Erik ten Hag’s Job at Risk: Manchester United to Sack Manager If They Lose to Brentford and Fenerbahce
Erik ten Hag’s position as Manchester United manager is reportedly hanging by a thread, with his future potentially determined by the team’s performances in their upcoming matches against Brentford and Fenerbahce.
Following a disappointing start to the 2024/25 season, which sees United sitting in 14th place in the Premier League with just two wins from seven games, the club’s hierarchy has discussed his future in recent meetings.
Ten Hag’s job is said to be at serious risk if the Red Devils fail to secure wins against Brentford at Old Trafford and Fenerbahce in the Europa League.
With only eight points on the board and a five-match winless streak across all competitions, the pressure is mounting on the Dutch manager to turn things around quickly.
Reports indicate that while Ten Hag’s contract runs until June 2026, sacking him could cost the club around £15 million, adding a layer of complexity to the decision-making process.
Despite this, sources claim that it is almost “inevitable” that he will lose his job if the team’s poor form continues in these crucial fixtures.
Manchester United’s match against Brentford is set to kick off at 15:00 BST, followed by their Europa League clash with Jose Mourinho’s Fenerbahce five days later. These games are seen as must-wins for Ten Hag if he hopes to remain in charge at Old Trafford.
