Despite the desire of Sir Jim Ratcliffe and INEOS to support him, the results are not helping him Eric Ten Haag and the week that has begun is crucial for his future on her bench Manchester United. The home defeat by Tottenham (0-3) dropped the team to twelfth place in the Premier League and the atmosphere is starting to get very heavy for the Dutch coach.
As reported by the Telegraph on Monday morning, yes there is an intention to support the coach from the shareholders, however in the upcoming difficult away games with Porto (3/10) and Aston Villa (6/10) in the Europa League and the league respectively, results and improved performances will be needed, otherwise it is very likely that Ten Haag will be sacked.
However, he does not seem to be worried: “No I’m not afraid for my future, I’m not thinking about that. We all made that decision to stay together, as an ownership, as a leadership team last summer. We also made the decision about what we needed to improve as an organization, but we knew it would take time to make those changes“, Ten Haag emphasized after the match with Tottenham and added:
“We are all in the same boat, the ownership, the leadership team, the staff and the players as well. I don’t have that concern. It is also obvious that you need to learn as a team. It cannot happen twice in four days that an opposing defender dribbles across the area without being stopped».
Erik ten Hag will remain in charge for the Porto and Aston Villa games. Focus remains on supporting the manager, his staff and players but little doubt the pressure is building. A big week for the #MUFC managerhttps://t.co/iKrDq5HSCb
