Drunk at the wheel” – Furious Manchester United fans are demanding that Sir Jim Ratcliffe dismiss Erik ten Hag “immediately” after the INEOS chairman’s exasperated reaction to the team’s thrashing by Liverpool goes viral.
After Manchester United’s significant defeat to Arne Slot’s team at Old Trafford on Sunday, many Red Devils supporters demanded the immediate dismissal of manager Erik ten Hag. Minority owner Jim Ratcliffe, who has been criticized for keeping the former Ajax manager in his position, was seen with his head in his hands during the match—a moment that quickly gained attention on social media.
### Fans’ Reactions on X
@UtdYahz posted: “I don’t feel sorry for you, Jim. You had the chance to sack him and instead gave him a contract extension. Nothing was going to change. You did everything, including getting rid of Jadon, to please the manager, and it backfired. At least do the right thing now and fire him.”
@JoeSillett wrote: “If Sir Jim Ratcliffe, Omar Berrada, Dan Ashworth, and Jason Wilcox believe that Erik ten Hag is the right person to lead Manchester United forward after everything we’ve seen over the past two years, then they are clearly out of touch. They need to act immediately.”
@UtdHaris commented: “Sack him as soon as possible. This isn’t a united team; it’s just a poor squad of Ajax rejects.”
@flowzki added: “He realizes now he made a huge mistake by trusting Ten Hag.”
Despite the early stage of the season, Erik ten Hag will face increasing pressure to deliver positive results if Manchester United’s performance does not improve soon. The club spent around £180 million ($236 million) on transfers this summer, and the decision to keep the Dutch manager was partly due to his FA Cup victory last season, despite finishing in eighth place. However, Ratcliffe might soon decide to make a change.
