Will manager Erik ten Hag keep the baton at Manchester United again this time.
The British edition of Sky Sports said on the 9th (Korea time) that “Manchester United held a seven-hour executive meeting, but there is no good news regarding coach Ten Hag. What happened today is a routine meeting.”
“The meeting has been going on for quite some time. A lot of issues were discussed, including the redevelopment of Old Trafford, advertising and sponsorship. The heads of state, including Jim Ratcliffe, Dan Ashworth and Jean-Claude Blanc, attended,” he said. “If you want to be a conspiracy theorist, you can question why the meeting went on for so long, but at the moment, there is no news about Ten Hag.”
Coach Ten Haq is in jeopardy due to his poor performance and performance this season as well. Manchester United tied 0-0 against Aston Villa in the seventh round of the 2024-25 EPL, which ended at Villa Park in Birmingham, England on the 7th, and became winless in five games (four draws and one loss). The league ranking is 14th (8 points). It is the first time in the history of Manchester United that it has only eight points in its first seven games. The previous record of nine points was also achieved by Ten Haq last season.
Moreover, former Manchester United coach Alex Ferguson, as well as Ratcliffe, watched the game at the stadium during the match against Villa. Local media also argued that the manager’s change will take place during the A-match break (7-15 days) in October.
However, no significant changes have been detected in the marathon meeting. Global sports media ESPN quoted sources as saying on Tuesday that the future of Coach Ten Hag is still uncertain ahead of the executive meeting scheduled for this week, but he still maintains confidence from the leadership. Media claims that the leadership and Coach Ten Hag had talks even after the draw against Villa, which they believe is safe for the moment.
Meanwhile, Sky Sports said, “Of course, it is not necessary to immediately disclose it to the media when a decision to replace Coach Ten Hag is made. However, there is no indication that this kind of decision has been made, and for the time being, it is business as usual.”
On the 7th, the BBC, a British media outlet, said of this season’s Ten Hach system, “The draw with Villa was meaningful in that it at least avoided defeat,” and diagnosed, “The decision to choose Johnny Evans and Harry Maguire to stabilize the defense is still having difficulty raising Manchester United’s organizational power.” He then pointed out that they are all struggling in offense and defense, pointing out their attack power with only 1.45 goals per game. 먹튀검증

He has 71 wins, 19 draws and 35 losses in 125 official matches since the 2022-23 season. During the period, he lifted the English Football League (EFL) cup and the English Football Association (FA) cup once each. Ten Hag’s contract with Manchester United runs until 2026.
