Erik ten Hag's tenure at Manchester United seems to be hanging by a thread after their humiliating 3-0 defeat to Tottenham Hotspur at Old Trafford. This loss not only deepened the cracks in a side that once showed promise but also pushed Ten Hag closer to the exit. After securing his third season on the back of an FA Cup win against rivals Manchester City, ten Hag was tasked with reviving the club. However, following last season's dismal 8th-place finish, the club is clearly far from meeting its expectations.

United's players looked disengaged from the first whistle, conceding a goal three minutes into the game. Despite the roaring support of the home crowd, the squad had no energy or fight. The lack of urgency, particularly at home, is alarming, and not just Ten Hag should face the blame. For years, United fans have targeted managers for the club's failures, but it's time the spotlight shifts to the players who repeatedly fail to perform when it matters most.
Reports from Europe now suggest that Ten Hag's future at Manchester United is in jeopardy, with the next two games against Aston Villa and FC Porto being crucial. Both sides are formidable, and failure to win either could see the Dutchman ousted. While the players have seemingly stopped fighting for him, ten Hag insists that he's not at risk of being sacked, adding that the club's directors still back him.

United fans are growing increasingly impatient, and these next two fixtures could be the defining moments of Ten Hag's legacy at the club. If results don't improve, his time at Old Trafford may come to an abrupt end, adding another chapter to the club's post-Ferguson struggles.
