Patience runs out. Ratcliffe considers ten Hag’s dismissal

Manchester United’s leadership had given Erik ten Hag two games to turn things around, both of which ended in draws, and patience among the club’s hierarchy is now wearing thin.

Details: According to Sam Cohen from The United Stand, United co-owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe has grown discontent with ten Hag’s tenure and is leaning toward a change. However, as of the morning of October 7, Ratcliffe, the INEOS boss, had not yet made a final decision.

Cohen also confirms rumors about the club’s interest in bringing in Thomas Tuchel as ten Hag’s replacement. Interestingly, Tuchel’s inner circle is reportedly putting pressure on United, arguing that the German coach would be a strong successor to the Dutchman.

Background: Previous reports suggested that United’s management would consider dismissing ten Hag if he failed to win against Porto and Aston Villa. Both matches ended in draws (3-3 and 0-0, respectively).
