- Crunch Week For Erik ten Hag & Manchester United
Reports suggest that Manchester United’s board will decide this week whether to sack Erik ten Hag or let him continue in his role.
The Red devil’s start to the season has been nothing short of disappointing in Erik ten Hag’s third year at the helm. With only two wins in seven Premier League matches, key injuries, and rumors of unrest in the dressing room, it seems fans are in for another frustrating season.
However, this week presents a pivotal moment. If the owners choose to part ways with Erik ten Hag, it could mark the ideal time to reset, and here’s why this moment offers a chance for change.
Perfect Timing
The second international break is an ideal time to change managers. It provides the board with enough time to assess the situation and choose a new interim or permanent manager.
This also gives the board a chance to review the quality of football at Old Trafford this season and decide if they need a new direction
A Fresh Start
A new manager could step in and work with players who have fallen out of favor, giving them a chance to reintegrate into the squad. This would create more competition for places, something every top club welcomes.
Club Project Consideration
This period also offers Manchester United and INEOS an opportunity to refocus on their long-term project. A new or interim manager who aligns with United’s playing philosophy could lead the squad until the season’s end, evaluating which players fit the club’s vision and which do not.
Whatever decision is made this week will significantly shape the rest of Manchester United’s season and impact their 2024/25 campaign, particularly in the Premier League.
