The quote is just missing a 'but' in there...

"We want to be back playing Champions League. (but) we will be back where we belong..." the Europa Lge

"If you doubt me, even better"

He must be over the moon RN then.

Never has such an overblown image been built using two good and one very good season over the course of an entire decade.

These words might carry a bit more weight if he didn't present himself as such a stroppy child on the pitch...


People doubt you Marcus because you continue to prove them right by being lazy and making little effort to press

With all the stuff about school dinners etc Rashford reminds me of the good kid at school who gets teased a bit and is just known as being a good boy by everyone, so he starts acting up a bit and doing standard sort of naughty boy stuff to get himself sent out a few times so that kids don’t just think he’s a good boy really.

He’s like the Man United version of that episode of Only fools and Horses where Rodney takes Nerys out in the van.

This is hilarious, trying to defend rat boy and his antics. Love the fact Fulham done this as it’s been going on far too long and it needs more attention.
Shame reporters don’t actually respond and say to Ten Haag, well actually he is a massive dirty cheat tbh.

I saw this early this morning, how does the head coach of one of the elite clubs on the planet behave like an entitled 6 year old, Rat Boy is a cheat, he does this every game! Fulham have NOTHING to apologize for. Ten Hack can do one! POS.

I can’t believe Ten Hag took the bait. He’s such an amateur
It's proper Streisand effect material. "I haven't seen it. Next question" is such an easy response and it would probably have gone away but he's just thrown fuel on it and made a lot more people aware. I had no idea Fulham had put that video out but it was already spreading like wildfire from fan videos after (and probably during) the game and it's only getting a second wind because of his response.

I think it's sometimes difficult for on field officials to see everything that is going on, but there is no reason that there couldn't be retrospective action on stuff like that.

It's an attempt to cheat, plain and simple and he (or anyone else) shouldn't be able to continually get away with it.

The crazy thing is i saw the Ten Hag quotes before seeing the Tiktok and thought i remembered the incident where Fernandos (which I'm calling him now as he's chicken shit ;) )went down in agony and then as soon as he didn't get the free kick he jumped up and ran off like nothing happened.
Then saw the video and realized it was a totally different piece of cheating :ROFLMAO:

The issue with trying to stamp out diving is the force needs to come from FIFA.

The PL could introduce harsher rules yet as soon as a PL team gets into Europe or English players go to the WC, they will be at a disadvantage.

It needs to be right throughout the game

Erik ten Hag has called for more protection for Man Utd captain Bruno Fernandes – but there are over 110 Premier League players who have been fouled more times than the Portuguese midfielder this season.

In fact, when fouls are factored per 90 minutes, there are 213 Premier League regulars fouled more frequently.

Or the PL could show a bit of leadership here and show what could be done.

Totally agree, domino effect across the footballing chain what with the PL being the richest league in the world.
Total lack of direction from FIFA so surely the PL need to start using their standing in the world game and start bringing in rules to our league which the rest of the world game will then introduce.
Great to see it looks like the whole blue card nonsense looks likely to be shelved, my only concern is that they are only talking about dissent as a sin bin whereas I think all yellows should be a ten minute sin bin.
Cards and bins work really well in so many other sports but football refuses to acknowledge that or incorporate it
