Amidst widespread speculation about his future at Manchester United, Erik ten Hag has received mixed reactions from the football community. While critics like Chris Sutton have harshly criticized his management, calling the situation a 'car crash', prominent figures such as Gary Neville, David Beckham, and Mikel Arteta have voiced their support for ten Hag. Neville, a former Manchester United defender, emphasized the lack of suitable replacements and urged the club to retain ten Hag. Beckham also defended the Dutch manager, urging Manchester United players to enhance their performances. Additionally, amidst an ongoing structural review by potential new owner Jim Ratcliffe and INEOS, high-ranking executives at Manchester United are facing removals, yet ten Hag might still see a glimmer of hope for retention. Notably, Steve McClaren is expected to remain with the club even if ten Hag is dismissed, regarded as compatible with any new managerial regime.
