Will Erik the Hag be the coach of Manchester United next season? This is a question that is not only solved by the fans in the English city, but above all by the club’s management. After all, the Dutch coach himself recently commented on this topic.
Erik ten Hag has been leading Manchester United in the position of head coach since the summer of 2022. When he arrived, the fans promised him a return to the English elite. So does the club management. So far, however, things are not going well and the team under his leadership is rather floundering.
The Red Devils are not performing at their best either in terms of play or results. They are currently seventh in the Premier League with 50 points from 32 games played. Although they have the same number of points as sixth Newcastle, they have a significantly worse score.
Fans of the famous Manchester club have been calling for a change in the position of head coach for a long time. However, it has now emerged that his position will also be addressed by new management led by minority shareholder Sir Jim Ratcliffe.
Needless to say, Manchester United’s last win in the Premier League was on March 9 when they beat Everton 2-0 at home. Since then, however, he has drawn with Brentford (1:1), Liverpool and Bournemouth (2:2). Moreover, after a dramatic end, he lost to Chelsea 3:4.
So instead of the club heading back towards the top of the table, they have to look back. Eighth West Ham is only two points behind, ninth Chelsea three.
The Red Devils can get the three points they need at home against Sheffield United on Wednesday. How did coach Erik ten Hag comment on the long-lasting bad situation? The United coach stated, among other things, that if the owners of the club evaluate his performance in the club negatively, he is ready to leave it.
Erik ten Hag on United’s performance…
“I know that when you have as many injuries as we’ve had and in key key positions, you can’t produce the results you want to produce. And that’s okay, this is my truth. I don’t deal with criticism and I don’t waste energy on it, whether I’m judged fairly or not.” said the Hag whose words on platform X quoted by Fabrizio Romano.
“I know what we’re about and why I’m here – to win trophies and create economic value. We are working on it and there are occasional setbacks during the process. I see the nuances, but some of the critical comments lack this realistic view. But I can’t dwell on it and get emotional about it,” added the coach of Manchester United.
