BREAKING NEWS:Manchester United’s new owner, Sir Jim Ratcliffe, has officially informed the £60 million star that he has one week to pack his belongings and leave the club, or risk having his contract terminated. This follows the recent draw and echoes the situations with Ronaldo and Sancho. He’s on his way out!

Manchester United, despite their disappointing start to the season, are hesitant to dismiss manager Erik ten Hag, according to internal reports. The Dutch manager, who arrived at the club with great expectations and a vision to revitalize the team, has faced significant pressure due to United’s poor performances on the pitch.

However, the club’s leadership is reportedly reluctant to make any drastic changes at this stage, even as discontent among fans and analysts grows.

The situation has worsened following United’s recent 0-0 draw against Aston Villa, which highlighted the team’s struggles. After seven league games, United has only two wins and now finds itself in 14th place in the Premier League standings.

With the October international break underway, there is widespread speculation about whether Ten Hag’s tenure at the club is nearing its end. Nonetheless, it appears that for now, Manchester United’s hierarchy may continue to support him while they deliberate over the team’s direction.

Sir Jim Ratcliffe, a key figure in United’s ownership structure, attended the Villa Park match, his second visit of the season. He was seated in the directors’ box alongside influential figures such as Sir Dave Brailsford, Omar Berrada, Dan Ashworth, Jason Wilcox, and Sir Alex Ferguson. Ratcliffe’s presence has intensified discussions about Ten Hag’s future, as his opinions are expected to influence the decision-making process.

The club’s top leadership, including Ratcliffe and co-chairman Joel Glazer, will hold critical meetings in Manchester and London to discuss the situation further. Joel Glazer is set to fly in from the United States to participate in these discussions, which could determine the manager’s fate. Ten Hag’s position is expected to be a key focus of these meetings, given the club’s poor form.

United’s performance this season has been concerning. With just two league wins and five goals in seven games, the club is far from its best. Their struggles extend across all competitions, with only three victories in 11 matches, including the Carabao Cup and the Premier League. In Europe, the team has also faltered, with a poor showing in the Europa League.

Despite external pressures, Ten Hag remains defiant, suggesting that the atmosphere within the club is more positive than the media portrays. However, the club’s heavy summer spending and the recent extension of Ten Hag’s contract until 2026 indicate that United is still considering a long-term approach with him, even as critical decisions loom.
