the other hand, are already anticipating any probable appointment, as it would mark the start of the club’s new endeavor. And, if Ten Hag is picked, he has already stated his expectations of the Old Trafford faithful.

Fans were heard jeering Ajax goalkeeper Andre Onana during the club’s high-stakes title game with Feyenoord at the weekend. Fans have reacted angrily to the Cameroon international’s plans to leave the Dutch club in the summer when his contract expires.

“We brought the crowd back [on side] after the break,” Ten Hag remarked in his post-match press conference. But it’s also wonderful if the fans give a boost when things aren’t going well and the game appears to be dead. You saw what such support can achieve for our team in the second half.”

Ajax won 3-2 following a hard-fought game in which they trailed twice, but Ten Hag was not in the mood to celebrate after seeing a portion of the crowd jeering his goalkeeper. It reminds me of Manchester United’s 1-0 loss to Atletico Madrid, when the fans were constantly berating Harry Maguire despite the player not doing much wrong.

But he also demonstrated how supporters can be used for good. United’s success at home was always aided by the Old Trafford crowd, which pushed them forward when they needed to score and never let them rest on their laurels.

The mood at Old Trafford has sunk as the season has progressed and results have not gone United’s way. There are little indicators that things will improve, either, with Arsenal and Tottenham’s recent form making a top-four finish seem increasingly improbable.

However, the team will start fresh next season with Ten Hag or whoever the club chooses as its manager. If it’s Ten Hag, he’ll probably win over the crowd by echoing managers like Sir Alex Ferguson and emphasizing the significance of the players in everything the team does. Assuming the role of United’s 12th man.
