Manchester United Manager Erik ten Hag Facing Pressure as Former Players Predict End of Reign

Manchester United’s season has been a rollercoaster ride, with the team’s performance under manager Erik ten Hag coming under intense scrutiny. Former Premier League striker Chris Sutton believes that there is “no coming back” for ten Hag, as the team currently sits in seventh place in the Premier League, 16 points off the top four.

The recent FA Cup semi-final match against Coventry highlighted the team’s struggles, with goals from Scott McTominay, Harry Maguire, and Bruno Fernandes putting them in control before losing control in the latter stages of the game. Ten Hag’s substitutions, including taking off key players like Alejandro Garnacho, have been questioned, with the team struggling to regain control and maintain their lead.

Despite the criticism, ten Hag remains defiant, stating that his team can play at high levels but also drop to low levels within the same game. The upcoming FA Cup final against Manchester City will be a crucial test for ten Hag, with former Manchester United defender Gary Neville emphasizing the importance of winning trophies for the manager’s future at the club.

With pressure mounting on ten Hag, the club has undergone a backroom overhaul, with new appointments in key positions. The comparison to Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta, who faced similar challenges in his first season but eventually found success, provides some hope for ten Hag’s supporters.

As the season reaches its climax, all eyes will be on Manchester United and Erik ten Hag as they aim to salvage their campaign with a strong finish in the FA Cup final and secure their manager’s future at the club.
