Ten Hag: Man Utd manager’s fate is sealed following a historic call in which five players are ripped apart for acting in a “unprofessional” manner.
Erik ten Hag’s long-term status will be decided by Manchester United, who have decided not to fire him before the FA Cup final. Meanwhile, five Red Devils players are under fire after what appears to be a “unprofessional” description from the Dutchman. Manchester United is presently on track to post their lowest-ever point total in Premier League history under Ten Hag’s direction, with the team having no chance of qualifying for the Champions League. Their season reached an all-time low on Monday night as they were crushed by Crystal Palace at a boisterous Selhurst Park, with Michael Olise leading the way and bagging two goals for Oliver Glasner’s steadily rising Eagles.
Calls for the Dutchman’s dismissal as manager have been louder as a result of the new minority shareholder Sir Jim Ratcliffe assigning technical director Jason Wilcox the duty of conducting an exhaustive audit to determine whether the Dutchman should stay in charge for a third season. Paul Scholes and Michael Owen, two former players who were horrified by what they saw on Monday night, have spearheaded the calls for his immediate dismissal as manager. Concerned Owen also feels that Ratcliffe must take drastic measures immediately, suggesting that United’s number two, Steve McClaren, be retained in the position until the end of the campaign in order to guarantee that they can find some happiness amidst the wreckage of their season.
the FA Cup final at Wembley on May 25 against Manchester City. Man Utd instructed to remove Ten Hag immediately and name a stand-in. “After United’s crushing at Selhurst Park, I’ve been saying for ages and hours that Ten Hag is not the ideal man for this job,” Owen remarked to Premier League Productions. Even though there are just four games involved, I wonder whether the board should attempt something right now and take a very bold stance because there is so much on the line.
