To be fair, this is a pretty vapid statement.
The first coach United appointed after Fergie was Scottish. He failed and was sacked. They have had foreign coaches since then. Who have failed and been sacked.
Ten Hag was not a case of them thinking, "I know, this foreign coach will solve all our problems". Were either of the first two defeats attributable to having a coach born outside of England?
As a kid growing up the 90s and having everyone in my town bolt on to Untied for obvious reasons, I am not having the same crisis of confidence as Cuttooth had last week about feeling sorry for United, but not sure your statement stands up to even the flimsiest scrutiny.
I'm not sure the nationality of the Head Coach in the job at United has had much bearing on anything. When Brentford's fourth goal went in tonight, did fans clasp their hands and think, "it was the hospital our coach was born in what done it"?
Also the coach who beat United tonight was Danish.
