Man United manager Erik ten Hag is clearly under pressure from certain quarters but a change of boss is not the answer for the Reds
The defeat to FC Copenhagen in the Champions League on Wednesday night felt distinctively different to the losses which have proceeded it this season. Yes, United had spells but their capitulation right at the death has left their European journey hanging firmly in the balance.
Instead, they are out of the Carabao Cup and are on the verge of a Champions League exit too. Something needs to change but the manager is not the answer. "He's had a few injuries, but nine defeats in 17 games is not good enough. All of those managers have been sacked in that second or third year, but I don't think we can afford to do that anymore.
United have been down the route of chopping and changing managers at will. When David Moyes didn't work out they sacked him, when Louis van Gaal failed, they sacked him, Jose Mourinho, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer... All of these managers met the same fate.
