Reports suggest that Manchester United is contemplating the dismissal of manager Erik ten Hag if he fails to reverse the team’s recent poor performance.
According to Arsenal legend Paul Merson, the likelihood of Manchester United parting ways with manager Erik ten Hag increases significantly if the team experiences defeats in their upcoming three matches.
In a much-anticipated Premier League clash, the Red Devils are set to host Chelsea at Old Trafford this Wednesday, aiming to bounce back from their recent 1-0 loss to Newcastle.
Having suffered a setback, United is determined to regain momentum against Chelsea on their home ground after currently trailing 9 points behind the league leaders and sitting at the bottom of their Champions League group.
Erik ten Hag’s squad faces a pivotal moment as they navigate through the challenging fixtures against Chelsea, Bournemouth, and Bayern Munich, with the latter already securing a spot in the Round of 16.
Expressing his thoughts via Sportskeeda, Merson noted, “If they lose to Chelsea, Bournemouth, and Bayern, I don’t see how Ten Hag keeps his job. I do think they’ll beat Bournemouth, however, and they could do well against a Bayern Munich side that has already qualified for the Round of 16.”
