As Manchester United struggled to secure a victory against Brentford, frustration reached a boiling point among fans, leading to "Ten Hag Out" trending on X, formerly Twitter.

Manager Erik ten Hag's post-match remarks admitting the team's lack of passion and fight only fueled the fire. But fans mostly blamed the Dutch as they found him wanting with his tactics and players' performance management.

Despite a last-minute goal from substitute Mason Mount, United's performance fell short of expectations at the Gtech Community Stadium. Ten Hag conceded that Brentford had outplayed them in terms of aggressiveness, highlighting a glaring lack of desire and intensity from his squad throughout the game.

The draw dealt a severe blow to United's Champions League qualification hopes, especially with competitors Aston Villa and Tottenham securing wins earlier in the day. With crucial fixtures against Chelsea and Liverpool looming, the pressure on Ten Hag intensified as fans voiced concerns about the team's defensive vulnerabilities and inconsistency.

Despite facing criticism for United's porous defense, Ten Hag defended the team's approach, citing tactical decisions and the performance of goalkeeper André Onana. However, with the team conceding 20 or more shots in nine of their last 11 games, questions lingered about their defensive solidity.

As discontent brewed among supporters, calls for Ten Hag's departure gained momentum on social media, reflecting the growing disillusionment with the team's performances under his management. With pivotal matches on the horizon, the spotlight remained firmly on Ten Hag as he faced mounting pressure to address United's shortcomings and salvage their season.
