Erik ten Hag is now under significant pressure at Manchester United.
After a poor start to the 2023/24 season and no wins in three games, fans are growing increasingly impatient.
Despite the club spending over £600 million during his tenure, there still appears to be a lack of defined style and clear patterns of play on the pitch.
This should now be apparent in what is meant to be ten Hag’s team.
Morale looks low, and a 3-0 home loss to Tottenham Hotspur has only intensified the scrutiny.
As Laurie Whitwell reported for The Athletic, “Privately, those in charge are echoing ten Hag’s sentiments – that altering the infrastructure and working practices at the club was the main priority when INEOS arrived, and patience is required to allow that to bed in and see results.”
However, if results don’t improve soon, it’s thought that INEOS may be forced to act.
With ten Hag’s contract extension over the summer, releasing him now would reportedly cost Manchester United £17.5 million.
This financial factor is likely weighing heavily on INEOS’s considerations, as they aim to avoid appearing like they’ve made their first major misstep.
Still, with Erik ten Hag struggling, INEOS will undoubtedly be assessing potential replacements.
Here are five managers from whom we believe the next manager will be if a change is made.
