Manchester United is in crisis mode as Erik Ten Hag faces pressure to save his job as manager after a poor start to the season. The team has won only two out of seven Premier League games, and remains winless in the Europa League. The club’s controlling co-owner, Sir Jim Ratcliffe, has arrived in Manchester for a meeting with the executive team to discuss Ten Hag’s future. Despite a contract extension and heavy summer spending, Ten Hag’s tenure is at risk.
United’s poor form and the importance of Champions League qualification will be key topics of discussion during the meeting. Ratcliffe has expressed his admiration for Ten Hag but has left the decision-making to the club’s executive team, which includes chief executive Omar Berrada, sporting director Dan Ashworth, and technical director Jason Wilcox. Ten Hag, however, believes that he won’t be sacked and has the backing of the decision-makers at the club.
Ten Hag has been vocal about the team’s progress and spirit, citing character, organization, and togetherness. The Dutch manager remains confident in his abilities and the long-term vision of the team. United’s chances of qualifying for the Champions League are slim, given their poor start to the season, but Ten Hag is determined to turn things around.
The meeting with the executive team will determine whether Ten Hag remains in his position or faces the sack. The billionaire co-owner is focused on bringing United back to their former glory but realizes the decision is in the hands of the management team. Fans are eagerly awaiting the outcome of the meeting and the future direction of the club under Ten Hag’s leadership. Stay tuned for updates on the situation as it develops.
