As Manchester United get humiliated by City at home, a reminder that Erik Ten Hag drove @Cristiano out of the club and said he’d lose no sleep over it… and that the same @Cristiano has since scored 43 goals for club & country this year.

Records broken so far this season –
– Manchester United hadn't lost 5 of the opening 10 league games in 36 years, until Erik Ten Hag
– Galatasaray hadn't won a game on English soil in 117 years of existing, until Erik Ten Hag.
– Manchester United had never lost the opening… pic.twitter.com/kZd7jLUzTE

Seeing Manchester United lose is everything to me
I celebrate their losses as if my first child was just born
I yearn for their tears as if I need it for hydration
I live for their agony as if it was my joy
I was born to love and enjoy their failures

Ralf Rangnick was absolutely spot on in his assessment of Manchester United. No wonder the Glazers decided to get rid of him. Only way out of this mess is Shiekh Jassim Al Thani. https://t.co/kqiQsFAwZ6

Ten Hag is allowing Halland to score goals against Manchester United so that Cristano Ronaldo doesn't finish as 2023's top scorer
