After the heavy humiliation against Tottenham, at Old Trafford (0-3), Erik ten Hag is more than ever in danger and has himself mentioned the possibility of being dismissed by Manchester United.
The Erik ten Hag saga has restarted for this new season. Already in the hot seat throughout last season, the Dutch technician had finally been kept on by Jim Ratcliffe and the new Manchester management for this new season.
But due to a delicate transfer window and executives who are not delivering, Manchester United is in the soft underbelly of the Premier League and, this Sunday, the heavy humiliation against Tottenham, at Old Trafford (0-3), already seems to be one too many for Ten Hag, more criticized than ever.
Erik ten Hag is not disturbed
Most of the British media are calling for Erik ten Hag to leave and do not hesitate to violently criticize the 54-year-old manager. “The truth is that Ten Hag has no more excuses. His time has come. He has nowhere to hide. His boasting about the minor trophies he has won is worthless when his team plays like this,” wrote the Daily Mail heavily in its edition of the day. But the Mancunian manager explained himself on a possible departure, after many questions during his press conference.
“I am not thinking about a departure. We all made the decision in the summer to stay together, as an owner, as a management group. We also made the decision, after a clear analysis, of what we need to improve and how we want to build a team. But we knew that it would take time, depending on how the transfer window goes, some players who arrived late like Ugarte. We still have some injuries, we need time. We are all on the same wavelength or in the same boat, the directors, the staff and the players as well. “I don’t have that worry,” he tried to explain, but for some, his chance has passed.
