Manchester United are reportedly looking to part ways with Erik ten Hag at the end of the season, with Sir Jim Ratcliffe ready to drop the axe.
A report from TEAMtalk has claimed that Manchester United are now close to making a final decision on the future of Erik ten Hag. The Dutch tactician has failed to get the best out of his players this season, and Manchester United have had a mediocre campaign by their standards.
Manchester United were expected to compete for major trophies this season, and Erik ten Hag was backed heavily during the summer transfer window. He has failed to get the best out of his new signings, and the Red Devils have not been able to grind out results on the pitch either. It will be interesting to see who they bring in as the Dutchman’s replacement.
They have been linked with a number of managers in recent months, including Antonio Conte. There is no doubt that Manchester United have an impressive squad at their disposal. With a few quality additions, they could easily challenge for major trophies in the upcoming seasons.
Things have not gone according to plan for Erik ten Hag
The Dutchman guided Manchester United to a top-three finish last season, and he helped them win a domestic trophy as well. Many would have expected him to guide Manchester United to a title challenge this season. Instead, the Red Devils are now in real danger of missing out on Champions League qualification.
It will be interesting to see how the situation develops over the next few weeks. Manchester United will have to bounce back strongly and finish the season on a high for the Dutchman to hold on to his job.
Manchester United are one of the biggest clubs in the world, and missing out on the Champions League would be a devastating blow for them. It would also be a major blow to their revenues. Manchester United will hope to sign quality players in the summer, and they cannot hope to attract the top players without the lure of European football.
