British media ‘Team Talk’ reported on the 11th (Korea time) that “Manchester United boardzin met to discuss coach Ten Hach’s future and he was informed that the next two games would be important in determining his future.”
Ten Hag, who led the Netherlands to the Eredivisie title at Ajax in the 2018/19 season and the UEFA Champions League semifinals, joined Manchester United in the summer of 2022. He followed through on his first season. Ten Hag’s Manchester United secured a place in the UEFA Champions League by ranking third in the league in the 2022/23 season. In the League Cup, he beat Newcastle United 2-0.
Since then, he expected his team to keep winning games, but the situation started to falter last season. Since the inauguration of the EPL in 1992, Manchester United has ranked eighth, the worst in its history. The team was eliminated from the group league in the UEFA Champions League. At least, the team beat Manchester City to win the FA Cup, and successfully achieved the feat. Ten Hag, who lifted the trophy of the FA Cup, extended his contract until 2026.
Manchester United Vodgin gave Ten Hach another chance, but the situation got worse this season. Manchester United has plummeted to 14th place in the league with two wins, two draws and three losses (eight points). It is only five points shorter than Crystal Palace, which is ranked 18th in the relegation zone.
Manchester United Boardjin met in London on the 8th as the situation became serious. We discussed for seven hours, but we couldn’t reach a conclusion. Ten Hag is likely to continue to lead Manchester United after the A-match break.
Ten Hag’s crisis is not over yet, although he has overcome the crisis. According to “Team Talk,” Ten Hag has been told that his next few matches could be his last, depending on the outcome. Manchester United will play an EPL home game against Brentford on Wednesday. Six days later, Manchester United will have a showdown with Jose Mourinho’s Fenerbahce in the Europa League.
Meanwhile, Thomas Tuchel and Graham Potter are being considered as possible replacements for Ten Hag. Tuchel won the UEFA Champions League and 꽁머니 League title at Chelsea, but only ranked third in the league at Bayern Munich last season. Potter was sacked after failing at Chelsea.
