According to reliable sources from The Times, Manchester United is reportedly considering the possibility of sacking Erik ten Hag. The team, based at Old Trafford, is currently sinking deep into a crisis. Most recently, Manchester United suffered a heavy blоw as they were eliminated from the League Cup, losing 0-3 to Newcastle United.
Manchester United has endured two consecutive defeats with a margin of three goals or more at their home ground of Old Trafford, a feat that hadn’t occurred since October 1962. Meanwhile, Newcastle achieved their most emphatic victory at Manchester United’s stadium since September 1930, with a resounding 7-4 win.
It remаins to be seen whether these reports will come to fruition, but the mounting losses and dismal performances have undoubtedly put the manager’s position under scrutiny at Manchester United. Despite the recent reports suggesting that Manchester United is considering replacing Erik ten Hag, the Dutch manager has affirmed himself as a “warrior” and vowed to improve the club’s situation. After the defeat to Newcastle, which was described as “not good enough,” Ten Hag expressed his determination to turn things around.
However, according to The Times, Manchester United is indeed evaluating the possibility of replacing Ten Hag. High-level sources within the club have begun to believe that the Dutch coach is at rιsk of being sacked.
Reportedly, Ruben Amorim from Sporting Lisbon and Zinedine Zidane are two candidates being considered by Manchester United. It is worth noting that Zidane has been without a job since leaving Real Madrid in May 2021. However, there are suggestions that he may not take up the position at Manchester United due to his limited command of the English language.
