Critics are raining down on Erik ten Hag. Manchester United are 14th in the English Championship and have not won since September 17, in the League Cup, against Barnsley (7-0). Since then, the Red Devils have had three draws against Crystal Palace (0-0), Twente (1-1) then Porto in the Europa League (3-3), as well as a humiliating defeat against Tottenham at Old Trafford (0- 3). More than disappointing results for the new strongman, Jim Ratcliffe, who spent even more than €200 million in the summer transfer window.
“I’m not thinking about leaving. We all made the decision this summer to stay together, as an owner, as a management group. We also made the decision of what we need to improve and how we want to build a team. But we knew it would take time.”analyzed the Dutch coach. This Sunday, Manchester United travels to Aston Villa for the 7th day of the Premier League and the English press announces that Erik ten Hag will surely be sacked in the event of another defeat at the end of this match .
Tension between Van Nistelrooy and Ten Hag
We then learned that the Mancunian board was looking to replace him and the names of Simone Inzaghi and Gareth Southgate had been mentioned. But according to information from MirrorRuud van Nistelrooy, current Manchester United assistant, will be offered the job on an interim basis if Ten Hag is fired. However, Van Nistelrooy is worried about being seen as the man who betrayed Erik ten Hag since this situation would not please the ex-Ajax coach.
The English publication specifies that there is a certain tension on the side of Ten Hag on this subject, because Van Nistelrooy would have been recruited by INEOS as a deputy to ensure the continuation of his compatriot, he who has already had experience of a season with PSV Eindhoven. The climate is very tense on the Manchester side, while Jim Ratcliffe, who refused to discuss the dismissal of Erik ten Hag, is already looking for a viable alternative for next summer.
