Erik ten Hag Faces Mounting Pressure Amid Man United Woes

Erik ten Hag’s tenure at Manchester United is becoming increasingly challenging as the club continues to underperform in both the English Premier League (EPL) and European competitions.

United’s 1-1 draw with FC Twente in their Europa League opener on Wednesday, 25 September, highlighted ongoing issues, with midfielder Christian Eriksen’s second half error costing the team victory.

Despite showing improvements in underlying metrics such as chance creation and defensive cohesion, the Red Devils’ inability to convert opportunities has left them in 11th place on the EPL table.

The English club has missed a league-high of 17 big chances, leaving them underachieving based on expected goals.

Fans and pundits are increasingly questioning Ten Hag’s tactical decisions and squad management. While some supporters call for patience, other voices point to his third season as a crucial period. With just one win in their last nine European games, doubts are growing about his long-term tenure.

United face a crucial fixture against Tottenham Hotspur on Sunday, 29 September, followed by matches with Porto and Aston Villa, which could determine whether Ten Hag can turn the tide, or face an exit from Old Trafford.
