For now, ten Hag remains the Manchester United coach, but the pressure on him will clearly increase. The results are very bad and the pressure on him is definitely growing, everything can be decided in the upcoming matches in Porto in the Europa League and Aston Villa in the Premier League. Both opponents are strong enough to beat Manchester United, who cannot find their game. I think that they are in no hurry to fire ten Hag because the club will lose €21m according to the early termination of the contract with him. During his stay in the team, ten Hag bought 15 players for a total of more than €600m, and won only the FA Cup and the League Cup.
The pressure is very big now and precisely because of that pressure, it makes Ten Hag increasingly difficult to develop the team that is currently slumping, Manchester United management seems to have no other choice but to retain Ten Hag but in the next few matches I think if Ten Hag still fails then it is not impossible that the peak of anger will be seen and Ten Hag will be fired, regardless of the losses that will be borne by the Manchester United team but that is one way to make the Manchester United team rise compared to retaining Ten Hag but the team is getting slumped.
Coaching a club as big as Man United is not easy, there will be a lot of spotlight so that players and coaches always get great pressure, especially every time they lose there is always sharp criticism from both the coach and the players. This is evident when players leave Man United and play for other clubs, their performance improves. So playing and coaching a club like Man United is not easy.
In addition, because of Erik Ten Hag's mistakes, also because of the failure of the indecisive Management, Man United's poor performance problem apart from Erik Ten Hag's choice of tactics and players, Ineos must also be wise and firm in selling players like Rashford, Shaw, Malacia, and Lindelof. At least the mid-season transfers between the names above are sold/removed from the squad like Motta did at Juve. Or Man United must buy 1 LB and 1 LW purely so that Dalot and Rashford stop playing there.
Man United is in a dilemma right now, if Erik Ten Hag has to be fired now, then who is the most worthy coach to replace him and is also available on the market right now? In my opinion, there are not many choices. So maybe this is what makes Man United Management continue to maintain Erik Ten Hag until now.
