"Fairytales and lies" | Erik ten Hag hits out at the media for sacking rumours 

Now that’s a bloody lie, sky sports has been out to get ten hag since the moment he was hired. Regardless of whether he’s done a good job or not. He wasn’t the medias choice back in 2022. They all wanted Pochetino and they didn’t get that

Sky media feeling defensive now?

Criticism is okay but making up stories is not.

These clowns trying to defend their lies

As Manchester united fans we are listening to our manager not media.

I feel you are defending the wrong thing. Erik said some sections of the media not all the media. Why is Sky feeling guilty? Those sections of the media who had already appointed Zidane as manchester manager do you think they were lies or truth. I can undertand sky covering itself but there are sections of the media who are exaggerating. Even Erik acknowledges the performance is not good. Erik understand better than most of you what the pressure is for bad results.

The fairy tale and lies is that the board was meeting to discuss ten hags job and some of the same sky reporters waited outside said meeting to get a response that was never forthcoming

Sky cant live without united.

Arsenal lost match yesterday, and no media is talking about it😢 YOU ALL JUST WANT US TO ALWAYS LOOSE

When will the media be honest and just come out and say "A failing Man United is GOOD for Business"

But guys are too quick to judge. Since he came to United, you guys have been criticising every little thing he does wrong.

Sky sports please leave our manager alone and let him do his job

worst media....

Two trophies two seasons. Crying cuz he turned it around at half time. Get off that man… no diddy

If Madrid/Bayern were 14th blablabla. Madrid are favourites to win the tittle. Bayern are favourites to win the title. United aren’t. So your narrative is a load of bollocks again. Scummy media.

Arsenal are title contenders and yet man utd are 11th but six points behind them, and nobody is saying anything about that?...We are a few games in the season and yet everybody is on man utd's case, give us a break let's talk after the November international break

I am not a big fan of Erik anymore but on this subject, you can literally see Kaveh defensive tactics towards ten hag. You can tell they felt attacked by ten hag but he never mentioned sky, he said some sections of the media. Southgate has been England manager for how many years, yes they did get close to winning titles but performances were not good. Crop Sky

You guys don’t want to discuss about the game, what you guys doing is only sneaking clubs backroom and destroying the football game. Shame as a sports channel.

Sky Media being slick with words. Eric in my humble opinion isn't talking about criticism or speculation based on small facts from media. He is talking about some media statements, regarding the way they formulate their "facts" and giving meaning to set "facts"/drawing conclusions. As if he's allready getting sacked. Or about to get sacked. The narrative is created that things are allready as such, or for instance a regular boardmeeting is all of a sudden initiated solely on Ten Hag future appointment discussions, instead of the manager performance and position is part of the regular agenda in set meetings. Media amplify certain facts to create stories and highlights, for exposure, views and clicks. MAN U is the media's gift that keeps on giving.

Ole came 2nd with no trophy’s (same as arteta) and the media’s conclusion was he just can’t get them over the line, trophy’s are what matters. Ten hag comes 8th with back to back trophies and he’s getting flack for it? And arteta came 8th,8th then 5th? You can’t tell me Man Utd aren’t treated differently in the media.

Poor sky cant get the big sack story they so want

So a that win has really annoyed Sky journalists 😂

You can’t compare unstable United with Bayern, United are in problems for years and that’s not Ten Hag’s fault. He is not wizard to get premier league title after 11 years of someone else mistakes. These guys are delusional

Wins a game. Sky ignore that and go back a week for a bit of negativity to flog. Haters will hate

That guys talking absolute nonsense you wasn’t reporting on the summer sack rumours why would you be recycling summer story’s in October. You started all the rumours again that he will be sacked if your going to write rubbish own it don’t back track

The two of you clearly shows that you are against him

They keep speaking about style of play, I honestly need someone to explain “style of play” to me cause that’s the story they sell without explaining it.

These channels will gaslight you if you not smart enough to see through their bs kavi is prime example of making io stories. He said the last board meeting was about eric future and they would sack him. The owners host a board meeting every single month 😅😅 now he sits here acting like he is not part of it

Shame on skysports

No united No news😂

Being the manager of Manchester United is the toughest job in football. You need to be made of strong stuff to withstand the constant media pressure aimed at belittling, ridiculing, and questioning your competence-often portraying you as unqualified and perpetually on the brink of being sacked. It's enough to unnerve and derail the weak. Yet, Ten Hag remains resilient, focused, and steadfast. He knows the role demands extraordinary strength and leadership that only a select few can handle. In my mind, he has all these qualities in abundance.

No United No Sky Sports!!!!!

I thought the attention from Tuchel would have distracted them more than this

thanks Eric ten am sure if we're lost to Brentford it would be different story now how stupid this media are going through 😭

The story you’re making is Mourinho will be super motivated to win against his old club but he’s already gone to old trafford with spurs & lost and he took man United back to Chelsea & got battered too.

What an embarrassing segment

What else did they expect sir Jim to say? He has people making those decisions…the media is out to get ETH

Journalist always talk nonsense, and I'm not surprised when Donut defend his fellow colleagues. But stop talking nonsense you journalist. Find something to talk about

That Donut Rants will be crying his eyes out someone cover his eyes!

Why do they feel so guilty so much that they have to defend yourself

What about Klopp being in the right side if the table not so long ago. Were the criticisms as attacking to him as to Ten Hag? I don't think so

That's right! We don't want Erik Sacked! We want Erik Ten More Years!

So basically he’s saying that SkySports made assumptions and reported them assumptions as actual news okay cool

It's not about vendetta against ETH it's for the views

As a Manchester United fan, a lot of us understand we aren't a top 4 club right now. We are in progress, 2 trophies in two seasons, rare for a team in the condition that we are in at the moment. Arteta came under the same scrutiny and now look at him. Give Ten Hag the time.

The excuses this man gives are ridiculous.

ETH… man, he is really underperforming and you can’t beat Kaveh on this subject. Kaveh is pure class.

fake news sky sports

He didn't call you out on the summer stories nor the criticism right now but on the speculations on his position for the last few weeks, specially before that last international break. You are diverting the discussion into the performance which was crap but that's not what he was referring to.

Samuel luckhurst wants to get ten hag sacked

Sky always making up stories around Man united negatively, board is meeting to sack ETH bla bla bla. Stop talking about what happened last season, you people made stories United board was meeting to sack ETH shame on you 😅😅😅 Sky will not exist without making stories about United apuuuuuuuu Wait oooo why is Sky even defending themselves? ETH said some section of the media, guilt is killing this negative fox

No. Journalists write for engagement these days. And sensationalist man United stories get the most engagement. These two on their journalistic high horse.

Manchester United isn’t Real Madrid, he did not deny United interviewing other managers, Radcliffe said it wasn’t his decision. He has people who run the club. This guy just talks trash!!! I hate sky sports

Must love how Sky are trying to justify themselves. When other teams are doing badly you never hear them attack the club or manager the way they do with United. All they every do is criticize but will never praise or take back negative statements. The so called journalists are so biased and always want to write a sensation piece, barely any to no actual facts. Just do your actual jobs and report or the actual fact and not speculation

He was taking about the rumours during the international break so it’s easy to go back to what happened at the end of last season …..

Media stop lying! ETH is the best coach we have ever seen, Ineos get him 10 years contract now!

So why does being a huge club mean you only get to be scrutinised and only get special treatment in a negative way????Why not be able to choose when you kick off, choose to play at home every game and be automatically entered into the champions league instead of Aston Villa for example because you are more famous???………..OBVIOUSLY because it’s unfair and inconsistent to do that, meaning they ALL clubs are treated the same way and it doesn’t excuse making stories with ZERO proof.

Some of these analysts have since loose their respect. They are so preoccupied with the sacking of Erik than seeing him succeed. I don't know any other manager that has been severely criticised like Erik in recent times.

all these Manchester United supporters in the comments getting emotional listen your completely off the pace

And now sky come out on the defensive and back track because of what he said. He did not single out any specific media journalists! Look my club is mess! It will take time! People at the top are in the positions less than a year! And certain players are still needing to be sold! Change doesn’t happen over night!

Skysport with United news everytime...una no dey tire!!..

So he says media are lying now and you say it wasn’t a lie last summer??? 🤔

Bayern Munich 14😳? Who are the 13 teams that would be ahead 🤔🤔,bad example.

But they do lie for their bread and butter for their children but its okey atleast poor joirnalists children getting food, shelter and education.

Eric Ten Hag was talking about fellas saying he is about to be fired sooner than later, where they got the information nobodyb knows. And he was responding to a question, he did not start that conversation just out of the blue🤣🤣🤣🤣

True you media of England sucks

You don’t have to be after the managers head, but you could be damn right jealous enough to rubbish everything about it. Don’t speak as fools. We can see what you’re up to.

hey man, dont hate on the jerry springer show.

He's right all British media wanted pochetinho not ETH and that tells everything

Sacked in the morning, you're getting sacked in the morning 😂😂😂

“From what I read that is being reported is..” yeah by your own bollocks that you write. 😂😂😂 These guys are pathetic.

Lies!? Your team scored 7 goals this season and we are close to november! 😂 this guy is delusional.

Being from Manchester I know the odd United fan and they both agree that ETH should not still be the manager.

Fergie wasn't even at the game 😂

Afterall the criticism thank you for the lil praise at the end 😂❤

No matter what you say In Ten Hag we trust

This show is actually not far from Jerry springer. Just unnecessary witch hunting. You are not journalists.

You win a game against Brentford and think you are sticking it to the critics??? Its Brentford!

If we believe the media, ETH would have been sacked half a dozen times already.

Fpl tip for next few weeks::Captain Bruno Fernandes ,he is due big points

Ten Hag thoughts he's beyond sack.!

I didn't know we were title contenders, like Madrid. Sky really gets their lights up cause of United

Both men sit so close living the lady way in the corner all by her self 😮

Started off bending the truth. The lie was that his job is at risk THIS season. Not pre-season. Your channel held up headlines to suggest decisions were being made on his future last week. This was not true and an outright lie. Well now we're 14th and 3 points off 6th position. All about context. Stop poisoning the pool. Such sorry journalism

Man U is 11th in the table, why is there no spotlight on managers of the bottom 3 clubs. End of the day, no football team is going to get any praise or compliment from this bunch of 1 sided biased journalists ~ talk about objective reporting……… Just watch, this bunch of vultures are starting another round of criticisms with the mention of Jose in the coming match. Not forgetting, Jose was formerly a Man U manager, so is this bunch of clowns going to have a go at Jose………. U bunch of twets are just fond of playing devils’ advocate………

One of the biggest clubs in the world, then why you got to treat him like he’s a robot like he doesn’t know what he’s doing

Skysports is rattled😂😂😂

He is right,sky sports,guys you exergurate things🙅

Its a DISGRACE FROM SKY i want to go on there tell all them my mind JOKERS no other club get that much heat

There's no kudos for managing united it is exclusively a burden , like having a target on your back - not only for eth but for any managers - united fans need to clap back at the media targeting united 😒

The media hasn't said s*** about Newcastle or Chelsea managers - when potch was doing bad last season no one said anything - spurs has been hot and cold this season - no one is talking about their managers getting the sack - Eddie Howe is English, has had worse seasons that eth with no trophies and signed players united wanted , but not one journalist has been speaking about him losing his job... united are not scoring, but they are making clear cut opportunities and have more cleansheets than city ... they have conceded less goals than most of the teams above them and have had games taken out of their hands by refs making dodgy decisions like sending Bruno off against bournmouth - something which has really not got enough attention especially considering it was a game we could have won and 3 points would put us above spurs and level on points with Chelsea- the media bias against united is real and firing another manager isn't going to solve any problems and most likely cause more problems - give him till atleast January and personally I'd prefer if he was given the season before criticizing him 🤷‍♂️

tenhag was being attacked by the media before he even started his first gfame fir united stop the lies

Kaveh got real defensive. Talk about a hypocrite.

The media are like piranhas..one bites and the others go crazy for their pound of flesh.

You manage a big team you're going to get more attention. No one is out to get anyone. It's all fair criticism

Journalists defending journalists hahahaha Despicable people jernos

Sky's defence looks as good as United's 😅😅😅

WHY ARE THESE PEOPLE LEACHING ON MY CLUBS NAME........CLOWNS GETTING DEFENSIVE LOL...........JUST YAP ABOUT UNITED TO GET CLICKS.......

Media keep off my club‼️

He is talking about sacking in last month.
