Saturday’s 2-0 victory over Everton is a pivotal moment for Manchester United providing stability amid intense scrutiny on manager Erik ten Hag. The win featuring first-half goals by Bruno Fernandes and Marcus Rashford prevents United from recording three successive Premier League losses for the first time since 2015. Contrary to the perceived importance of Champions League qualification on Ten Hag’s fate, the focus has shifted to a new organizational structure under INEOS.

The impending appointments of Omar Berrada and potentially Dan Ashworth and Jason Wilcox signal significant changes. Ineos aims to revamp United’s management structure challenging past decisions and potentially reshaping the team’s future. The question is raised: Is it fair to assess Ten Hag without the right organizational support? No decision has been made leaving open the possibility of Ten Hag remaining in his position into the next season.

Additionally, the financial implications of sacking a manager impact profit and sustainability figures influencing spending in other areas. INEOS led by figures like Sir Dave Brailsford aims to bring about positive changes and potentially rejuvenate Manchester United.
