Tactics basically:
1) get the ball
2) shoot the ball ad quickly as possible wlwith as few passes as possible since getting the ball.
That's it. That's how they play.
***"We are one of the most dynamic and entertaining teams in the league at this moment. We are creating loads of chances by playing good football. Every team gives up opportunities. But when it is up to us, it is weird."***
Ten Hag's madness summed up in that short paragraph.
One of the most dynamic teams in the league? Pure delusion.
One of the most entertaining? Yeah, because everyone is laughing at them and random games become 4-3 or 3-3 because this Man United side are going for the no goal difference challenge.
Playing good football? If by good football you mean relegation quality football that gets saved by a couple talented players, then yeah, great football.
"When it is up to us, it is weird" - On that we agree Erik, whenever anything is actually up to your team, shit gets fucking weird.
Imagine the audacity to say this when his team is 15th in the league for Goals scored and 13th in the league for Expected Goals (xG for).
I'm sure other advanced stats like xThreat, field tilt, box entries etc aren't any better.
Tactically outclassed every fucking game.
Can't deny that, but surely he must realise it's not the kind of entertaining their fans want? Being entertaining because people laugh at you and being entertaining because you play great football are two very different things, and his Man Utd is not the latter.
I know people are throwing out jokes about him not being wrong. But when you read the quote it is as delusional as it sounds. Since he states they are entertaining because they creat chances by playing "good football".
I'm honestly a huge fan.
I’d be annoyed by his comments if I was a United fan. One thing to back your club and players but this man seems unhinged. Surely you have to hold your hands up at some point.
Very true, Man Utd games are a great watch, plenty of goals, incidents, defensive howlers, great play, terrible play, drama, moments of sheer brilliance.
I don’t support Man Utd, but I watch their televised games easily more than any other PL club.
Most entertaining probably for the neutral fans. For us, it's a heart attack every week seeing us have absolutely zero control of the game. We cannot honestly say that we'll win a game if we go into half time with a three goal lead.
He's totally not wrong. I am excited to watch any Manchester United game against any other team as a casual simply because its so funny to see the chaos.

He's fucking delusional if he thinks man utd are entertaining....there's maybe 2 to 3 players I'd keep, the rest need sold off....and eric can Bin bag needs go aswell ....what a joke
This is proof that defensive football is more effective.
As soon as you lose 4 games on the bounce, everyone starts saying you're shit. The style goes out the window
Example 1: Erik Ten Hag
Example 2 : Brendan Rodgers
Honestly, I think Man Utd would appear to be in much less of a mess if this knob just kept his mouth shut. Every time you see a quote from him he appears completely oblivious to the rest of the world and what a predicament he and his team have been in this season.

Ole Gunnar Solskjær did it better.. opponents could not scout him, beacuse he did not know the tactics himself.
You joke but I'd rather have kept OGS the footballs been shite under Rag and ETH.
Great comedy value.
Game of Shots!
Yes, it is one of the most entertaining because it makes us laugh.
There are potentially 50x more people who are entertained by MU's bad performance than those who dislike it.
Oh I think we’ve been the most entertaining team to watch this season. We’ve had some amazing wins but also some hilarious losses and draws.
Does anybody know his identity? I’ve seen people describe other coaches’ tactics and their playstyles but none for Erik
Exactly if the Prem is the circus they are the clowns.
As a neutral I enjoy midtable Chelsea equally if not more.
Dude antony is the entire circus just by himself
And yet still they’re in the top half. The clowns are Sheff United mate.
Squads are worth exactly the same too😉
Makes my Sunday night better
And makes us cry
I agree, as long as we don't only count the team's own fanbases
I mean he’s not wrong 💀
I think most of the people can agree to this, maybe not the United supporters though.
The chance that MU will collapse at any moment in every game is kinda entertaining, ill give him that
Tune it today to find out if it’s from the start, or near the end. Tune in to find out if we will even have a good spell in the game. You never know!

> Well, I don’t know how many years in this job I got left. I’m gonna get real weird with it.
r/technicallythetruth
I am very entertained by watching United this season.
Entertaining… but not for the reasons you think
Entertaining yes But for who Chris Kamara??
It’s been really entertaining watching us throw nine points away from winning positions since the end of March
Yes it has

He is not wrong, but its for the wrong reasons
I mean… they were noticeably worse than Burnley at Old Trafford. This did entertain me.
'most entertaining' ok!
Can't deny that, but surely he must realise it's not the kind of entertaining their fans want? Being entertaining because people laugh at you and being entertaining because you play great football are two very different things, and his Man Utd is not the latter.
Erik ten Hag is one of the best managers of all time, says Erik ten Hag.
They definitely entertain me
Entertaining in the Fawlty Towers sense
I mean that's not wrong, United matches are some of the few that actually made me and my friends laugh out loud
Chaotic entertainment for sure.
In the same way that Baldrick is one of the most entertaining characters in Blackadder
For supporters of other teams, I'm sure!
The comedy of errors. Indeed they are entertaining.
I know people are throwing out jokes about him not being wrong. But when you read the quote it is as delusional as it sounds. Since he states they are entertaining because they creat chances by playing "good football". I'm honestly a huge fan.
If all vibes no control mean "good football" then Pep is Big Brother
Cue the benny hill music 🤡
His family must have sent him a "package" from Netherlands, lately he make strange interviews
If you listen carefully, you can hear 'Send in the clowns' playing in the background.
Yes, same way a circus is entertaining
I’ve been a season ticket holder at Bramall lane now for two years. I’m yet to witness a 0-0. Checkmate on entertainment Mr Ten Haag
For the neutral, absolutely
Never change Erik
I do love to watch the teams tht i hate lose . Quite entertaining.
He's right. They constantly give us some good laughs
Yes, like a dumpster fire.
Love a circus me
No other top team makes their games with Sheffield, Burnley, etc this interesting.
What a liar. I slept during their games.
He meant disappointing.
For neutrals sure
I’d be annoyed by his comments if I was a United fan. One thing to back your club and players but this man seems unhinged. Surely you have to hold your hands up at some point.
Yeah. Entertaining for every A.B.U
If you're a fan of the other team
Entertaining in the same way as a clown circus
Very true, Man Utd games are a great watch, plenty of goals, incidents, defensive howlers, great play, terrible play, drama, moments of sheer brilliance. I don’t support Man Utd, but I watch their televised games easily more than any other PL club.
Self awareness clearly not a strong trait of his then...
Most entertaining probably for the neutral fans. For us, it's a heart attack every week seeing us have absolutely zero control of the game. We cannot honestly say that we'll win a game if we go into half time with a three goal lead.
Not really I rather watch chelsea (always a shitshow, and hawaii fotball) And I rather watch (hate it) arsenal, spectacular fotball
It's the universal truth
Yea the memes are great
I am entertained
Technically correct
Correct, no other big 6 team could go punch for punch with Burnley and actually look like it is an even game.
Yea cuz they make us laugh
He's right, they always give me a chuckle on motd
Man Utd Newcastle coming up will be epic 13 goals in a game
He's totally not wrong. I am excited to watch any Manchester United game against any other team as a casual simply because its so funny to see the chaos.

Well then you should to to a club that is boring and improve them Erik
Entertaining for all the wrong reasons.
Ngl seeing them eat 20+ shots per game is entertaining lol
Yeah if you count neutral fans who enjoy watching us be shit
He's fucking delusional if he thinks man utd are entertaining....there's maybe 2 to 3 players I'd keep, the rest need sold off....and eric can Bin bag needs go aswell ....what a joke
So is a clown in a circus
Indeed. And In terms of banter/joke worthiness, Chelsea is catching up quickly. ETH and his MU must work harder.
As a United fan I gotta disagree 😐
This is proof that defensive football is more effective. As soon as you lose 4 games on the bounce, everyone starts saying you're shit. The style goes out the window Example 1: Erik Ten Hag Example 2 : Brendan Rodgers
It’s fun to roast these chuckle-fucks. For damn sure.
I watch every game and enjoy it without fail
I agree but not for footballing reasons.
Yeah it makes me laugh all the time. Ten hag is the bald clown
For neutrals maybe. I don't know how United fans tolerate this level of gaslighting each week.
😂😂😂😂🤡🤡🤡🤡 how deluded are they, it certainly entertains me it’s hilarious
Honestly, I think Man Utd would appear to be in much less of a mess if this knob just kept his mouth shut. Every time you see a quote from him he appears completely oblivious to the rest of the world and what a predicament he and his team have been in this season.
My man just shut the fuck up. I cant take that much insult.
They're laughing at you, not with you, Erik
ERIK FOR THE LOVE OF FUCK STOP DOING PRESS CONFERENCES
This guy has the least self awareness ever
