Erik ten Hag’s future at Manchester United is hanging by a thread as the club faces mounting pressure after poor performances.
According to ESPN, the Dutchman could be sacked if Manchester United fails to win their upcoming matches. United’s recent 3-0 loss to Tottenham in the Premier League has heightened the pressure, with the club currently in 13th place.
The upcoming Europa League clash against Porto and the Premier League fixture against Aston Villa could decide Ten Hag’s fate.
Sources indicate that only victories in both games might save him from being dismissed. Despite winning the FA Cup last season, Ten Hag’s struggles in the Premier League and Europe have sparked concerns within the club’s hierarchy.
The leadership team, including Jim Ratcliffe, Dave Brailsford, and CEO Omar Berrada, are reportedly prepared to make a change if results don’t improve.
The club has already identified potential replacements, including Gareth Southgate, Thomas Tuchel, and Ruud van Nistelrooy.
UK bookmakers have made Ten Hag the favourite to be the next Premier League manager to lose his job. His future at the club appears uncertain, with many now questioning how long he can hold on.
