Manchester United legend Teddy Sheringham has criticized manager Erik ten Hag, suggesting that he is “not good enough” and predicting he might be “gone by Christmas.” Despite receiving a two-year contract extension and significant backing in the transfer market over the summer, ten Hag’s tenure has been under scrutiny.
United have struggled this season, with losses to Liverpool and Brighton and a narrow 1-0 win against Fulham. The team has also faced disappointment with a Community Shield penalty defeat to Manchester City. Sheringham, who scored 46 goals in 153 appearances for United, believes ten Hag’s performance has been unsatisfactory.
Especially after finishing eighth in the Premier League last season. He criticized the manager’s lack of improvement and consistency, saying, “When you look at the inconsistency of last season, and that has followed on… there’s been no change whatsoever.” Sheringham added that he would be surprised if ten Hag remains in charge past Christmas.
