Erik ten Hag faces Man Utd sack before Jose Mourinho return

Erik ten Hag could be sacked by Manchester United if he fails to beat Brentford at the weekend.

United are 14th in the Premier League and have scored just five times and won two matches in the league.


According to the Daily Mail, Ten Hag is on thin ice at Old Trafford and a defeat to Brentford on Saturday could see him sacked.

The Dutchman staved off the sack before the international break after being given matches against Porto and Aston Villa to save his job.

United drew both games, including a last-gasp equaliser against Porto in the Europa League, which neither granted him much staying power or bad enough to rip up his contract.

Now Ten Hag is facing another ultimatum ahead of Brentford’s arrival at Old Trafford on Saturday afternoon.

Which might get a wry smile out of the man they face next after Brentford – Jose Mourinho.

The Special One took charge of Fenerbahce in the summer and it was almost written in the stars that they would face his old club United in the Europa League.

The Red Devils will travel to Turkey to take on the Super Lig outfit at the Sukru Saracoglu Stadium.

But whether Ten Hag will make the trip too remains to be seen.

Within months of the third season, United sacked Mourinho a week before Christmas with the club 19 points off the top.

Ten Hag, meanwhile, has overseen United’s worst-ever finish in the Premier League when they finished eighth last season and this year has also started poorly, too.
