Erik ten Hag’s Job Security at Manchester United Remains in Doubt

Despite Manchester United recent 4-3 victory over Liverpool in the FA Cup, manager Erik ten Hag remains under scrutiny. While the win was significant, questions persist about his suitability for the role. After a promising first year following his arrival from Ajax in 2022, Erik ten Hag’s second season has been disappointing with early exits from European competitions and a struggle to secure Champions League qualification.

Additionally, the arrival of new minority owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe has added uncertainty to Erik ten Hag’s position, as Ratcliffe now controls all football operations and may prefer to appoint his own manager. Although Ten Hag’s contract runs until 2025, he has not received assurances about his future. United have been approached by representatives of other managers and Ratcliffe’s team is considering various candidates.

Despite the possibility of an FA Cup win and Champions League qualification, Ratcliffe’s decision will consider multiple factors including financial implications. Sacking Erik ten Hag could incur significant compensation costs posing a challenge for the financially cautious club.
