Three years ago, Manchester United manager, Erik ten Hag talked about eras coming to an end in his first press conference as Red Devils’ boss. However, with the turn out of recent results, it appears the Dutchman may have foreshadowed his own future in his first presser as Man United’s manager.
Erik ten Hag’s Manchester United reign according to new reports, may be hanging by a thread, as insiders at Old Trafford reportedly grow increasingly concerned with his tactical approach.
After another disappointing start to the season, the Dutch manager is now facing mounting pressure to deliver immediate results or risk being shown the door.

Current view of Manchester United chiefs on Ten Hag
Despite United’s heavy summer spending spree, Ten Hag’s side has struggled, with two defeats in their first three matches—highlighted by a humiliating 3-0 loss to Liverpool. Now, sources claim that the Ineos-led football department is watching closely, and if Ten Hag doesn’t start delivering dominant performances soon, his job could be on the line.
With nine games in six weeks after the international break, including tricky fixtures against Tottenham, Porto, and Fenerbahce, Erik ten Hag is entering a crucial period.
These reports seem to be compounded in part by the result of last season, with Manchester United finishing 8th and having the glory of beating neighbors, Manchester City in the FA Cup final to salvage the team’s season and image as a top side.
Can Erik ten Hag turn things around before time runs out? Or will United’s top brass be forced to pull the plug on their managerial gamble?
