Erik ten Hag is facing immense pressure at Manchester United following a dismal start to the season, marked by a 3-0 defeat to Tottenham and a precarious position in the Premier League standings. Despite some support from senior players, the Dutch manager has been criticized for the team's poor form and questionable tactics. Sir Alex Ferguson has recommended Massimiliano Allegri as a potential replacement, while other names like Gareth Southgate and Simone Inzaghi are also being considered. The next two games against Porto in the Europa League and Aston Villa in the Premier League are seen as crucial for Ten Hag's future. Former players and pundits have voiced differing opinions on whether he should be given more time or replaced immediately.
