Ferdinand believes that Erik Ten Hag will lose his job at Man United regardless of whether the Club scores a win or a loss, at the FA Cup Final.
While Man United has performed well at Brighton, the Club has had a lukewarm season throughout because of their 8th place finish at the Premier League. “The more and more I think about it, win or lose, I don’t think Ten Hag will be there come next season,” said Ferdinand live on his podcast FIVE.
‘I’m not saying that’s what I want, I’m just saying what I believe is going to happen, and I believe that the club are going to look elsewhere I think.
‘I don’t think changes anything in the eyes of INEOS. I’ve not spoken to anyone there, this is just an assumption, this is what I think.’
Ferdinand didn’t entirely blame manager Erik ten Hag for the team’s performance, but there have been multiple injuries that have caused the squad’s performance to suffer in this “cut-throat business” I keep saying this, I sound like a broken record: performance level can drop but your style of football should be there to identify. It’s not.
“If you look at where Manchester United are in the table – 19 defeats in all competitions, scoring the least goals they’ve ever managed in the Premier League and not playing exciting football, the numbers don’t really add up. It’s a very cut-throat business, but the numbers don’t look great for Ten Hag.” added Ferdinand.
Sir Jim Ratcliffe Eyeing Ipswich Manager Kieran Mckenna?
With drastic pay cuts in action for the entirety of the Club, Man United is eyeing other options, and reportedly Ipswich is in talks to replace Erik ten Hag as the
new coach for the Club. Partial owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe and his INEOS team are reportedly scouting for alternatives to replace the Dutchman. Michael Olise is also in talks to end Erik ten Hag’s spell at Man United
Football Pundit Rio Ferdinand ended his podcast by adding “If I was Man United now, and I was INEOS, or I was advising them now, I would go and get a coach. I want the best coach around.” “Someone who speaks the language, yes. Someone who can communicate with the players. But someone who can implement a playing style and really coach the hell out of young players, experienced players.” ended Ferdinand.
With multiple player transfers well underway besides a potential change in management for Man United, it remains to be seen how the team would perform and prepare for the upcoming season after a bleak 8th finish in the Premier League.
