Erik ten Hag is gradually losing the support of those who have stood by the under-fire manager.
With Manchester United winless in five games, including a heavy defeat to Spurs and squandering a 2-0 lead against FC Porto, a decision looms.
A recent hard-fought draw at Villa Park offered some glimpses of improvement.
However, while it displayed resilience, it also reflected a step back from ten Hag’s identity, raising potential doubts in the Dutchman’s mind.
Although the narrative of ten Hag having just one game to save his job is likely exaggerated, the Villa match may have marked a turning point in his tenure, as his identity has never fully taken off at United.
Notably, Manchester United’s bench against Villa was valued at over £400 million.
This was largely composed of ten Hag’s own signings.
Failure in the transfer market, paired with struggles on the pitch, hardly constitutes a sustainable growth model.
Erik ten Hag has repeatedly affirmed that he feels secure in his position, stating after the Villa match, “We are all on board, together, on one page. We know what we’re working towards; it’s a long-term project, and we must keep improving the process.”
Yet, with the international break approaching and Manchester United’s decision-makers holding meetings this week and with Sir Jim Ratcliffe is also reported to be wanting a change.
Erik ten Hag’s future is certain to be a topic of discussion.
Here are five reasons why ten Hag will be sacked during the international break.
