Fabrizio Romano drops huge update on Eric ten Hags’ future – Everything is possible 

Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag is facing mounting pressure as the club’s hierarchy continues to support him, but his future may hinge on the results of the upcoming matches against Porto and Aston Villa, according to reports by football insider Fabrizio Romano.

 

United recently suffered a crushing 3-0 defeat to Tottenham Hotspur in the Premier League, a match in which the Red Devils were thoroughly outplayed.

 

 

While goalkeeper Andre Onana made several key saves to keep the scoreline from worsening, the result has left the club in a precarious position.

 

Currently, United sit in 12th place with just seven points from six games, marking one of their poorest starts to a Premier League season.

 

 

Romano discussed the situation on his “Here We Go” podcast, noting that while the club still backs ten Hag, there is “growing pressure” for him to turn things around quickly.

 

 

He stated that the forthcoming matches against Porto and Aston Villa could be pivotal in determining ten Hag’s future at Old Trafford.

 

The Dutchman had earned some breathing room earlier this year after leading United to FA Cup success over rivals Manchester City.

 

Despite an underwhelming eighth-place finish in the Premier League, the club’s FA Cup triumph secured them a spot in the Europa League, which helped solidify ten Hag’s position as manager.

 

 

He was given significant financial backing during the summer transfer window, but the results on the pitch is yet to reflect that investment.

 

The upcoming fixtures are daunting. United face Aston Villa in the league, a team currently in strong form, and travel to Portugal to play Porto, who have been dominant at home this season with an unbeaten record and a strong defensive record.

 

A positive result in at least one of these matches may be essential for ten Hag’s job security, especially as United have struggled both domestically and in Europe, with just one point so far in the Europa League.

 

Should United lose both games, the board may be forced to reconsider ten Hag’s position, with speculation swirling about potential replacements if results don’t improve.

 

 

Manchester United’s dismal start to the season has Erik ten Hag’s future hanging in the balance. With the October international break looming, speculation surrounding his departure is rife. But what would it cost the Red Devils to sack their under-fire manager?

 

 

 

 

According to GOAL, Manchester United would need to shell out a staggering £17.5 million to terminate Ten Hag’s contract. This figure is significantly higher than the £10 million they would have paid if they hadn’t extended his deal in May.

 

Following the 3-0 defeat to Tottenham, Ten Hag addressed the speculation surrounding his job security. “I am not thinking about this,” he said. “We all made the decision to stay together… We knew it would take some time.”

 

 

 

Simone Inzaghi, Gareth Southgate, and Ruud van Nistelrooy are among the top contenders to replace Ten Hag. Sir Jim Ratcliffe will make a decision on the Dutchman’s future during the October international break.

 

Manchester United’s struggles have raised questions about Ten Hag’s ability to lead the team. With the club 12th in the Premier League and having won just six of their last 18 league matches, change may be imminent.

 

 

 

As Manchester United weighs its options, one thing is certain: the decision to sack Ten Hag will come at a significant cost. Will the Red Devils opt to pay the £17.5 million price tag, or will Ten Hag be given more time to turn things around? Share your thoughts.
