Manchester United news as Erik ten Hag comes under pressure immediately after poor start but season could still swing
In a first summer transfer window under new sporting control, Manchester United entered the 2024/25 season with some positivity. Erik ten Hag had just won the FA Cup, the signings appeared to be aligned and promising, and things could hardly get any worse.
The Uruguay midfielder has plenty to live up to if he is to solve the problems at hand though. United are already teetering on the brink of collapse, such was the forensic analysis after Sunday's defeat to Liverpool, and expectations had been so much higher.Top four and a trophy Gary Neville and Jamie Carragher both had United down to make it three trophies in three years under Ten Hag before things kicked off.
“If Man United don’t win their first two games, everyone will be talking about Ten Hag’s position.” Somewhat prescient, it turns out. After the defeat to Liverpool it was the pair discussing his future already. "I think Ange talked about it himself before the game referring back to last season. Chelsea could easily be an absolute mess. I think Chelsea have , the players Chelsea have got. I think they look quite vulnerable."
"Ten Hag hasn’t got it in his locker to attract big names, Zidane is an elite manager that can attract the biggest players in the world and get everyone back onside. The biggest names in world football will bend over backwards to come and play for Zidane if he's at Manchester United. At the moment United don’t have the pulling power to get in the players that will play attractive football and win major trophies again.
"There will be no hiding place at United for Erik ten Hag and even though he has been given a new deal, the club are expecting improved results very quickly. They have now lost to Brighton and scraped past Fulham and I expect Sir Jim Ratcliffe won’t hesitate to make a change."
