Jose Enrique believes that Erik ten Hag's time at Manchester United will not last very long, predicting that the Dutchman will be sacked before Chelsea head coach Mauricio Pochettino.
"I don't think things are going to end well for Erik ten Hag at Manchester United," said the former Liverpool defender. "I loved the way he handled things last season, but with the Jadon Sancho situation this season, I don't know why he did what he did in putting the whole dressing room against him."
Ten Hag has faced some early pressure this term, having lost two of United's opening four Premier League games to Arsenal and Tottenham respectively. They were arguably fortunate to beat Wolves 1-0 on the opening day too - with Gary O'Neil's side denied a late penalty and registering double the amount of shots on target. He has also been involved in a public fall-out with Jadon Sancho, as well as the Antony situation.
"After a very good season last season I expected Manchester United to be in a much better position at the moment," Enrique continued. "Obviously there have been other factors like the Jadon Sancho situation which Erik ten Hag spoke publicly about, as well as the Antony situation."
United face Brighton on Saturday at Old Trafford, with the club hoping for a much-needed win to boost their form. Whether Erik ten Hag will still be in charge for the long-term remains to be seen, but Jose Enrique believes his future at the club does not look bright.
