Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag is under increasing pressure after a 0-0 draw against Aston Villa on Sunday, leaving the team in 14th place in the Premier League.
With just one win in their last five matches, concerns are growing about Ten Hag’s future at Old Trafford, particularly following recent setbacks. After a 3-3 Europa League draw against Porto, where United squandered a 2-0 lead, and a 3-0 home defeat to Tottenham Hotspur, speculation has mounted that the Dutchman’s time at the club may be running out.
According to ESPN, Ten Hag is facing significant pressure after the Spurs defeat, with the club’s leadership reportedly considering a managerial change. Both the Europa League clash against Porto and the Premier League game against Aston Villa were seen as critical for his future.
The Manchester Evening News has reported that former Bayern Munich manager Thomas Tuchel is being considered as a potential replacement if the club decides to part ways with Ten Hag. A pivotal meeting is expected to take place in London on Tuesday to discuss his future amid the team’s poor start to the season.
Despite the speculation, Ten Hag remained composed when questioned about his position, stating, “I communicate openly with the club’s officials and focus on my job with the players. I expect discussions with the hierarchy soon.”
Tuchel, currently a free agent after leaving Bayern Munich, could step in quickly if Manchester United opts for a change. With fans and pundits awaiting the outcome of the upcoming meeting, Ten Hag’s future remains uncertain as the club grapples with a challenging season.
