According to journalist Andy Mitten, member of the Glazer family Joel Glazer spoke to Manchester United fans recently about Erik ten Hag.
The Dutch manager faces an uncertain future at the club after a poor start to the season that has seen the Red Devils drop to 14th position in the Premier League.
Man United have made their worst start to a Premier League season this time, with the club winning only eight points from their first seven matches.
Along with poor results, the manner of their defeats against Liverpool and Tottenham at Old Trafford has raised concerns over the direction the club is heading under the leadership of manager Ten Hag.
The club’s poor form has seen Ten Hag linked with an exit from the club with the likes of Thomas Tuchel, Simone Inzaghi and Thomas Frank being mentioned in the media as the managers being targeted by the Premier League giants.
Mitten has revealed that Glazer talked to the fans recently and the Man United faithful have little faith in Ten Hag.
Speaking on the Talk of the Devils podcast, he said:
“I think you’re right, Laurie, about Joel Glazer. That is the first time he has sat face-to-face with with Manchester United fans, because he called in on Zoom last time. So that is significant, and what’s happening now, I mean, I feel like my anger came across in the podcast a week ago. I think I’ve gone through that stage now. I wouldn’t say that I’m resigned, but I didn’t expect United to win at Villa. But then the game starts, and you go on, go on, and it’s not a bad result, 0-0 against Aston Villa. But, it’s under this huge cloud at the moment of a really poor start to the season, poor results, uncertainty around the manager. The fans, I think there’s very, very little support for Erik ten Hag.”
It seems that Ten Hag has lost the support of the fans at the club and it is not a surprise considering how they have performed under him.
The manager is now in his third season at the club and he has failed to raise the standards of the team, on and off the pitch.
Erik ten Hag is struggling at Man United
Their performance levels have dropped consistently and despite being backed by the club with new signings in every transfer window he has been at the club, he has failed to deliver positive results.
Not only the results have been poor but their playing style has still not improved under the Dutch manager and it is clear that they have regressed compared to their time under previous manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.
The Man United hierarchy have met and discussed the future of the manager and his performance this season and it still remains to be seen if they will part ways with the manager or continue to support him.
Ten hag has nothing to offer to the club i don’t know why u people are not see this,no style of play no first eleven since how many season,let try another coach
Change the GOAL KEEPER FIRST
I totally agree, Onana is a clown. He is not premiership Standard.
Ok, will that transform the strikers? Because they miss opportunity after opportunity. The out fielder can’t pass the ball to their team mates, how is the goalkeeper going to improve that? When United didn’t have a DoF, that was the excuse. Other notable excuses. Manager didn’t get the players he wanted, didn’t have a proper preseason, …. this Manager got all he wanted and United is 14th, 8 points from 7, 21st in Europa, negative GD… Ineos should have never extended his contract, because he’s doing a Jose, get fired and his entire Dutch get a fat exit settlement. Winning the FA Cup was the worst thing to happen, I suspect Pep threw it away so United is stuck with a useless Manager.
ETH = OLE = DELUSIONAL
By sacking Ten Hag and bring in world top manager, is there any gurantee he can bring an instant success and consistency to the current team. Fan like me keep on wondering where are the roots of the club disaster, is it because of the club manager, players or club management.
The problem is the manager. It’s always easy to spot if it’s the players letting the manager down, where there is a game plan, it’s easy to note. However in our case there is no game plan, no approach plan. Furthermore to show just how confused the manager is, he keeps rotating his team. It’s easy to maintain discipline in the team if the manager knows how to communicate what he wants to his team. All the players he found in good form are now a shadow of themselves and those he offloaded are performing wonders in their new clubs. The problem we made was not to listen to Ronaldo and this guy we loaned to Chelsea
Agree with you , no point to change now , give him until May .
After United is relegated to the Division 1?
Some of the comments especially from African fans are laughable, stupid & retard.
Why are you singling out Africans. I have heard fans from different countries make similar remarks. ETH is still useless & delusional.
Which did you contribute. You’re the kind of person that sits on the fence and laugh sheepishly without any positive effects to any solution
We must sack Ten Hag and bring in a top manager to get this great club back to where they belong, challenging for honours every year.
We need someone that has a good pattern of play and has knowledge of the game in the Premiership and in Europe.
Tuchel would be a good choice.
Probably the Glazers and Sir Jim Ratclifffe cannot find the money to pay off Erik ten Hag and delaying the sacking to find the “money” to get rid of him.
So probably both Sir Jim Ratcliffe and the Glazers will sell the shares to finance Erik ten Hag’s severance package.
Here here idiots
What a load of crap your thick and clu9
U,s. People are so short sighted.My husband who is Scottish has supported them from 1958when he 17was1seen the good and the bad times even under Fergie.he has lived in England since 1959.it’s not ETH that’s ruined United it’s the glaziers.if SJRwas a true supporter he should have stayed out of the bidding and let the Qataris take on the yanks.we would not have any money worries.So ETH is not to blame.
Good news: Simone Insaghi is learning english. Wants to reject any ManUnited aprouch
Ten -Hag has nothing to offer again in Man u any more. Allow him to go elsewhere. Or else, he will lead the club to relegation.
I have persistently stated that Sir Ratcliffe started well by bringing in professional backroom staff and he needs to engage a new manager who understands how the Ineos group intends to redeem the club and put it on its proper perspective. Eric ten Hag has failed dismally and has totally lost the dressing room and oŕ divided it . Time is now for Eric ten hag to be relieved of his post.
Why are you singling out Africans. I have heard fans from different countries make similar remarks. ETH is still useless & delusional.
ETH should resign honourably or get fired. His too many excuses and patternless displays are so irritating.
No ways. It’s going to take sometime so guys you need to be patient.
Top 4 and trophy would be okk for this season.
Top four under who? Erik ten hag!!!!!
You in dreamland bru not with clueless ten hag .
Depressing watching Man U. ETH is absolutely useless as Manager of a club I supported since a young man. I’m now 77.
Would the board who were watching at Villa pls do the right thing. Get rid of Ten Hag now.
It’s obvious that Ten Hag has nothing to offer to a big club like Manchester united. We can’t see any form of tactical approach towards games, sometimes I wonder the style of football he wants the players to play.
It’s better for the club to sack him if they actually want the club to make progress.
I’m sorry to say but it looks like ten hag is clueless it appears that the team is going out without any sort of game plan or formation nobody seems to know what they are supposed to be doing and to be honest some of the players he’s brought in are not good enough and some of the lads he has let go were far better if this club is too get back to were Radcliffe says he wants us to be then he has to sack ten hag now or we can forget about any possible top four finish in fact it’s not even guaranteed to be a top ten finish
Ten Hag is clueless, he needs to go asap
Relegation is a possibility if the board gives Ten Hag another lifeline. Currently 14th and sliding. There is just no end to his ‘ Process ‘.
The sooner this clown ETH is relieved the better. He has sunk our beloved club to unacceptably low low levels. He is indeed a clueless fellow who’s a great liability for this great institution.
The best manager for Man United is Ole Gunnar Solskjaer. He just needed a little more time. He is the only capable manager for United and not the other bigger names like Tuchel, Frank, Southgate, Zidane. Ole is the most idea coach but if he is not available there is Nagelsman, Xabi and maybe Carrick.
Erik ten hag has nothing left to offer. Epl is too big for him. It’s two options here, Erik to resign or be fired before we count the season off, under a new manager like tuchel man utd can finish top four but too long waiting utd heading to religation under the Dutchman
Enough is enough. Ten hag out.
I personally don’t blame ten hag but the ineos team who extended his contract after a dismal last season. Finishing 8th with a minus goal difference. But they brought him back just because he won the FA cup . What rubbish. Can this be tolerated at Real Madrid or other top clubs . Never. I then lost confidence in the ineos team. The rest is history.
You are right
Sack him immediately,Man U is big club,he got no sense of direction,poor tactics and confusing the players with every match,simply he got no game plan against opposition,there are more professional coaches out there than he is,let him go back to Ajax or Twente another coach will make a serious impact,but it cannot happen as of the first game,but fans hang ten must go,I am a die hard fan,but really disappointed of late.
If Man U retains Eric Ten Hag then it should be prepared for relegation by the end of the season. Is it money that’s hindering Man U from hiring a world class coach? Make no mistake about it, Man U is one of the biggest clubs in the world. Why are they wasting time with Ten Hag?Get rid of him now!
Ten Hag’s “Process” is probably seeing Man U relegated!
I think the time has come, we need a manager who can motivate the players and start getting some good results, we should be beating this lesser teams not drawing and dropping points. I have been a supporter since 1963 and not seen things this bad, bring back Sir Alex.

I think ETH training sessions need to be looked at. Far too many injured players. Why let Shaw play in Euros if he was injured? Onana is a clown and not Premiership standard.
3 years is ling enough for anyone to prove themselves, ETH has failed. Cut him out and move on.
This is a worthless article.
English Media will carry on spreading lies about Erik ten Hag until he is sacked or wins the league. Graham Potter recently said that he’d take what they wrote with a pinch of salt. “They have been linking me to clubs I knew nothing about,” he said. I suppose it is all in pursuit of our money. They also must earn a living, even dishonestly!
I have loyally supported United since the 70’s. But Ten Hag.. 😔 ..this man has, over the last 3 seasons, removed all the joy and excitement I had of watching my team. Win lose or draw the team always had at least a work ethic, pattern of play and shape. Now I can’t understand a thing he’s trying to do, what is he coaching them all week! This process he bangs on about sticking to? What is it? United in the Championship? 🤔
