Manchester United legend Teddy Sheringham has slammed current manager Erik ten Hag for only delivering unimportant trophies like the FA Cup and Carabao Cup.
Sheringham, speaking at the launch of Ladbrokes’ “Gaffer of all Accas”, made it clear he expects Ten Hag will be gone by Christmas, even though he admits it’s never nice to see managers losing their jobs.
The Dutch tactician has divided opinion during his time at Man Utd so far, winning two domestic cups in two seasons but generally under-achieving a lot in the competitions that matter – the Premier League and Champions League.
Some Red Devils fans will no doubt have enjoyed the silverware that Ten Hag has delivered, particularly as that FA Cup final win back in May came against bitter rivals Manchester City, but they will also be well aware that the football being produced by this expensively-assembled squad most weeks is far from good enough.
Sheringham certainly doesn’t seem impressed and has even dismissed the cup competitions altogether, as they weren’t ever seen as anything but a nice bonus when he was playing at Old Trafford during the Sir Alex Ferguson years.
Ten Hag won’t last much longer at Man Utd, says Sheringham

“When you’re finishing eighth in the Premier League, that’s quite clearly not good enough, for Man United. Full stop. End of story, for me. You’ve got to change what’s going on,” Sheringham said.
“When you look at the inconsistency of last season, and that has followed on, without a shadow of the doubt in the first three games of this season… you can see there’s been no change whatsoever. Different players, maybe. But still no change in the philosophy, and the way Erik ten Hag wants to play.
“Look, I don’t want to see people getting sacked, It’s not nice to say that people shouldn’t be in certain positions, but he shouldn’t be there. It’s not good enough for Man United….
