MANCHESTER – Criticized Manchester United football coach Erik ten Hag said media speculation about his position in recent weeks was unfounded.
At a press conference before Saturday’s English league match against Brentford, he called them fairy tales and lies. According to the Dutch coach, there is peace in the club, which is ranked 14th in the Premier League table.

“The ruckus was heard from some of you, you made up stories and tales, you fed lies,” Ten Hag told reporters. “I know that we are all united in the club. Before the (representative) break, I told some journalists who probably didn’t believe me when I saw the news afterwards. There is peace inside the club.” claimed the coach, who is in his third season at Old Trafford.
His charges have not won five matches. The Hag admitted that he is not happy with the team’s performance, but is confident that they will improve with time. “We are sticking to the plan and we are confident that we will break it. I am sure that in the end we will succeed, as in the last two seasons.” he stated with reference to the triumphs in the League and the FA Cup.

Erik the Hag Speaks Out: Media Speculation is Fairy Tales!
By the sharpest wits of football commentary, let’s dive into the delightful drama happening over at Manchester United, shall we? Our friend Erik ten Hag, who now—admittedly with a name that sounds like a villain from a fairy tale—has been treading the tumultuous waters of media speculation. You would think he had taken a job in a magic kingdom with all the nonsense floating around!
Manchester United‘s head coach Erik ten Hag has recently labeled media chatter about his future at the club as “fairy tales and lies.” I mean, if only he had a magic wand to wave away that pesky narrative! But alas, it seems he’s still just got a clipboard and a passion for tactics. According to ten Hag, there’s “peace in the club,” parked at a modest 14th in the Premier League—less “peace” and more “puzzlement,” if you ask me!
Erik ten Hag on the media mentioning Man Utd to sack him: “The noise is only coming from some of the media, creating stories and fairy tales and bringing lies.”
Perhaps he believes we’re all living in a children’s storybook where happy endings are just waiting around the corner!👑
Now, let’s break this down. The coach confidently asserts that the team is united. Perhaps they’re all holding hands, singing Kumbaya in a circle—but on the pitch, it appears they’ve forgotten they’re not supposed to kick the ball to one another’s shins!
Ten Hag has openly admitted he’s as happy with the team’s performance as a cat in a room full of rocking chairs—let’s just say he’s not. Five matches without a win, and he has the poise of someone about to take a very deep breath before jumping into an icy lake! But he reassures everyone that improvement is on the way. “We are sticking to the plan,” he insists, as the plan seems to have misplaced its map somewhere along the M62.
In a twist of classic British irony, ten Hag said: “I am sure that in the end, we will succeed, as in the last two seasons.” Well, those two seasons were filled with trophies, but let’s not forget we’re all living in the *now*, Erik. Saying you’re going to hit a target doesn’t mean it won’t spread its wings and fly away first!
And just like that, the saga continues. Will ten Hag be the hero who brings Manchester United back to glory, or is he merely a misguided wizard trying to concoct spells from a crumbling spellbook? Only time will tell, but until then, Manchester United fans—and the rest of us looking for a good laugh—might as well whip up a series of “What Will Happen Next?” So grab your popcorn, because this fairy tale’s just getting started!
