Listen here to It&#8217;s All Kicking Off\u00a0<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>When it comes to considering how a manager will fare at a new club, I put myself back into the position of my first day, meeting the team I was about to manage.<\/p>\n<p>I know the players are sitting there, listening to me and thinking: \u2018Come on then. Tell us how you\u2019re going to make us better as individuals and as a team.\u2019 Never in my wildest imagination have I been able to picture Erik ten Hag holding court from the middle of a dressing room, convincing a group of young men with highly inflated opinions of themselves that they are all going places together.<\/p>\n<p>I think the majority of them are struggling to buy into his body language, his demeanour, his soft Dutch accent, his ill-fitting suits. From his very first team talk, the players will have worked out what he is and what he isn\u2019t.<\/p>\n<p>The dressing room is a ruthless place. Football players are a cynical bunch. They will look for little chinks in this manager\u2019s armour. I find it hard to believe there will not have been some scepticism from day one.<\/p>\n<p>Ten Hag has just never jumped out to me as someone capable of saying: \u2018Hey lads. We\u2019re all in this together. Let\u2019s roll our sleeves up and deal with everything that comes our way.\u2019<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/11\/03\/17\/77374357-12707899-image-a-6_1699031100873.jpg\" height=\"422\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag is under pressure following a dismal run of results<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/11\/03\/17\/77374351-12707899-image-a-7_1699031106934.jpg\" height=\"357\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>Players will have worked out from early in his tenure what Ten Hag is and what he isn&#8217;t\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/11\/03\/16\/74969349-12707899-Mail_Sport_columnist_Graeme_Souness_believes_the_Liverpool_legen-a-3_1699030686036.jpg\" height=\"392\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>Mail Sport columnist Graeme Souness believes Man United&#8217;s squad aren&#8217;t buying in to Ten Hag<\/p>\n<p>Your browser does not support iframes.<\/p>\n<p>When Sir Alex Ferguson was at that club, he created an atmosphere of \u2018It\u2019s us against the world\u2019. Not now. That dressing room looks fragmented, with no-one trusting anyone and no togetherness.<\/p>\n<p>Ten Hag\u2019s c.v. \u2014 or lack of one \u2014 doesn\u2019t help. It\u2019s not telling me that he\u2019s going to be a success at Manchester United. He got the job on the back of managing Bayern Munich reserves, Utrecht and then Ajax, the consistently dominant team in the Dutch Eredivisie which, with all due respect, is not the strongest of leagues.<\/p>\n<p>He then proceeded to persuade United to sign players who so far have not been good enough to play at a big club in England. Since he took the job, that club have spent \u00a3411million. Only Chelsea have spent more.<\/p>\n<p>United\u2019s players are all looking at each other for help now, and I don\u2019t know where they\u2019re getting it from. You would have thought Casemiro or Raphael Varane would help but how\u2019s their English? That leaves you with Bruno Fernandes as captain of that club, running about waving his arms around when things are not going well. Not a good look.<\/p>\n<p>There\u2019s the Jadon Sancho situation, and the problems with Andre Onana, when there were far bigger priorities this summer than getting a goalkeeper who could kick the ball better than David de Gea.<\/p>\n<p>Cristiano Ronaldo giving up on United was significant. He was the best advert for professional football you could get \u2014 but United got rid of him in what would appear, at best, to have been a misunderstanding over how much game time he was going to get.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s not all about the manager, though. That old saying \u2018Have a look at yourself in the mirror\u2019 is as valid today as it ever was. This group of United players don\u2019t look themselves in the mirror.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/11\/03\/16\/77373991-12707899-image-a-2_1699030589351.jpg\" height=\"447\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>Ten Hag earned the Man United job off the back of success with an already dominant Ajax side<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/11\/03\/17\/77374299-12707899-image-a-5_1699031025960.jpg\" height=\"423\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>Man United were persuaded to spend \u00a3411m by Ten Hag on players who have failed to impress<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/11\/03\/17\/77374225-12707899-image-a-4_1699030927107.jpg\" height=\"431\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>Cristiano Ronaldo giving up on Man United should have been seen as a significant moment<\/p>\n<p>The phrase I detest more than any other in football \u2014 and you hear it far too often \u2014 is: \u2018The manager\u2019s lost the dressing room.\u2019 Let\u2019s take that expression down for a moment and analyse what it really means. In plain English, it\u2019s a group of weak-willed players who are looking for an excuse, piling blame on the manager.<\/p>\n<p>We didn\u2019t look for excuses at Liverpool in the depths of the winter 1981, when we lost to Manchester City and slipped to 12th in the league. Joe Fagan got us together and said: \u2018That\u2019s it. There\u2019s nothing else we can help you with. I suggest you lot go out, have a few beers and f****** sort it out yourselves.\u2019 We did. And we won the league five months later.<\/p>\n<p>The reason why United are in the mire is they\u2019ve spent one-and-a-half billion pounds on average players since Fergie left. Fergie would have had the first and last say on who was joining and leaving that club. I would suggest that since he\u2019s gone, that\u2019s just not been the case. I keep saying it to the point of being boring: non-footballing people are making the biggest decisions at many big clubs in the Premier League.<\/p>\n<p>Although United finished third and won the Carabao Cup last year, an alarm bell bigger than Big Ben should have been ringing in their heads, after the manner of the club\u2019s 7-0 defeat at the home of their historical rivals, Liverpool. Players that day simply threw in the towel.<\/p>\n<p>The club are now at a stage where there\u2019s little Ten Hag can do about any of it. I assure you he will have said everything he can say, tried absolutely everything he feels he can do, to make it work. He\u2019s exhausted all the ideas and terminology. He is now entering every game on a wing and a prayer.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/11\/03\/17\/77374797-12707899-image-a-9_1699031584465.jpg\" height=\"423\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>The manner of Man United&#8217;s 7-0 defeat against Liverpool should have sounded alarm bells<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/11\/03\/17\/77374743-12707899-image-a-10_1699031595504.jpg\" height=\"423\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>Man United are now at a stage where there is little Ten Hag can do to address the situation<\/p>\n<p><span><span>Sign me up, Al-Ettifaq&#8230;<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p>I spent a week in Portugal last week and was in the gym every day, sometimes watching Portuguese television carrying games from the Saudi league.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>It was an experience which helped me understand why only 696 fans turned up to watch Jordan Henderson\u2019s Al-Ettifaq team lose at home.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>I have to say that the games were a difficult watch and they actually got me thinking: \u2018I could do half an hour as an ageing central midfielder in that football.\u2019 I\u2019m making myself available!<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/11\/03\/17\/77375131-12707899-image-a-11_1699032068799.jpg\" height=\"423\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>Jordan Henderson\u2019s Al-Ettifaq team were watched by just 696 in the Saudi Pro League<\/p>\n<p><span>Storm Ciaran blew in some entertainment<\/span><\/p>\n<p>I watched my local team Bournemouth lose to my old team, Liverpool, on Wednesday with Storm Ciaran on the way, creating the kind of conditions that every professional player most hates.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>They can deal with heavy rain or a bit of snow.
