In a recent revelation, Liverpool legend Jamie Carragher has weighed in on the future of Manchester United’s manager, Erik ten Hag, amid Sir Jim Ratcliffe’s impending control of the club.
Carragher’s comments centered around the precarious position of the Dutchman, suggesting that he is currently serving as an interim coach at Old Trafford. According to the former player turned pundit, Ten Hag’s tenure could be in jeopardy if the team fails to deliver improved results for the remainder of the season.
Sir Jim Ratcliffe’s INEOS group is poised to take over football operations following the completion of his acquisition of a 25 per cent stake in the club. This impending change in ownership has heightened speculation about Ten Hag’s future given Manchester United’s underwhelming performance this season.
The general sentiment surrounding the former Ajax coach’s status at Old Trafford points towards an imminent departure. However, Carragher’s perspective frames Ten Hag as being on trial within the Red Devils’ managerial role.
“Erik ten Hag is on trial as Manchester United manager since the Ineos ‘takeover’. He is effectively an interim coach until the end of the season. Unless there is a significant upturn in results and performances, he will have to go,” Carragher expressed in an article for The Telegraph.
The implications of Carragher’s assessment hint at the potential volatility awaiting Ten Hag as he navigates the challenging landscape of Manchester United’s managerial realm.
