Ten Hag said he was in serious trouble.
Following the events of the last weekend, Erik ten Hag has received a warning from former Manchester United captain Gary Neville. Neville was more concerned about the performance than the outcome at Brentford, particularly with a match against Liverpool coming up.
“It’s concerning that a performance can reach such a low point,” the former England player stated on The Gary Neville Podcast. “You recall where Manchester United was prior to the international break. They had one of the most amazing experiences and ought to be flying into Brentford.
And then, well, that’s what we witnessed. Next week, they won’t be so bad—they can’t be that horrible. However, Manchester United will be in serious difficulty if Liverpool performs well the next week. Nothing will be the same; things cannot be worse.
Two performances at United that worry Ratcliffe
Two of United’s recent performances, including the draw against Brentford, have part-owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe considering whether to stick with Ten Hag or not. This season has had its share of highs and lows for the former Ajax manager.
Ratcliffe’s performance in West London hasn’t gone over too well, according to The Telegraph. It comes after similar worries following United’s home loss to Fulham, where they scored a late equalizer but allowed Alex Iwobi to score the game-winning goal in stoppage time.
Ten Hag is thought to be secure through the conclusion of the season, having recovered from a horrifying beginning to the campaign. However, a number of candidates, including England manager Gareth Southgate, have been entertained in place of the Dutchman.
Neville and Keane express their opinions about the title race.
After Liverpool emerged as title favorites, Gary Neville made a jesting statement claiming that things had gone “from bad to worse”. The Sky Sports pundit discovered that a supercomputer had placed Jurgen Klopp’s team ahead after they had moved up over the weekend.
“After today’s results, Liverpool is my favorite team, followed by Arsenal as my second favorite,” Keane stated. “Considering the disparity in their goals. Due to injury, City will miss out on the Champions League. Liverpool, I believe, is the same for Arsenal. They are favorites in my eyes.
Theo Walcott, a former Arsenal player, was also a pundit. He acknowledged that distractions from Europe might have an impact even if he thought his former team was in fine shape. “What kind of team he puts out and how focused they will be, that will depend a lot on the Champions League,” he declared. If you look at the schedule, City has a stronger run-in, but if you defeat them this season, you should win the league.
