[Luckhurst] Erik Ten Hag on Ugarte: “I am not Harry Potter. Manuel Ugarte hasn’t played in the season so far. He needs to build his fitness. It will take weeks, maybe months”.

1. United fans are in for a shock if they think Ugarte will help them control games lol

2. Casemiro to continue then

3. Hate to tell you Erik, but you don’t have months.

4. Why is he not fit?

5. We need Dumbledore to turn ETH into a competent manager at this rate.

6. Oh good, we were all confused by your magic. Thanks for clarifying!

7. I had no idea that Harry Potter was such an effective fitness coach.

8. Top manager

9. Okay fair on Ugarte. But what about the other hundreds and hundreds of millions of pounds you’ve spent on players? Can anyone say any of them have been a success or improved under ETH?

   Play style still has gaping holes like it did last year, that’s being gracious considering its very hard to see any play style implemented. Szobo had so many times sitting between the defensive line and the midfield, something Carra pointed out months ago but was told he was wrong. Slot watched games from last year and exploited the same issues they had today, which you’d expect to be worked on and resolved or somewhat fixed.

10. How did Ugarte pass his medical if he needs weeks maybe months to get fit enough? And wasn’t he top priority in the window so they choose to buy him on deadline day to have Casemiro play 3 games?

    Also the Harry Potter comment proves his older forgotten brother Graham is the next manager lined up.

11. maybe years

12. Agree with seven hag. Can man u extend him further?

13. Months?!

14. United fans are having a problem if they think that a new manager will do any better with this squad.

    Rashford is thrash, Fernandes barely good enough, Casimeiro is Saudi ready, they still don’t have a solid striker ( no clue why they thought going into the season with Hojlund and Zirkzee was good enough ) Onana is hit or miss, in big games mostly miss.

    There are a few bright spots right now in the squad but the most expensive players in term of salary are just not giving anything positive.

15. He’s gonna need some Magic to keep his job

16. Erik Potter will be gone in a month if things dont improve, he surely wont have MANY MANY months.

17. Months lol even my fat arse can get fit in that time 

18. Harry Potter out Graham Potter in

19. the quote is especially terrible when he follows up the harry potter line with a bunch of mumbling and gibberish

    jeez man invoke some fuckin confidence if you’re gonna drop a line like that

20. ETH in serious contention to being the first manager sacked.

    Half a billion spent, 3 years in charge and absolutely no change, no style, no plan.

    Madness

21. I swear this guy believes his job is being unlikable first, managing a football club second. The level of condescension he displays you’d think he’d have won more than an FA Cup while in charge of Man United

22. This man has the ego of Mourinho and the ability of Steve Bruce.

23. Memechester United
