Erik ten Hag's position as Manchester United manager is under serious threat following consecutive Premier League defeats to Brighton and Liverpool, leaving the team in a disappointing 14th place after three games. The 3-0 loss to Liverpool has intensified speculation about his future, with betting odds indicating he is the favorite to be the first manager sacked this season, currently at 7/2, just behind Everton's Sean Dyche at 3/1. Despite having secured a temporary reprieve last season by winning the FA Cup, Ten Hag's inability to deliver consistent performances has raised concerns among fans and analysts alike. Former United player Ruud Van Nistelrooy is emerging as a potential successor should the club decide to make a change. Critics are questioning whether Ten Hag can turn around the team's fortunes, especially as they face a season outside of the Champions League. With Ineos's investment aimed at reviving United's stature, the pressure is mounting on Ten Hag to deliver results quickly.
