Erik ten Hag’s position at Manchester United is currently in jeopardy due to the team’s disappointing performance in the Champions League, which has intensified the scrutiny on him. The Red Devils’ last-place finish in the group stage, with only one victory, has led to speculation regarding the Dutchman’s continuation with the club. The impending possibility of another defeat against Liverpool may serve as the decisive blow for Ten Hag, as it is reported that potential new owner, Sir Jim Ratcliffe, is contemplating a replacement.
Moreover, the absence of suspended captain Bruno Fernandes has sparked apprehension among supporters. Yet, former Red, Danny Murphy, opines that this may present an opportunity to field a more formidable midfield against Liverpool.
The inconsistent form of Rashford has also caused concern. Ten Hag is optimistic that a strong push will rekindle Rashford’s capabilities and result in a more favourable outcome against Liverpool.
In terms of transfers, Donny van de Beek is poised to depart for Eintracht Frankfurt on loan, in search of more playing time. Additionally, discussions are ongoing regarding a potential transfer of Sporting Lisbon’s Goncalo Inacio to Arsenal, although Manchester United’s recruitment team is also working on new signings.
As the team prepares for the crucial match against Liverpool, the primary focus remains on preparation and improvement, with Ten Hag expressing confidence in United’s long-term prospects. Nonetheless, the pressure continues to mount as speculation regarding his job security persists.
Lastly, PSG’s interest in Casemiro has fuelled further speculation regarding the Brazilian midfielder’s future.
