The pressure on Erik Ten Hag is reaching boiling point, and according to recent reports, Manchester United’s owners are now ‘considering alternatives’ to the Dutchman.
An abysmal start to the season see United stuck way down in eighth in the Premier League with just 15 points after 10 games.
Not only has the side’s league form struggled, but elimination from the Carabao Cup, a competition they won last season, against Newcastle United on Wednesday night epitomised the club’s decline during a season which should have seen them kick on.
There are also major concerns in Europe. Having lost two of their first three Champions League group games, the Red Devils are a long way off reaching the competition’s knockout rounds.
And with suggestions Ten Hag is losing the United dressing room (TEAMtalk), the pressure is undoubtedly beginning to mount.
In fact, according to a recent report from The Times, United’s senior hierarchy are now pondering the Dutchman’s departure with two names under consideration.
Sporting Lisbon’s Ruben Amorim is thought to be a strong candidate to succeed Ten Hag with French superstar Zinedine Zidane also on the club’s shortlist.
The club’s potential 25 per cent sale to Sir Jim Ratcliffe is complicating matters though. Until the British billionaire officially confirms his ownership stake, the uncertainty surrounding Ten Hag and his future in the Old Trafford dugout is likely to continue.
Sorry but sacking Ten Hag won’t be enough to fix this mess and no other manager will be able to solve it either. There are so many players who under performed for Ole, Jose, Rangnick and even Van Gaal. Why would anyone believe they will perform for another manager. Fact is thanks to Woodward and Arnold we have too many average players on superstar wages. And until we sort out the financial mess the club is in nothing is going to change
Take for example a player like Martial, why is he still at manu? Poor signing of players is a major factor to manu decay. The glaziers are not got to even own a successful cattle dip!!
Zidane will not go to United. No world class manager wants that shit show
The biggest threat in Man Utd is its outside speculative news and Glazier’s stay at united… United needs reformation. Sheikh Jassim would fix it. I don’t see any positive outcome from Jim 🐁 cliff
Long may this mess continue .. 😁YNWA
They should appoint a new manager and sell the old players.
All what needs to be done is too play the players in their position, instead of playing them out of position. ..he ETH needs to learn how to substitute players…BRUNO FOR MOUNT/MCTOMINY FOR MAAINO/PELESTRI FOR DIALLO/ANTONY. …..ETC,HOW DOES HE ETH GET IT RIGHT TO PLAY BRUNO ON THE WING VS (MAN CITY) WHEN YOU HAVE ANTONY ON THE BENCH???play let ANTONY /garnacho start for 5/7 games than they’ll rediscover their form and let rashford compete with rasmus up front….rashford is used to making runs from brunos passes in the middle,we need the BRUNO and RASH combination if we want goals scored,😡 rashford is finding it difficult from the wing as his used to brunos through balls. …
This must have been leaked before the game they won at Fulham.
