Manchester United are also a very interesting team this season. "Inconsistent" might be a better word to tell their condition I guess. They can win against Chelsea at Old Trafford but at the same time they can lose to Bournemouth at the same place by even a huge score like 3-0. 
The point difference with top 4 is 6 now. Finishing the season in top 4 will be crucial for Erik ten Hag. If the board don't see the team in the Champions League next season then I don't think Erik ten Hag would stay longer.
I'm talking like he will last until the end of the season of course. Who knows maybe he would get sacked earlier depending on results.
We all know it is not actually easy but we all expected a very good result from Manchester united last season they were good at competition with Newcastle and now they are far below Newcastle, and what every club need to be ranked is consistency and that is what Manchester united is lacking seriously. And the last time Chelsea and Manchester united played Manchester united won and the truth is no matter the condition of any club you cannot predict their play that is what happened in their case, look at Chelsea and Manchester City. Erik ten Hag is unlikely to place in the top four. They will not stop now from giving in. Manchester United can do whatever they want this season because there is no amendment that can undo the present harm they have till the next season. The point difference with top 4 is 6 now. Finishing the season in top 4 will be crucial for Erik ten Hag. If the board don't see the team in the Champions League next season then I don't think Erik ten Hag would stay longer. I'm talking like he will last until the end of the season of course. Who knows maybe he would get sacked earlier depending on results.
