Strong fresh reports indicate that Sir Jim Ratcliffe has chosen an unexpected replacement in the Old Trafford dugout, and that Erik ten Hag is “resigned to losing his job” as Manchester United manager at the end of the season.

The Dutchman’s first season in charge of Manchester United was not as successful as it could have been, as the team finished third in the Premier League and advanced to two cup finals.

This season, the Red Devils have seen a significant decline. Pep: Foden is irritated with me over… Flowing logo For just £22 more per month, watch Sky Sports exclusively live for all four days of The Masters.

In fact, even though they have the opportunity to advance to the FA Cup final for the second time in a row if they defeat Championship team Coventry City in their semi-final match at Wembley this Sunday, Ten Hag’s job is in jeopardy due to his team’s appalling Premier League record, which has seen them lose 12 of their 31 games thus far, as well as some dubious tactics.

In light of this, TEAMtalk exclusively revealed at the beginning of the previous month that many United supporters believe Ten Hag to be a dead man walking at Old Trafford.

Six weeks after our piece was published, The Sun has now published a slightly modified version of it, stating that players at Mancheseter United now believe Ten Hag is resigned to losing his position at the conclusion of the season, regardless of how the team ends.

A “number of Red Devils stars have noticed a change in the demeanour” in the United boss in recent weeks, according to reporter Neil Custis. Ten Hag’s knives are sharpened following Man Utd’s tactical gaffes.

Moreover, it has been stated that Ratcliffe’s choice to withhold a public vote of confidence from Ten Hag is indicative, as the Dutchman now anticipates losing the season.

It is reported that the pivotal moment was realised during Sunday’s 2-2 draw with Liverpool.

Even though United came away with a point thanks to two fantastic goals from Bruno Fernandes and Kobbie Mainoo, as well as a bit of luck following Jarrel Quansah’s blind pass, the outcome should have been obvious long before that, as Liverpool missed numerous opportunities to take the lead.

In fact, it has now been revealed that United has let up a terrible 90 shots on goal to Liverpool in their three games against them this season, after giving up 28 efforts on target in Thursday’s 4-3 loss at Chelsea. Furthermore, Gary Neville described the performance as the “kind of result that can get a manager sacked” due to their midfield being way too exposed and transparent. Since then, the criticism of that performance has been coming in thick and fast.

Robbie Savage, the spokesman for Planet Sport, said he has never seen a team as transparent as Ten Hag’s United.

It is amazing that you gave up 28 shots against Liverpool in the game! Manchester United needs to make some important choices. Because of their openness and lack of structure, the present club is many years away from being able to contend for a Premier League title. According to Erik ten Hag, they could have won their last three games against Brentford, Chelsea, and Liverpool to earn nine points. That is true in actuality because they led in each of those three games and gave up late. Despite the fact that it is accurate, the truth is that Chelsea and Liverpool should have been four goals ahead of Brentford, and they should have been down 3-0. They could have easily won those games with zero points instead of two, as their opponents should have been long gone by now. Ruud Gullit’s historical critique also does not support Ten Hag’s position. Ratcliffe selects Ten Hag as the future Manchester United manager. After a series of meetings with Dan Ashworth, the new sporting director, United manager Ratcliffe is said to have chosen his replacement, Ten Hag supposedly on his way. Furthermore, Graham Potter, a former manager of Brighton and Chelsea, will be the person selected to assume the United bench, according to The Sun. The 48-year-old Englishman lost his job at Stamford Bridge in April of last year. Potter’s tenure as manager caused some division, as he was under pressure to maintain his players’ happiness despite having an overly large squad. He also claimed that his brief tenure of six months did not allow him to have a significant impact. Some, on the other hand, believed the Chelsea position was just too big for the former Swansea manager. But now, rumours are circulating that Ratcliffe has selected him to lead United starting in the upcoming season. Potter recently turned down the opportunity to rejoin Ajax as manager after discussing taking the helm starting with the upcoming campaign with the Dutch powerhouses. The club is reportedly going to offer Potter a two-year contract with the option of a third year to take over as manager. Ten Hag, meanwhile, stated last week that he is confident the team is headed in the right direction and will succeed. Ten Hag has continued to make it clear in public that he intends to remain in leadership.
