Manchester United fans loved seeing Erik ten Hag ‘activate Heisenberg mode’ as he raged furiously at his players during their Premier League win against Sheffield United on Saturday
Manchester United fans ‘loved’ Erik ten Hag raging at his players during their Premier League win away at Sheffield United on Saturday.
United picked up a huge three points to semi-release the pressure valve on Ten Hag, who would’ve only seen more questions asked about him and his team should they have failed to beat the side bottom of the table. Scott McTominay opened the scoring before Oliver McBurnie levelled just six minutes later from the spot.
But Diogo Dalot’s whipped effort from 25-yards found the top corner and gave United a lead to defend for the final 15 minutes at Bramall Lane. The gravity of three points clearly showed on the United boss as he was spotted furiously shouting at one of his players.
In added time at Bramall Lane, Ten Hag was seen screaming at one United player to focus, seemingly aiming his anger at Mason Mount, as the enraged Dutchman appeared to shout: “Mason, Mason! Hey! Track back!”
And fans quickly reacted to Ten Hag. One said on Twitter: “Ten Hag losing his rag, and I’m here for it.” A second compared him to Breaking Bad’s Walter White, whose alias is Heisenberg, commenting: “Dude finally activated his Heisenberg mode, he just needs a pair of glasses at this point.”
A third wrote: “This is what I want to see.” While a fourth added: “He’s been holding it in for years.”
As Sir Jim Ratcliffe looks to conclude his £1.4billion investment and 25% stake at Old Trafford, some believe that Ten Hag is already on borrowed time should Ratcliffe take charge of the footballing side of the club, as he intends to.
Since taking control of Ligue 1 side Nice ahead of the 2019/20 season, Ratcliffe has sacked five managers, including one interim boss, during his time at the French Riviera side – averaging under one year per appointment.
Therefore, Ten Hag may need to put together a run of results to possibly avoid the sack from Ratcliffe should he be installed at the club. Potentially sparking more Heinsberg-style rages as the pressure mounts.
