Graeme Souness shares brutal verdict on Manchester United boss Erik ten Hag amid mounting pressure
03.11.2023 - 22:24 / manchestereveningnews.co.uk
Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag has been told he has likely exhausted all available options to him and is relying on a 'wing and prayer' now for the Reds to gain results.
Pressure on Ten Hag has increased massively this week after a dismal last two matches for United. Back-to-back 3-0 losses have led to claims his job is in jeopardy ahead of the trip to Fulham on Saturday.
Another defeat in the capital is almost guaranteed to grow the gap between United and the top four. Currently, this stands at eight points to Liverpool in fourth.

Evaluating the current situation at Old Trafford, Liverpool legend Graeme Souness believes the chinks in Ten Hag's authority probably began on his first day. "Never in my wildest imagination have I been able to picture Erik ten Hag holding court from the middle of a dressing room, convincing a group of young men with highly inflated opinions of themselves that they are all going places together," he wrote in his Daily Mail column.
"I think the majority of them are struggling to buy into his body language. From his very first team talk, the players will have worked out what he is and what he isn’t.
"The dressing room is a ruthless place. Football players are a cynical bunch. They will look for little chinks in this manager’s armour. I find it hard to believe there will not have been some scepticism from day one.
"The club are now at a stage where there’s little Ten Hag can do about any of it. I assure you he will have said everything he can say, tried absolutely everything he feels he can do, to make it work. He’s exhausted all the ideas and terminology.
