Things are not going well for Manchester United and their manager, Erik ten Hag.
The Red Devils have endured a difficult start to the 2023/24 season. They lost five of their opening ten Premier League games with the recent embarrassing display at the Manchester derby.
Both of their first two UEFA Champions League matches also ended in defeats, twice throwing away the lead as they lost 3-2 at home to Galatasaray after a 4-3 opening loss away to Bayern Munich.
With the growing unrest within the club, do you think Ten Hag’s job might be in danger as things stands?
Despite the improvements we saw in his Manchester United side last season and even topping it with the Carabao cup trophy, Manchester United has experienced a great decline this season, it’s more worrying when you consider the fact that they spent over 200 million pounds to strengthen the squad over the summer. The strings of results he’s been producing lately is unacceptable at a club like Manchester United. He needs to turn it around as soon as possible before things gets out of hand.
Manchester United players are beginning to question Erik ten Hag’s tactics for the first time following their 3-0 derby defeat against Manchester City.
The Dutchman made his players sit in silence in the changing room at Old Trafford and listen to City’s celebrations at full time.
Manchester United may reportedly be giving growing consideration to sacking Erik ten Hag as their manager after an awful start to the season. The Dutch tactician has overseen the club’s worst start to a campaign since before Sir Alex Ferguson’s time at Old Trafford, and reports in the Netherlands now suggest that Feyenoord boss Arne Slot could be in line to replace him.
According to 1908.nl, Slot is continuing to enhance his reputation as a rising star in management, having already attracted strong interest from Tottenham in the summer before deciding to stay at Feyenoord.
Slot looks like he could be an upgrade on Ten Hag, who was perhaps a little lucky to win the Carabao Cup last season in what was otherwise a pretty disappointing campaign.
