Man Utd fans threaten to hit Ten Hag if they keep De Gea
"If Coach Ten Hag approves De Gea to sign a new contract after tonight, I will hit his bald head," one Man Utd fan wrote on Twitter after watching the home team's 0-3 defeat on the pitch. of Sevilla on the evening of April 20.
"You can't protect De Gea and Maguire anymore," another commented. "De Gea was once a club legend, but he doesn't deserve a new contract. And Maguire deserves to be sent off immediately. The season is falling apart."
After winning the first leg at Old Trafford last week, Man Utd is confident as a guest of Sevilla - the team is in fluctuating form, shown by 13th place in La Liga this season. However, consecutive mistakes in the defense cost the English team. Right in the 8th minute, from a difficult pass from goalkeeper David De Gea, Maguire lost the ball, allowing Youssef En-Nesyri to escape to score the opener for Sevilla. In the 47th minute, De Gea could not neutralize Loic Bade's header even though the ball was not too strong. In the 81st minute, the Spanish goalkeeper extended the disaster with a broken control outside the penalty area, helping En-Nesyri shoot into an empty goal to seal a 3-0 victory.
According to the Sun, many fans advised Man Utd to let Maguire, De Gea and Jadon Sancho - who did not play well and was substituted after the first half - to stay in Spain, instead of returning to England with the team. One person asked "Does De Gea play propeller diving?" about the 81st minute situation, while others suggested that Maguire and De Gea were fighting for the title of greatest clown.
The contract between De Gea and Man Utd will expire in June 2023. The two sides are negotiating an extension, but no agreement has been reached. The mistake in the defeat to Sevilla could put De Gea in a worse position if negotiations continue.
Maguire is likely to have no future at Man Utd either. Yesterday, he was only able to start because two main defenders, Raphael Varane and Lisandro Martinez, were injured.
This season, Man Utd won the League Cup. On April 23, Ten Hag's teachers and students will play the FA Cup semi-final against Brighton. If they win, they will go to the final to meet the winner of the Man City - Sheffield United pair. The English Premier League is the only arena left for Man Utd to win tickets to the Champions League. "Red Devils" are ranked third with 59 points after 30 games, six points ahead of fifth-placed Tottenham and played one less game.
