đ¨BREAKING: Tragic news has been announced about Eric Ten Hag this morning â Manchester United fans canât bear it! Itâs over! â Jamie Carragher announced
Erik ten Hagâs tenure at Manchester United could be under threat, with reports suggesting that he may be dismissed after just three more matches. Paul Merson believes the situation is critical, especially as half the squad is reportedly losing faith in the managerâs tactics.
Manchester United has already lost 10 of 21 matches this season, and according to Sky Sports, discontent is growing among the players regarding Ten Hagâs management. This issue was first highlighted by TEAMtalk earlier in November. Some players, including senior members, are dissatisfied with the results and training methods, and Jadon Sanchoâs handling has only added to the frustration.
Manchester United is currently experiencing its worst start to a season in 51 years, and this has increased pressure on Ten Hag. Despite no official comment from the club, there are signs that the board may be reconsidering their stance. About 50% of the squad is reportedly disillusioned with the managerâs methods.
The next three matchesâagainst Chelsea and Bournemouth at home, followed by Bayern Munich in the Champions Leagueâare seen as decisive for Ten Hagâs future. According to Merson, failure to win these games could lead to his departure, with recent performances against Newcastle described as âembarrassing.â
Despite these challenges, Ten Hag remains determined to turn things around. However, BBC pundit Alan Shearer believes that Ten Hagâs job could be in jeopardy, particularly if Sir Jim Ratcliffe completes his acquisition of 25% of the club, as new ownership often brings changes to the management team. Both Shearer and Merson are skeptical about a quick solution for the clubâs struggles, highlighting the deep-rooted problems within the squad.Erik ten Hag’s position as Manchester United manager appears increasingly precarious, with mounting pressure from within the club and among pundits. Reports suggest that his tenure could be in jeopardy if results do not improve in the next three matches. Manchester United’s dismal start to the season, their worst in 51 years, has led to growing dissatisfaction among the squad, with around half reportedly losing faith in Ten Hag’s tactics and training methods.
This discontent, first reported by TEAMtalk and echoed by Sky Sports, includes senior players who are unhappy with the team’s poor performances and the handling of situations like Jadon Sancho’s fallout with the manager. Paul Merson has highlighted that these issues could be decisive, especially given the team’s recent humiliating defeat to Newcastle.
The upcoming matches against Chelsea, Bournemouth, and Bayern Munich are critical for Ten Hag’s future at the club. If Manchester United fails to secure positive results, Ten Hag could face dismissal. Pundits like Alan Shearer and Merson also believe that the club’s potential partial takeover by Sir Jim Ratcliffe could expedite Ten Hag’s departure, as new ownership often brings changes in management. Despite the turmoil, Ten Hag remains committed to reversing the club’s fortunes, though the skepticism surrounding a quick turnaround is growing.
