Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag is under significant pressure following a poor start to the season, with former players and media figures criticizing his performance and handling of star players. Louis Saha has suggested Ten Hag's position could become 'untenable' if United lose to Southampton, given the team's lackluster performances. Piers Morgan has labeled Ten Hag a 'complete idiot' for his treatment of Cristiano Ronaldo, blaming him for the striker's departure and United's subsequent struggles. Reports also indicate that Manchester United co-owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe is considering Zinedine Zidane as a potential replacement, should Ten Hag be sacked. Despite the criticism, Ten Hag has the backing of some club executives, although his future remains uncertain amid ongoing poor results.
