Has it finally happened? 🤣🤣
It's about 12 months overdue.
Possibly one of the worst coaches I've ever seen in the Premier League.
Unfortunately this means we have to start taking Man Utd seriously again |

"Had to happen. RVN though! 🤔😕"
I think it did yes, they shouldn't have extended his contract in the summer but there's big questions about how some of the players just didn't perform..
There'll be a bounce back now and they'll look a different team.. |

No I don't think we'll have to, it will just be a case of 'rinse & repeat',

"Rightly sacked or let down by his squad..
Both? "
Yeah, I think it's this. His tactics have raised some questions but when we've played well, the team weren't finishing their chances such as at West Ham yesterday and Palace earlier this season. I think despite the two cups, 8th and now 14th isn't a great return and I don't think the injuries can be blamed this year. |

I think they had to stick or twist. He had one year left so guess they thought that if they couldn't sack him, they had to put out an appearance of backing him, which they did tbf. |

I think that's a fair assessment of where they were with who was available etc..
Southgate is free?

I can't see any manager being successfuk there. Ratcliffe has too much control over the manager and finances for someone to walk in amd make changes. Other than the pay off when you are sacked (which I bet will now go), why would you go to United. |

Judging by Xavi's wife's IG post, it could be him. God, the state of football gossip these days... 🤦♂️ |

I think I'm very disappointed by the whole thing. Ten Hag did so well with Ajax that when he was hired, I thought we were getting an elite manager in his prime and had such high hopes that by the end, it was almost a sunk cost fallacy to keep backing him. I genuinely don't know where they go from here or even who they can hire to begin to turn it around 😕 |

I think its a shame. No one should lose their job not long before Xmas. Irrespective of results he looks a thoughly decent man and I know I speak on behalf of all fellow Liverpool fans that today is a sad day for us all. |

"Sacked by the media and a horrible divided fanbase I'm afraid "
He sacked himself with his horrible talent ID, bewildering tactics and questionable man-management of individual players.
The fans literally wrote letters to ineos begging them not to sack him 😂 |

Its a tricky one. 21st currently in the PL and no wins in Europe this season. That, for a (so called) "elite" club is P45 territory.
But 2 trophies in 2 years??? Many clubs and fans would sell their left kidney for that level of success. Some certain clubs would be renaming their shiny new stadium after him, let alone a stand.
The issue as I think everyone knows isn't just ETH but a host of things not quite right with Man Utd. But 21st gets you the sack. End of. |

I'm going to walk away from this thread. I thought some serious discussion was to be had, but the lack of actual football knowledge is going to give me an aneurysm 🥴 |

As a Man Utd fan I feel Erik ten Hag should have been judged at the end of the season not in October.2 cups in two seasons are the positives.£600million spent on players and the performances on the pitch are disappointing these are the negatives. |

It's not just that he spent 600m on players, it's that the players he bought didn't seem to match the profile of the "possession based" style he allegedly wanted to play (and never did, btw)
Mis-profiling your own signings is the height of coaching incompetence.

It’s been a car crash from the start.
He’s been allowed to buy his Ajax players at extortionate prices.
He’s not improved any players since he’s been at the club.
Then the new management trying to find a better manager, all played out in front of everyone and then back tracking and giving him an extra year.
Plus the way they are handling getting rid of Fergie.
It all smacks of a club from top to bottom not having a clue.
If Utd think sacking ETH is the answer to all their problems then they are in for a shock.
Whoever comes in will just have the same effect unless they shake the club from the foundations up.

21st in a league of 20 ? He must be even worse than I thought. |

Haha! Even I wouldn't be THAT bad. Love it when auto-carrot ducks it up. I'm 110% sure I typed 14 so where 21 came from I have NO idea! |

There's more chance of Sir Alex coming back to Aberdeen, and the chances of that are zilch!! Lol |

"Reported he has received a £15m pay out for termination of contract.
Not bad for being crap "
Very good for being crap!! I was speaking to someone earlier and they said "if I got sacked from a job wouldn't get anything" |

Plus new money to make the squad changes they will no doubt want assurances on before putting pen to paper..
With him or her being their seventh manager since Fergie left they need to make the right decision this time.. |

Apparently there are talks to get Ruben Amorim from Sporting in. Two titles in a league where Benfica and Porto are the powerhouses and top of the league this season. Fuck it, I'm ready to be hurt again! |

As a Liverpool fan, I rather enjoyed Ten Hag's tenure
From this point on, I think Utd need to commit to a serious rebuilding job focused on incremental improvement rather than constantly overpaying at the top end of the market in the hope that the next overpriced signing will be the one that makes them contenders again. I doubt the Utd hierarchy has the patience for that approach though. |

Yet another PL club plays musical managers and expects a different outcome.
Prima donna poorly performing players have no incentive to improve when they know it is the manager who will carry the can.
Fergie was a great manager because the players knew the club valued him more than them. |

Yeah, throwing another 500 million at the problem looking for a quick fix won’t work.

I suppose the problem is also the outside pressure that comes with incremental building. If things don't go well straight away, questions will be asked of the manager, rival fans make the same shite jokes etc. |
