Manchester United continues to stumble, the team seems to be losing its identity with every new game, either in Europe or in the Premier League, but that doesn't seem to affect coach Erik ten Haag.
"Judge us at the end of the season," he said after another "problematic" edition against Porto in the Europa League (3:3).
Therefore, Ten Hag is sure that he will see the end of the season on the bench.
United is 13th in the Premier League table, won only seven points in six games, experienced as many as three defeats (only Wolverhampton, Southampton and Everton have more), and has no victory even after two rounds in the Europa League - two draws.
The "Devils" miraculously avoided defeat last night in Porto, despite a 2:0 lead, they lost 3:2 and had one less player, they equalized in stoppage time with a Maguire goal.
"Don't judge us at this point, judge us at the end of the season. We are in the process, we will progress. We had two seasons in which we reached the final, we will continue to fight", said Ten Haag.
With his triumph in the FA Cup in May, the Dutchman obviously won the trust of the club's management and "bought" himself at least one more season on the bench, but the question is how much trust will the owner of one of the biggest clubs in the world have.
Meanwhile, Ten Hag continues to "irritate" the fans, the media, even with some small details.
His decision to replace Marcus Rashford at half-time against Porto, for example, after he scored a goal, assisted, it seems - finally found a rhythm, was rated by some journalists in England as "the worst" in Ten Haag's era.
"Injury? No, Rashford feels great. We have to rotate, that's why he stayed in the dressing room," he explained.
