Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag's position remains precarious despite recent draws, as history suggests his time at the club may be coming to an end. The article analyzes past managerial dismissals at United, comparing Ten Hag's situation with previous incumbents like Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, Jose Mourinho, Louis van Gaal, and David Moyes.
If Erik ten Hag enters the Jimmy Murphy Centre next Thursday for the pre-match press conference, he has not dodged the bullet just yet.
Moyes spent that bank holiday putting finishing touches to an intended move for Luke Shaw. A United manager had not been sacked in 27-and-a-half years. The promise of it was as seismic and sudden for the Moyes household as it was for United followers. Time is of the essence for the current United regime and yet they also have time. There is not a game for ten days, the players and coaching staff are scattered across the globe and training will not restart until next week.
Liverpool were far more decisive with Brendan Rodgers, sacked hours after a Merseyside derby stalemate in October 2015. Liverpool were six unbeaten and had a golden duck lined up in Jurgen Klopp. Woodward plumped for Mourinho as he represented near-instant results. United lifted two trophies in his first season and returned to the Champions League in euphoric and emotive scenes two days after the Manchester Arena attack.
United were caught short when their form spiralled under Solskjaer. He was furnished with a new three-year contract in July 2021, so after Liverpool annihilated United 5-0 at Old Trafford in October the club did not have a replacement lined up. Incoming chief executive Richard Arnold walked through the press room that day, followed by two underlings. They did not resemble an execution squad.
