Erik Ten Hag isn’t exactly having the best of times at Manchester United at the moment.
The Dutch coach has lost eight of his first 15 matches this season, and time is running out for him to turn things around.
What’s happening at FC Basel?
We’ve seen this time and time again at United, and we’re getting to the point where the fans are starting to turn on the manager.
Speaking on the It’s All Kicking Off podcast, Chris Sutton discussed the current fate of Ten Hag and he proposed an interesting theory.
Sutton says Ten Hag have not been helped by the likes of Ange Postecoglou and Roberto De Zerbi, who have made their mark on their team from day one, while it has been 18 months since his reign.

“The reality is that the team is in decline.
Managers like Ange Postecoglou and Roberto De Zerbi don’t help because they have an identity, right now Manchester United look like they’re drowning,” said Sutton.
“It’s a big problem.
Ten Hag is responsible for what happened.
” is happening.
Now he’s under the pump.
Results are results You can try passing on Ten Hag’s problem to other managers if you want, but in the end the results tell the story.
Finishing 8th in the Premier League with a negative goal difference, being eliminated from the Carabao Cup and getting off to a poor start in the Champions League, this is why Ten Hag is under pressure.
Let’s be honest, this United team last season didn’t really have an identity, but the results were in and no one made a fuss about it at the time.
If Ten Hag wins the game there won’t be any problem, and the fact that his team doesn’t have a clear identity like Postecoglou’s Spurs or De Zerbi’s Brighton doesn’t play much of a role in our announcement.
