Casemiro
Mount
Eriksen
Antony
Hjolund

5 toch? Nog steeds aanzienlijk. Maar Wan-Bissaka speelde linksback, Evans centraal samen met Casemiro. Het zit hem ook niet mee qua blessures.

Er stonden wel gewoon zeven aankopen van EtH in het veld.

Iedereen in Nederland weet dat je hem zoveel mogelijk buiten het transferbeleid moet houden. Heeft hij echt geen kijk op.

MU krijgt nog een paar stevige wedstrijden voor de kiezen: Arsenal, Newcastle, Brighton en dan de FA-finale tegen City. Dat kan zomaar uitdraaien op drie, vier nederlagen.

Dat was in zijn laatste half jaar bij Ajax ook toen de club in de fik stond na de dickpics van Marc. Ten Hag moest de media te woord staan want Van der Sar was nergens te bekennen.

Was het voetbal daardoor zo slecht?

Voor de top moet je het hele pakket hebben: charisma, tactisch inzicht, flexibiliteit, juiste inschatting van spelers en eventuele aanwinsten, enz.

Het rare aan hem is dat hij zelfs spelers die hij getraind heeft verkeerd inschat. Als iedereen hier wist dat Klaiber het niveau van Ajax niet aankon, waarom hij dan niet?

The away followers in the Arthur Wait Stand will not have been as forgiving when the United players approached them.

They were crammed into two-and-a-half blocks and were United’s best performer, singing defiantly from kick-off until full-time. Gone are the days when United fans used to descend on Selhurst Park and outnumber its denizens for processions and celebrations.

This marked a Premier League-era record 13th defeat of the season. United have now lost 18 games overall, their most since Dave Sexton's first term in charge in 1977-78. Sexton fell on his sword despite seven successive victories. Erik ten Hag will do well to record another win over the coming weeks. Ten Hag echewed the travelling supporters when the least they deserved was acknowledgement from the manager on another humiliating night.

The United manager vented at his players, at the fourth official and the referee. With every outburst, Ten Hag came closer to conceding. He looked beaten up. Oliver Glasner, responsible for the beating, was energetic and proactive in the nearby technical area.

"You're f*****g s**t," hollered the Palace supporters. They started the 'Ole's in the 75th minute at 4-0 and there was the obligatory rendition of “You’re getting sacked in the morning”.

United cannot qualify for the Champions League and there has always been a managerial change during, or at the end, of a season in that event. United will not qualify for Europe at this rate. They are eighth and in danger of finishing outside the top seven for the first time since 1990.

Watching Ten Hag stand motionless with his hands stuffed in his pockets, resigned to his fate as the scoreboard switched to 4-0, many will sympathise with the invidious position he is in. With European qualification in genuine jeopardy and an ominous FA Cup final circled in the calendar for May 25, there is an argument it is in the interests of all parties for an amicable divorce now.

Whatever excuse, context, mitigation or background Ten Hag offers, there is always a comeback. And it comes back to him. United's starting XI cost £404.5million. Two were academy graduates and two recruited on frees.

Onana presteert ook niet, vreemd genoeg.

Erik ten Hag walks into a bank to cash a cheque. As he approaches the cashier he says, "Good morning, could you please cash this cheque for me?"

Cashier:"It would be my pleasure. Could you please show me your ID?"

Ten Hag:"Truthfully, I did not bring my ID with me as I didn't think there was any need to. I am Erik ten Hag, Manager of Manchester United”.

Cashier: "Yes, I know who you are, but with all the regulations and monitoring of the banks because of impostors and forgers and requirements of the legislation, etc., I must insist on seeing ID."

Ten Hag: "Just ask anyone here at the bank who I am and they will tell you. Everybody knows who I am."

Cashier: "I am sorry, Mr Hag but these are the bank rules and I must follow them."

Ten Hag: "Please, I am urging you, please cash this cheque."

Cashier: "Look sir, here is an example of what we can do. One day, Tiger Woods came into the bank without ID. To prove he was Tiger Woods he pulled out his putter and made a beautiful shot across the bank into a cup. With that shot we knew him to be Tiger Woods and cashed his cheque."

"Another time, Andre Agassi came in without ID. He pulled out his tennis racket and made a fabulous shot where the tennis ball landed in my cup. With that shot we cashed his cheque. So, sir, what can you do to prove that it is you and only you?"

Erik stands there thinking and thinking and finally says, "Honestly, my mind is a total blank...there is nothing that comes to my mind. I can't think of a single thing. I have absolutely no idea what to do. I don't have a clue."

Cashier: "Will that be large or small notes , Mr Ten Hag?”

Kudus was onlangs in de running voor beste aankoop van het seizoen in de PL.

Dat is dan weer zo'n moment dat je denkt dat lang niet alles dat er in zit er ook uit is gekomen bij ons.
