Reports suggest that Manchester United players believe Erik ten Hag will be sacked in the summer following a disappointing season for the club. United recently suffered their 11th Premier League defeat in the Manchester Derby, adding to their early exits from the Champions League and Carabao Cup. Despite facing challenges in qualifying for the Champions League and with the FA Cup quarter-final against Liverpool as their last chance for silverware, reports indicate that players have been unhappy with the intensity of training under Ten Hag.

The Daily Mail reports that there is a belief within the squad that the Dutchman’s tenure will end after the season. However, Ten Hag is said to still have support from the dressing room, and he has emphasized his alignment with new investor Sir Jim Ratcliffe. Discussions between Ten Hag, Ratcliffe, and Ineos chief Sir Dave Brailsford have centered around the club’s ambitions and structures, with Ten Hag expressing confidence in their shared vision.

Ineos is expected to re-evaluate Ten Hag’s position in the summer, with new chief executive Omar Berrada and incoming sporting director Dan Ashworth likely to influence the decision. Gary Neville suggested that a decision on Ten Hag’s future may have already been made, highlighting the club’s need to make decisive and timely decisions to avoid past recruitment mistakes.
