Media, pundits...If Ten Hag is on his way out, he's going out fighting

'Garnacho needs coaching to improve finishing and decision-making. Hojlund is as raw now as when he signed in the summer' TYRONE MARSHALL

LAST week it was the media, this week it was the pundits who have been critical of his team.

Erik ten Hag certainly isn't going down without a fight at United.

The under-pressure Dutchman is also using United's history to try and fight his corner and prove to Ineos he is the right man for the job heading into next season.

Having referenced the club's FA Cup final record on a couple of occasions last week, he discussed Sir Alex Ferguson's rebuilding jobs after Saturday's uninspiring draw with Burnley.

Within Ten Hag's latest history lesson was a reminder to those United greats now filling the TV studios and commentary boxes that life at Old Trafford wasn't always a bed of roses for them either.
