Erik ten Hag’s Manchester United Fate Rests on 2024/25 Carabao Cup

Manchester United Carabao Cup

Manchester United are trusting Erik Ten Hag with a third straight season with many ups and downs. One thing Erik Ten Hag has been consistent with is the domestic cup competitions. He has won an FA Cup and a Carabao Cup in two years at the club, also adding an FA Cup final defeat last year to this as well. With a not-so-bright start to the new season, The Dutchman is starting to lose the patience of Manchester United supporters, who will likely expect him to perform well in the cup competitions again this season or maybe face the possibility of an early sacking.

After two wins and two losses already in the Premier League for Erik Ten Hag and his men, Concerns among United supporters extend beyond the results and include a few additional issues such as style of play, rotation of the squad, the manager’s stubbornness, all of these things will now be carefully assessed by the club. Fans demand a consistent style of play from their team, they want Manchester United to know what are they doing on the pitch after spending more than 210 Million euros this summer.

With the new owners, INEOS, taking charge and finally asserting some authority over the Red Devils, it gives the fans and everyone around the club a glimpse of hope. No one can deny that the manager has not been backed this summer, with crucial signings in every department of the field as the Dutchman expected to add more depth to the squad and compete for the league this time. Expectations keep mounting for him to deliver. Manchester United did manage to come back on track and win 3-0 Against Southampton after two straight losses, including the 3-0 drubbing they got at Old Trafford at the hands of Liverpool.

Manchester United’s Fans View Point

Fans would expect a straightforward convincing victory against EFL League One side Barnsley. They would also expect a rotation of the squad considering Ten Hag is not a big fan of it and would rather play his best eleven in every game, which may have contributed to Manchester United’s injury problems the previous season. He has enough depth in the squad this season to rotate in matches like this and still get better results. With mostly all of the players slowly coming back from injuries, such as Rasmus Hojlund, Luke Shaw, and Mason Mount, United will be getting a full squad fit for the first time in a while.

In a few months, Tyler Malacia will also be back who has been out for more than a year now. Now, the Dutch manager can finally develop a style of play and dominate teams, which, according to the fans, is very concerning. He can finally show the fans that he is Manchester United’s best choice. Not only is this Carabao Cup fixture important for the team to determine their future direction, but everyone is also betting on Manchester United to win the whole thing. Will Ten Hag turn it around at Old Trafford? Or will we see another managerial change coming soon?
