Erik ten Hag narrowly ‘escapes’ Manchester United sack following INEOS meeting

Erik ten Hag finds himself in a very delicate situation at the club. The Dutchman has failed to bring his side back to winning ways, and with just 8 points from 7 games, Man United find themselves in 14th position. Following the 0-0 draw against Aston Villa earlier this week, many called for the manager to be sacked. Reports also stated that a decision on the manager’s future was imminent.

However, after Sir Jim Ratcliffe, Omar Berrada (CEO) and Dan Ashworth (Sporting director) met to discuss his future, it appears that a decision is yet to be made. Ten Hag will be hoping that the management will choose to give him more time and carry out his ‘project’.

United are without a win in their last five games as well. The Red Devils take on Brentford after the international break, with The Bees coming on the back of a 5-3 win over Wolves.

With Ten Hag seemingly set to remain in charge, rival fans hoped for more poor results and prayed for him to never get sacked in the future. Erik ten Hag joined United in April 2022 and has won the FA Cup and the EFL Cup with the club.

Despite bringing in the lines of Joshua Zirkzee, Noussair Mazraoui, Matthijs de Ligt, and Manuel Ugarte, United still haven’t managed to find a winning formula. The Red Devils are nowhere close to being in the top four and will not be able to do so unless they manage to turn things around quickly. With Erik ten Hag’s position also in doubt, Thomas Tuchel has emerged as a potential replacement.

As the side look to bolster their attack, Christian Pulisic of AC Milan has been identified as a potential target. The former Chelsea man is in electric form this season, and has already scored 6 goals and 2 assists in all competitions. Reports state that the Red Devils are willing to pay up to €55 million for the USMNT star. Besides Pulisic, United are also keeping tabs on Chelsea right-back Ben Chilwell.

United have already spent £205.9 million this season and have managed to attract criticism for their lack of good performances. Ugarte and Zirkzee in particular have been singled out for their poor performances and lack of goals. United have only managed to score five goals in the League while conceding eight.
