Erik ten Hag’s tenure as Manchester United manager has been marred by a series of off pitch incidents involving key players adding to the challenges he faces in steering the club forward. Despite delivering some successes including a third place finish in the Premier League and ending a trophy drought, Ten Hag has encountered significant setbacks this season.

Cristiano Ronaldo’s desire to leave the club the prolonged takeover saga and Mason Greenwood’s situation have all posed difficulties. Additionally, tensions arose with Jadon Sancho leading to his loan departure while accusations against Antony and Anthony Martial’s decline further compounded matters.

Financial constraints due to past spending and Marcus Rashford’s recent behavior also contributed to the turmoil. Despite these challenges, Ten Hag remains determined to navigate the club through turbulent times.
