Erik ten Hag was keen to emphasise how injuries and luck had gone against him, but the Dutchman’s protestations proved an aggravating factor for Manchester United fans – and, perhaps, the club’s decision-makers – in the context of his time in charge at the club.

United’s dreadful form justifies the Ineos Group, who took over the footballing side of the club in February, acting now. No manager in the club’s history has a lower win percentage than Ten Hag’s tally of four from 14 matches in all competitions in 2024-25, representing less than 29%.
Captain Bruno Fernandes has called on United fans to remember the rare high points of Ten Hag’s time at Old Trafford and their two glorious days under him were enough for the former Ajax manager to…
