Manchester United’s decision makers are set to hold a summit to decide the future of under-fire boss Erik ten Hag after the Dutchman oversaw the Red Devils’ worst start ever to a Premier League season
Just five weeks ago, Manchester United CEO Omar Berrada sat in the plush boardroom at Old Trafford and gave his unequivocal support to Erik ten Hag.
Erik has our full backing,” said Berrada. “We’re going to continue working very closely with him to help him get the best results.”
That support will be put to the test today when United’s football leadership team, which includes Berrada, Ashworth and technical director Jason Wilcox, meet at the club’s London offices. Also present will be United co-owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe and his right-hand man, Sir Dave Brailsford, making up a five-man team that will ultimately
decide Ten Hag’s fate.
A few hours after Berrada and Ashworth’s show of support for Ten Hag, United were humbled 3-0 at home by arch rivals Liverpool. Since then, things have gone from bad to worse for the embattled Dutchman. United find themselves down in 14th place in the table, with eight points from seven games representing their worst start to a Premier League campaign, and a goal
difference of minus three.
