Sack him tonight or face huge consequences – Manchester United new owner now want Eric Ten Hag sacked tonight and is set to be replaced with three times Champions League Winner
Manchester United is under more and more pressure to fire manager Erik ten Hag after a string of poor performances and results. Three major problems with his management style are being looked at closely.
United’s latest embarrassing loss to Bournemouth, in which they gave up three goals without answering, showed how bad things are for the team under Ten Hag’s leadership.
With the club’s eleventh loss in 23 games across all competitions this season, calls for change have gotten stronger, especially since Sir Jim Ratcliffe is about to take over some of the club’s operations.
As Ratcliffe gets ready to buy a 25% stake in the club, big changes are likely to happen, such as CEO Richard Arnold leaving and John Murtough, who is in charge of football, possibly being exposed.
There has been talk about several high-profile players leaving, including Raphael Varane, Casemiro, and Jadon Sancho. Now, everyone is talking about the boss situation.
Ratcliffe’s initial share may not directly threaten Ten Hag’s position, but Danny Murphy, a former football player, has been vocal about Ten Hag’s flaws.
Murphy pointed out three big problems with Ten Hag’s management in a column for the Daily Mail: poor recruitment, problems with keeping people motivated, and tactical flaws.
Murphy says that Ten Hag is not the right person to lead Manchester United back to the top of English football if they want to do that.
He stresses that the team hasn’t made any progress under Ten Hag and that they may have even gotten worse, which can be seen in how they play on the game.
Murphy recognises that the club has larger systemic problems and that each player is responsible for their own actions, but he holds Ten Hag accountable for hiring choices and the team’s motivational problems.
He also doubts Ten Hag’s technical knowledge and says that United needs to get better at this if they want to do well.
Murphy doesn’t like Ten Hag, but he thinks it’s best to be careful about firing him. He wants a clear succession plan before making any management changes.
Murphy says it’s important not to make the same mistakes again by talking about times when United hired interim managers quickly without thinking about the long run.
