“I feel for him”. Carragher doubts ten Hag will last the season

Erik ten Hag’s future as Manchester United manager is increasingly uncertain, with rumors circulating that he could be dismissed as early as October. Even if the Dutchman keeps his role for now, many experts doubt he’ll see out the season through to June.

Details: Former Liverpool player Jamie Carragher expressed sympathy for ten Hag, noting that other coaches have been contacted behind his back. However, Carragher believes there’s been little improvement in United’s performance, suggesting that Ten Hag could be dismissed mid-season.

Quote: “It will likely be hard for him to hold on until the next international break. He might still be the coach by then. Look, if results improve, of course, he’ll stay. But with Manchester United, it’s not just about results. It’s also about the way they play. Often, even when they win, it feels somewhat unconvincing.

“I feel for him. In my view, he’s been left to fend for himself, especially after this summer when the owners were talking with other coaches. I’m sorry for him. No coach wants to see their management openly discussing replacements with others in the sport. But it will be difficult for him to finish this season,” Carragher said on Sky Sports.
