And now what will happen to Ten Hag?

The historical Manchester United It collapsed last Tuesday when it was eliminated not only from the Champions League but also from Europe. All eyes turned to the coach of the Old Trafford team, Erik ten Haagand what their future is.

Well, according to The Athletic portal, despite the massive failure that necessitated United’s farewell to Europe and despite the fact that they are 6th in the Premier League (10 points behind the leader Liverpoolhis great historical rival and who he will face on Sunday), it will be difficult for Ten Hags be dismissed immediately.

The reason is the situation where the Manchester United at the club level. Sir Jim Ratcliffefounder of petrochemicals giant INEOS, has agreed to buy 25 percent of United and is expected to take control of football affairs, but is still waiting for all six brothers to Glazer (club owners) approve the operation.

In normal times, decisions about the future of Ten Hags must be approved by Joel Glazerthe co-CEO, and implemented by other members of the organization of Manchester Unitedbut there is Ratcliffe and his INEOS team, which includes Sir Dave Brailsfordwaiting in the wings, there’s a power vacuum now.

So, Richard Arnolduntil recently executive director of Manchester Unitedwas replaced by Patrick Stewart, director of legal affairs, on an interim basis. It is difficult to occupy the position at the temporary level, Stewart make a decision about the future of May Hag Furthermore, if he fires the Dutch coach, the United will have to pay him 17.5 million euros.

Another reason why, always according to The Athletic, the dismissal of Ten Hags does not point to the immediate is that, even if the chaos is growing in the locker room, it cannot be said that there is a current revolt against the ‘red devils’ coach.
