'We are building something': Erik ten Hag pleads for patience from Man United fans

Under-fire Erik ten Hag pleaded for fans to stay patient after misfiring Manchester United blew a late lead against relegation-threatened Burnley at an unhappy Old Trafford.
Things have gone off the boil since United won the Carabao Cup, reached the FA Cup final and finished third in the Premier League during a promising first season under the Dutchman.
United are scrapping for Europa League qualification having already blown their Champions League hopes, with May’s FA Cup final against Manchester City offering a chance to end a poor campaign on a high.

I am dutch but I am very surprised he got that job and even more surprised that Liverpool now too has a Dutch coach. Am I missing something here? Weird choices both of them. I smell a serious lack of ambition in hiring unproven and inexperienced managers from a tiny league on the cheap. Clearly the best coaches come from Spain or Spanish speaking countries like Argentina for example. Looking at the top 4 of the English Premier League it is crystal clear that they have an edge. See also Bournemouth who punch well above their weight sitting in 10 th with one of the smallest budgets in the PL. Guess what, they are managed by a Spanish coach.

Mr Hag, there's about as much truth in you saying 'We are building something' as there was when you claimed you can beat anyone.
