    'A catalogue of errors and misplaced faith'

    Manchester United's decision to sack Erik ten Hag is the correct one - but only highlights the folly of the decision to reluctantly keep faith with him in the summer. Once clubs start talking to other managers, as Manchester United did, it is obvious they do not have full trust in the incumbent and the credits are rolling unless they pull out a remarkable run of results. The dysfunction at the heart of Old Trafford meant they not only kept Ten Hag but extended his contract and then allowed him bring in more players he knew without any improvement, such as Joshua Zirkzee, Matthijs de Ligt, Noussair Mazraoui and latterly Manuel Ugarte from Paris St-Germain.
