I had a private meeting with important members of the board and we had decided that we would make our final decision after the match against Aston Villa. Given the results of the match, Erik Ten Hag’s fate is decided, He’s leaving before the international break ends” – Manchester United have reportedly reached a “private agreement” regarding Erik ten Hag’s potential sacking following the draw against Aston Villa. Finally, we have gotten our answer 😳🙏 Sir Jim Ratcliffe is a man of action 😳🙏 We just need to know who’s going to replace him 😳💯

Manchester United are reportedly hesitant to part ways with manager Erik ten Hag, despite their poor start to the season. The Dutch coach, who arrived with the aim of revitalizing the team, is facing increasing pressure as United’s on-field performances continue to falter. However, according to sources, the club’s leadership is currently resisting calls to make any drastic decisions about his future, despite growing frustration from fans and analysts.

The recent goalless draw against Aston Villa has only added to the uncertainty surrounding Ten Hag’s position. With only two wins from their first seven Premier League games, United now find themselves in 14th place. As the international break begins, rumors suggest Ten Hag’s time might be running out, but internal discussions within the club are ongoing to decide the next steps.

Sir Jim Ratcliffe, a key figure in Manchester United’s ownership, attended the match at Villa Park, his second visit this season. Sitting alongside influential club figures, including Sir Alex Ferguson, Ratcliffe’s presence has sparked further speculation about the Dutchman’s future, with his opinion likely to influence the decision-making process.

United’s leadership, including Ratcliffe and co-chairman Joel Glazer, are scheduled to hold important meetings in Manchester on Monday, followed by additional talks in London. Glazer, flying in from the U.S., is expected to participate in discussions that could be pivotal in determining whether Ten Hag remains in charge, as the club’s disappointing form is putting increasing pressure on the management.

Manchester United’s struggles this season are reflected in the statistics. After seven league matches, they have only managed to score five goals and have recorded just two wins. Across all competitions, their record is no better, with only three victories in 11 games, including a Carabao Cup win over Barnsley and league triumphs against Fulham and Southampton. Their poor run in Europe is also concerning, with just one win in their last 10 continental matches. A recent loss to Porto in the Europa League leaves them with only two points from six, a far cry from the success United expects in European competitions.

Despite mounting pressure, Ten Hag remains confident, asserting that the atmosphere at Old Trafford is not as bleak as portrayed by the media. However, this optimism might not be enough to protect him from the ongoing scrutiny. The club’s heavy investment in new signings over the summer—spending £200 million to strengthen the squad—shows their commitment to Ten Hag, making the decision to part ways with him even more complex.

Additionally, Manchester United’s ownership group, INEOS, recently triggered a one-year extension in Ten Hag’s contract, tying him to the club until 2026. This move indicates that the club initially had a long-term vision for Ten Hag’s leadership, but whether he remains in the position will depend on the outcome of the upcomin
