With Manchester United’s recent poor run of form on the back of their disappointing season last year, speculation is once more surrounding Erik ten Hag’s future at Old Trafford, with Fabrizio Romano now weighing in on the situation.
The Dutchman managed to retain his job at the end of last season, with Sir Jim Ratcliffe giving him a vote of confidence. However, once again ten Hag is in a position of relying on the support of the United bosses to keep his job.
It’s been reported recently that the Dutchman has the remaining two games before the international break to get some results to save his job, however, the query is being raised by several ex-players and pundits as to what a win in the next two matches would prove.

Reports have linked managers like Simone Inzaghi and Graham Potter to the role as potential replacements for ten Hag, but transfer expert Fabrizio Romano is saying something different.
Fabrizio Romano comments on the United manager situation
The journalist has reported that despite these rumours, the United directors are currently still opting to stand by their man and back ten Hag for the foreseeable future.
Speaking on the Here We Go podcast, Romano has announced that the last time United held conversations with another manager was in the summer before extending ten Hag’s contract, keeping him at the club.
The reporter said: “In this moment, Manchester United are not in conversations with any other coach. So we already had some rumours about potential candidates, but I can guarantee that today [Monday], the last conversation Man United board had with a different manager was Thomas Tuchel in the summer.”
He continued: “When they considered changing the manager, they then decided to continue with Erik ten Hag. You remember that Thomas Tuchel was one of the strong candidates for the Manchester United job.
“Then nothing happened there. But since that moment, I think it was end of May, beginning of June. Since that moment, Manchester United have not spoken to any other managers. There are no conversations ongoing.
“And this is showing how Manchester United are still trusting Erik ten Hag. But again, results are going to be important.”
