Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag could be shown in the door if the Red Devils continue to falter this season.
According to a report by TEAMtalk, former Manchester United striker Ruud van Nistelrooy could replace his compatriot Erik ten Hag at Manchester United. The 48-year-old is currently a part of ten Hag’s coaching staff, and it remains to be seen whether he is appointed as the club’s next manager.
Manchester United have picked up just two wins in the Premier League so far, and it is evident that they will not be able to compete with Arsenal or Manchester City for the league title. Despite spending significant sums of money on new additions, Manchester United have not been able to produce the desired results on the pitch.
They brought in five new signings in the summer, and most of those players are yet to live up to the expectations. Ten Hag has had a lot of backing from the Manchester United hierarchy, and it would not be a surprise if they decided to pull the trigger now.
The Dutchman has constantly let the club down, and Manchester United are nowhere near to challenging for major trophies. They missed out on UEFA Champions League qualification last season as well. If they continue to perform like they have done in the recent weeks, they will miss out on Champions League qualification once again.
Ruud van Nistelrooy to take charge?
Meanwhile, Ruud van Nistelrooy could be tempted to manage Manchester United, and it remains to be seen as the situation develops. The 48-year-old is a highly-rated coach, but managing a club like Manchester United could be a massive challenge. They are one of the biggest clubs in the world, and the constant pressure to win trophies is not easy to handle.
Ruud van Nistelrooy is way too inexperienced to manage one of the biggest clubs in the world, and it remains to be seen whether he is handed the responsibility to take Manchester United forward.
Erik ten Hag will probably hope to turn things around at Old Trafford and save if his job in the coming weeks. It remains to be seen whether the players can step up and produce positive results for Manchester United now.
