Erik ten Hag has been told that he is a ‘dead man walking’ at Manchester United, with Sir Jim Ratcliffe likely to make a move.
Ten Hag is under increased pressure ahead of the new year after their most recent subpar performance, a 2-0 loss against West Ham over the weekend. Man Utd is currently in eighth place in the rankings and is not participating in the Champions League or League Cup going into the 19th round of Premier League matches.
Man Utd has only scored 18 goals in 18 Premier League games, which makes it more difficult for them to score goals. In addition, Ian Ladyman, football editor of the Daily Mail, and Sutton believe Ten Hag’s days at Old Trafford are numbered given the news that Sir Jim Ratcliffe will acquire a 25 percent share in the team.
On a joyous episode of the It’s All Kicking Off podcast, Ladyman said, “You and I have defender Erik ten Hag and stuck up for him, talking about the good things he’s done at Manchester United and the need for patience.” “I can assure you that Jim Ratcliffe is a dead man walking at the moment, even though his INEOS investment is expected to be at Old Trafford shortly. “I hate to say it, but he looks like a dead man heading toward me right now. It appears to me that he is sleepwalking in the direction of the door.
In agreement, Sutton said, “I think that, yes.” Please let me know when. I wish I could go back in time and recall that I called him a “Eric 10 games.” That wouldn’t be too far off from me. “I believe your description of a walking dead man is accurate. “At this point, I’m extremely concerned about him because I have no idea what game he’s watching when he comes out and says they did well.
“You are aware that their performance against West Ham wasn’t up to Manchester United’s standards. When we were seated at Old Trafford, they did not perform well, and Bayern Munich triumphed handily. “There are problems across the park, and that’s a big concern. Really, where do you even begin?
Examining the club’s problems in more detail, former striker Sutton of Chelsea and Blackburn Rovers said he felt sorry for Rasmus Hojlund, the summer acquisition for Manchester United. “As a center forward, I’ve been there where he seems to have real doubts and a lack of understanding about what his actual role is,” Sutton continued.
It appears that this has caused him to lose confidence. There is a serious issue because of his hesitation. Is he to blame for that? Is his level of skill truly known to us? Naturally, we don’t since he has two wide players who just pass the ball to you when they’re done with it. “That is an awful situation to be in,” the player said.
