Listen, we are the same guys, we are the same players, he is the same manager that I knew in Ajax, he will not change in one or two years.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I am not here to back him, because he\u2019s big enough to [back himself]. Last season, he was fantastic for him. So, it\u2019s just a bad season.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;So for me, last season I was the best, so for this season, we have a different goalkeeper? No, it\u2019s the same guy. He\u2019s just facing difficult situations, and we are big enough to accept the reality, because if we want to make things well, we have to accept the reality and we have to go [in on the] front foot.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;So, I think he\u2019s the same manager.

Only bottom side Sheffield United (678) faced more shots than Ten Hag\u2019s side in 2023\/24 (667).<\/p>\n<p>To put this in some greater context, they&#8217;ve conceded more shots this season than any other Premier League campaign. Since Opta started recording data in 2003-04, they&#8217;ve never eclipsed the 600 barrier with only two seasons above 500 (511 in 2021-22, 506 in 2011-12).<\/p>\n<p>Given United&#8217;s immense size and the attention it garners, numerous pundits and former players are eager to share their opinions.
