Fabrizio Romano gives latest update on Eric ten Hag and Manchester United owners replacement

Manchester United has had a disappointing start to the season, securing only eight points from seven Premier League matches, according to Man Utd News.

 

 

Their performance in the Europa League has also been underwhelming, with just two points from two games. This has sparked speculation about the future of manager Erik ten Hag.

 

A recent executive meeting, which had been scheduled for some time, is rumored to have addressed Ten Hag’s position at the club.

 

While there is no official word from the board, questions about his future persist.

 

 

 

According to football journalist Fabrizio Romano, Ten Hag is still focused on his role. “Erik ten Hag has not received any communication on his future from INEOS,” Romano shared on his YouTube channel.

 

“Ten Hag remains very calm and is preparing for the game against Brentford. The club are still discussing internally – it is a tense situation.”

 

 

Despite heavy spending of around £180 million on new players, United’s start to the season is their worst in 35 years. With just eight points from their opening seven league games, the pressure on Ten Hag is mounting.

 

However, it seems the Dutchman’s job is safe for now, partly due to a recent goalless draw against Aston Villa, which has bought him some time ahead of the international break.

 

 

But the upcoming matches could be decisive. United will face Brentford, followed by critical games against Fenerbahce and West Ham United.

 

If results do not improve in these fixtures, Ten Hag could be at risk of losing his position.

 

A stoppage-time winner from Vangelis Pavlidis saw Greece fortify their position at the top of UEFA Nations League (UNL) Group B2 with a first-ever victory against England, winning 2-1.

 

 

 

Lee Carsley’s latest audition for the permanent England managerial position involved an exciting, strikerless, free-flowing attack that looked to wreak havoc on the Greece defence early on. Bellingham gave Odysseas Vlachodimos a warning with a whipped shot inside three minutes, before Cole Palmer – making his first competitive start for his country – placed a powerful free-kick just over the bar. However, the Three Lions had seemingly traded their defensive stability for that extra attacking threat, and an array of mistakes afforded the visitors a promising spell.

 

Jordan Pickford ventured well outside his area before bizarrely passing straight to Anastasios Bakasetas, whose lobbed attempt was brilliantly cleared off the line by Levi Colwill. Konstantinos Mavropanos was then ruled offside after out jumping Pickford to head into the net, before an effort from Bakasetas was blocked by John Stones’ trailing leg. Still, two clear chances went begging for England before the break, including Palmer’s skied effort and an Anthony Gordon header which failed to match the quality of Trent Alexander-Arnold’s ball to find him.

 

England paid the price for their missed opportunities early in the second half when Greece broke through. Dinos Koulierakis surged forward, setting up Vangelis Pavlidis, who skillfully navigated past several England defenders before calmly placing the ball past Jordan Pickford. The joy from Greece’s first-ever goal at Wembley was palpable, as the team celebrated an emotional moment. Pavlidis almost doubled the lead shortly after, but his second goal was ruled out due to offside.

 

England tried to regain control, with the introduction of Ollie Watkins bringing a more familiar attacking structure. Watkins came close to equalising, but his shot sailed over the bar.

 

With only the group leader guaranteed promotion to League A, England knew they couldn’t afford to lose to the table-toppers. As the pressure mounted, Jude Bellingham stepped up. After Dominic Solanke laid the ball off at the edge of the box, Bellingham fired a powerful low shot past Greece’s keeper, Odysseas Vlachodimos, bringing England level.

 

 

However, just as it seemed England had salvaged a point, Greece launched one final attack. In the dying moments of stoppage time, Pavlidis struck again, sealing an unforgettable victory for Greece in the heart of London.
