SACK Date Announced – Erik ten Hag risks Man Utd breakdown as four ominous signs suggest days could be numbered
Manchester United’s recent struggles have reignited speculation about Erik ten Hag’s position as the team’s manager, despite three consecutive Premier League wins in November providing temporary relief.
The lackluster performance in a defeat to Newcastle United has raised concerns, with key players showing signs of disconnection.
During the game, a heated touchline exchange between Ten Hag and Anthony Martial hinted at potential friction, with the Frenchman responding passionately to the manager’s attempts to energize him.
Marcus Rashford, on the other hand, seemed unresponsive to Ten Hag’s instructions, raising questions about the communication between the manager and players.
Post-match, Rashford’s visible frustration and the players’ reluctance to acknowledge Ten Hag further fueled speculation.
The squad’s subdued mood was evident when, after the game, most players walked past the manager without acknowledgment, highlighting a potential fracture in unity.
Ten Hag’s bold decisions, including dropping Cristiano Ronaldo, sidelining Jadon Sancho, and demoting Raphael Varane, have added layers of scrutiny.
Facing challenging fixtures against Chelsea, Bayern Munich, and Liverpool, Ten Hag must address these concerns swiftly to secure his position and maintain dressing room harmony.
