00:00I was a little bit surprised that it was today that it happened, because I thought that result
00:03yesterday, whilst it was obviously an unexpected loss, I did think that it was very much not
00:09Ten Hag's fault that game, United missing tons of chances and then a horrendous VAR
00:13decision to cost us the game in the last minute. But United are in the bottom half of the Premier
00:18League table, we haven't won a game in Europe in 12 months, I can't say I'm surprised that
00:22he's gone, you know, these are the sorts of standards and the levels that you don't expect
00:26United to be at.
00:27I don't want to say a mixed feeling, I was expecting it, or I was hoping for that to
00:30happen. I like the guy, I like Eritrean Hag, but I didn't think he was the right man for
00:36the job. Manchester United is too big a club for him.
00:39No, no, I thought it was coming. Yeah, it was, I suppose after the last result, it was
00:46inevitable that something was going to happen, something needs to change.
00:49I think that it's time we have a new approach, a new manager, a new idea. So, yeah, I think
00:58it's about time. But he should have been sacked like six months ago.
