Once more, Erik ten Hag’s future is the subject of headlines.
Although it is widely acknowledged that the Dutchman continues to enjoy the support of the Manchester United locker room, an increasing number of players are growing pessimistic that he will remain in command for the upcoming season.
As reported by the Daily Mail, a considerable number of United players hold the belief that new co-owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe and his Ineos Sports group will likely dismiss Ten Hag at the conclusion of the current season.
This indicates that Ten Hag, who has yet to receive Ratcliffe’s public support, may already be facing Ԁire circumstances.
“Although Ten Hag insists he is on the same page as his Ineos sporting director Sir Dave Brailsford and feels aligned with them based on positive conversations, he has disclosed to coaching staff and agents that his future at Old Trafford is not certain,” Chris Wheeler of the Daily Mail reports.
Additionally, the article mentions that Ten Hag may be eligible for a stay if he achieves FA Cup victory and qualifies for the Champions League. Both are substantial demands for a team experiencing a challenging season.
The intensity of Ten Hag’s training regimen has been one of the most frequently voiced concerns in the locker room. Therefore, it is worth considering whether those players will request guarantees that subsequent managers will approach training with a more relaxed approach.
The absence of precision may pose a challenge for Ten Hag. Working in such an environment without the support of those in positions of authority cannot be simple.
In the summer, Erik ten Hag could be fired by Manchester United.
Since May 2022, the 54-year-old has presided over Manchester United at Old Trafford, where he has accumulated a winning record of 60 games.
However, he has also presided over 28 defeats, including Sunday’s 3-1 loss to rivals Manchester City.
Following this outcome, United accumulated a negаtive goal difference through 27 rounds of Premier League matches this season.
United recently incorporated Sir Jim Ratcliffe as a new co-owner subsequent to a $1.5 billiоn investment.
Since then, Ratcliffe and his INEOS Group have been entrusted with the club’s football operations.
United players, as reported by the Daily Mail, hold the belief that Ratcliffe will probably dismiss Ten Hag at the conclusion of the current campaign.
According to reports, Ten Hag continues to enjoy the support of the Old Trafford locker room; however, the squad is of the opinion that the new ownership may wish to replace the Dutchman.
In the event that Ten Hag decides to depart this summer, Graham Potter, Thomas Tuchel, and Ruben Amorim have all been mentioned as potential successors.
United has extended the contract of ten Hag until June 2025. Therefore, should he be terminated at the conclusion of the current campaign, he would be entitled to one year’s salary in compensation.
