Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag has expressed optimism about working with INEOS, despite not having had the time to speak with them yet. He anticipates future conversations and meetings, indicating a positive outlook on the collaboration. Meanwhile, Manchester United's performance on the field has been under scrutiny after a 2-1 defeat to Nottingham Forest. The loss marked the first time Manchester United has been beaten by Forest in the Premier League era, with Gibbs-White scoring the decisive goal. Rasmus Hojlund was ruled out through illness, adding to United's challenges. Ten Hag criticized the team's inconsistent results and acknowledged the need for improvement, slamming the loss as 'unnecessary' and citing the lack of a stable squad and frequent changes as factors contributing to their erratic performance. The defeat adds to a challenging year for United, with 21 losses in all competitions, nearing record loss counts from past years. Ten Hag remains focused on convincing INEOS of his capabilities by highlighting the need for a consistent squad to achieve results.

I'm done with Ten Hag. The fact that he can't set up the team, coach or inspire the team to win against a bottom table team after a great come back performance last time is a real indictment. And why TF is Antony still playing. Absolute POS. Yuck!
