Manchester United’s Misery
Most clubs would have sacked Ten Hag at that point, but he’s inexplicably held onto his post for another 12 months as United have been struggling. The INEOS group, who completed a minority takeover at the club in December. They are handling the on-pitch part of Manchester United. Ten Hag signed a new two-year contract he simply did not deserve. And, just two months into the 2024-25 campaign, fans and pundits across the country are calling for Erik Ten Hag to be sacked by Manchester United
United are 12th right now with three defeats and a draw in first 6 league matches. Seven points from 18 in the league, a goal difference of -3, with only five scored. The latest Team to humiliate United was Tottenham at Old Trafford. There was no reaction from the hosts, who could barely string two passes together and neglected to press as a team once again. The team Ten Hag sent out against Ange Postecoglou’s visitors was arguably his strongest. In Højlund’s absence, Ten Hag might have considered sweet-talking Rashford into moving inside from his preferred wide berth.
Loosing the players
In his post-match press conference, Ten Hag addressed the mounting speculation over his future, telling reporters: “I am not thinking about this. We have to make some improvement in [the overarching] organisation. we still have some injuries, we need some time. We are all on one page or in one boat together, the ownership, the staff and the players as well. I don’t have that concern.” The United boss is still suggesting that the players are failing to execute his plan. Ignoring the fact his plan – whatever that may be – is inherently flawed.
Erik Ten Hag sinnings
Ten Hag has spent over £600 million ($805m) on 15 permanent signings since moving to the club. With huge sums lavished on the likes of Antony (£80m), Rasmus Højlund (£72m). Mason Mount (£55m), Manuel Ugarte (£50m) and Joshua Zirkzee (£36.5m).
Manchester United have not sacked Erik Ten Hag as of now but our prediction is he will be gone by the end of October this year.
