Coach Erik ten Hag has openly acknowledged the mistakes made by his team in their recent match against Liverpool. The football pundit and Liverpool legend, Jamie Carragher, has also shared his prediction on when Manchester United will possibly let go of ten Hag as their manager.
During the game, ten Hag's United suffered a humiliating defeat of 3-0 at home against Arne Slot's team. Despite leading the Red Devils to victory in the 2023 Carabao Cup and 2024 FA Cup, ten Hag has struggled to bridge the gap between United and the top teams in the league. This was evident in their disappointing eighth-place finish last season, where they scored the same amount of goals as Crystal Palace and even fewer than West Ham.
The start of the 2024-25 season has been a tough one for United, with a narrow 1-0 win against Fulham and back-to-back losses to Brighton and Liverpool. The team's next match will be against Southampton on September 14, but Carragher doesn't believe ten Hag will last much longer as the United boss.
Carragher drew comparisons to his former club, Liverpool, before the arrival of Jurgen Klopp. He recalled how there were talks of sacking Brendan Rodgers after just one season, but the owners decided to keep him and make changes to his coaching staff. However, this didn't bring much change, and Rodgers was eventually let go in October.
In his post-match interview, ten Hag admitted that all three goals scored by Liverpool were due to individual errors from his team. He also praised his opponents' performance, especially in their quick turnovers and finishes. Despite some debate on the third goal, ten Hag acknowledged that Liverpool deserved the win and that his team needs to learn from this experience and improve their game.
With the ongoing speculation and pressure, it seems unlikely that ten Hag will still be at the helm of United by the end of the season. As the team looks to bounce back from their recent setbacks, fans can only hope for a change in fortunes and better performances in the future.
