A brilliant picture shows West Ham bubbles literally bursting on Erik ten Hag’s head during the win over Man United.
David Moyes and Erik ten Hag were both managers under pressure at West Ham and Manchester United respectively this week.
But following West Ham’s comfortable 2-0 win over Man United that has eased on the Scot and ramped up on the Dutchman in the Red Devils hotseat.
Ten Hag has faced a barrage of criticism not just for the result at West Ham but his reaction to it.
Brilliant picture bubbles literally bursting on Erik ten Hag’s head
The Man United boss came out and claimed his side dominated the Hammers and only lost because of lapses in concentration.
But while Alejandro Garnacho did spurn a good chance, the statistics are there for all to see in black and white.
West Ham had 12 shots to Man United’s 11 and five on target to their three.
Yes Man United had more possession and passes but that is nothing unusual for West Ham, who are unashamedly and unapologetically a counter-attacking team.
The Hammers are famous for their bubbles and they were flying high in the sky at the London Stadium.
A picture paints a thousand words
But the bubble looks to have burst for Ten Hag and Man United. Quite literally.
Because a brilliant picture shows the West Ham bubbles literally bursting on Ten Hag’s head during the win over Man United.
They say a picture paints a thousand words.
And this wonderfully captured and timed image of the beleaguered Man United boss above, taken by photographer Charlotte Wilson, is almost poetic.
Poetry in motion
West Ham boss Moyes knows more than anyone what Ten Hag is going through as he’s been there, done that and got the wrinkles to show for it.
After a decent season last term, the Dutchman looked like he might be the man to succeed where Moyes failed at Old Trafford.
But it seems Ten Hag’s Man United bubble truly did burst at West Ham on December 23rd 2023 – in more ways than one.
