Erik ten Hag's position as Man United manager is becoming more and more uncertain, meaning Sir Jim Ratcliffe may be forced into taking decisive action.
Following Saturday's 2-2 draw with Bournemouth, Manchester United have a maximum of eight games left this season.
READ MORE: Some United players delaying decisions on futures as they expect Erik ten Hag to be sackedWith United's Premier League campaign now in danger of petering out, there is also a danger the Europa League theme tune will not be played, either. The Reds have won just one of their last seven Premier League games and are winless in four.
Since the pause, United have played four, lost one and drawn three. If they don't get their first post-international break win on the board against Coventry City at Wembley, it will be nigh-on impossible for even the most staunch Ten Hag supporter to continue backing him. Based on United's uninspiring style of play and their worsening performance levels, it is beginning to feel inevitable that Ratcliffe will decide to make a change. But if Ratcliffe does decide to pull the trigger, who does he turn to? It is a question nobody has an immediate answer to. There is not an obvious, standout candidate.
Back in 2013, Sir Alex Ferguson recommended that David Moyes should replace him following his retirement. It marked another instance where the Glazers had a relatively simple decision to make.
