The future of Erik ten Hag is still uncertain, and rumours have it that the Manchester United team feels its manager has given up on being fired at the conclusion of the current campaign. Ten Hag has a lot of work left in this season, so it doesn’t look good if he’s already given up. Even if United isn’t in the running for the FA Cup, we are still in the chase for a Champions League qualifying berth.
Ten Hag needs another trophy, just what he needs. Although the results may not be great, their performances would provide a different impression, and I believe the players are still committed to Ten Hag.
The Sun claims that a number of players believe Ten Hag has accepted his fate as the team’s manager at the conclusion of the campaign after seeing a shift in the Dutch manager’s attitude. Prior to their trip to Bournemouth on Saturday, United is now sixth in the Premier League standings. We have only won once in the last six games, leaving us 11 points below fourth place. If only we had won those victories against Brentford and Chelsea.
Ten Hag would be insane if United fired him.
Who else is present? According to the article, Graham Potter, the former manager of Brighton and Chelsea, is expected to take over after a meeting with Sir Jim Ratcliffe. Other sources expect the likes of Julian Nagelsmann or Gareth Southgate to take over from Ten Hag if he is fired.
Will we overlook the reality that Ten Hag’s first season was a major overachievement after an injury-plagued season that was a write-off?
United also need a certain level of stability throughout all of the planned changes by Ineos. Ten Hag deserves at least one more summer to get things right, particularly with a true football framework being constructed around him, and Potter doesn’t really excite him.”Players have spotted Ten Hag’s change of mood, suggesting he knows the axe will fall,” asserts the article’s author, Neil Custis.
