The Red Devils have endured a difficult and less-than-stellar run under Erik ten Hag this season.
After a promising start in 2024 that saw the team relaunch themselves into the top-four race with a six-match unbeaten run, they have stumbled to two straight Premier League defeats against Fulham and cross-city rivals Manchester City.
Pegged back to default settings, United’s top-four hopes is under the wires with Tottenham and Aston Villa showing no sign of slowing down.
Erik ten Hag is coming under intense pressure as Man United’s dwindling fortunes this season show no sign of coming to an end soon.
Meanwhile, a wave of sweeping changes is gradually sweeping through Manchester United’s sporting and footballing operations with Sir Jim Ratcliffe at the helm of affairs.
In a significant move by the UK football investor, Sir Jim poached Omar Berrada from rivals Manchester City to join United as the new CEO.
Proceedings are underway to also bring highly-rated Newcastle United sports director into the frame.
According to Daily Mail, Manchester United players believe Sir Jim Ratcliffe will sack Erik ten Hag at the end of the season. The report adds the feeling in the Man United squad is that the football enthusiast will part ways with ten Hag as the Dutch is yet to convince the INEOS supremo he is the right man for the job.
Sir Jim Ratcliffe refused to clearly address Erik Ten Hag’s future in his first media parley after completing his Man United takeover.
However, Erik ten Hag has insisted he has the backing of the new Man United chief after a positive discussion.
Nevertheless, he has been under pressure with sources close to the INEOS chief disclosing he is more likely to be dismissed with Sir Jim yet to be convinced he is the right partner in his Manchester United transformation agenda.
