Tragic news has been announced about Eric Ten Hag this morning – Manchester United fans can’t bear it! It’s over! 😱 – Jamie Carragher announced

Paul Merson believes Erik ten Hag’s tenure at Manchester United could be at risk after just three more matches, with reports indicating that half of the squad has lost confidence in his leadership.

Manchester United has already suffered 10 defeats in 21 games this season, and according to Sky Sports, dissatisfaction among the players regarding Ten Hag’s tactics is on the rise. TEAMtalk had earlier pointed out these concerns in November.

The team’s key players have been underperforming, and Ten Hag seems unable to resolve persistent issues. Although club officials have not publicly addressed the situation, recent reports hint at a possible change in attitude. Sky Sports’ chief reporter, Kaveh Solhekol, mentioned that approximately half of the squad is unhappy with Ten Hag’s tactical approach and his management of certain players, particularly Jadon Sancho.

Senior players are reportedly dissatisfied with both the results and the training methods. Manchester United is experiencing its worst start to a season in 51 years, further escalating the pressure on Ten Hag.

Gary Neville has voiced his disappointment with the team’s performances, and the Daily Mirror suggests that Ten Hag has three games to prove himself. United is set to face Chelsea and Bournemouth at home, followed by a tough Champions League clash against Bayern Munich.

Merson is doubtful that Ten Hag will remain in his position beyond these matches, especially if the team fails to secure victories. He described United’s recent performances as “embarrassing,” particularly their lackluster showing against Newcastle.

Despite the challenges, Ten Hag remains resolute, expressing confidence in the team’s resilience and his ability to turn the situation around. However, BBC pundit Alan Shearer has hinted that Ten Hag’s job could be in jeopardy once Sir Jim Ratcliffe finalizes his 25% acquisition of the club. Shearer believes that new ownership often brings managerial changes and points to ongoing issues within the squad.

Both Shearer and Merson are skeptical about a quick resolution to Manchester United’s current problems, emphasizing the gravity of the situation.
