After Sunday’s derby loss to rivals City, Manchester United lost 3-1, and manager Erik ten Hag appears to be out of time.
After Sunday’s derby loss to Manchester City, Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag appears less and less likely to stay at Old Trafford for the upcoming campaign. A former Dutch international has pointed out the main problem with the 54-year-old’s term. Marcus Rashford gave United the lead early in the derby, but City rallied in the second half to win 3-1 thanks to goals from Phil Foden twice and Erling Haaland in stoppage time at the Etihad. Ten Hag’s team is now in sixth position in the Premier League, two points ahead of West Ham and eleven behind Aston Villa in fourth place, following United’s 11th defeat of the season. It would now require a little miracle for United to make it into the Champions League with just 11 games left, and it is believed that Sir Jim Ratcliffe, who took over the football operations at Old Trafford in the summer, has opted to make a managerial change.
Numerous names have already been connected, including current Brighton manager Roberto De Zerbi, former Real Madrid coach Zinedine Zidane, and former Chelsea managers Thomas Tuchel and Graham Potter. Wim Kieft, a former striker for the Netherlands, has shared his perspective on his countryman’s issues at Old Trafford. Ten Hag’s main problem, according to Kieft’s piece in The Telegraaf, is that he hasn’t been able to apply his playing philosophy at United. “Ten Hag did not manage to get his way of playing at United,” he stated in a letter.
“The football at Manchester United is still not worth watching and that is why I expect Ten Hag to be in his last year. “In addition, the working atmosphere of United is entirely different from that of City. There’s a real football culture, a particular vibe among the neighbors, and everything at the top looks like a team.” “United hasn’t had a team like that for a long time,” he continued. That club must be experiencing a major problem.”
