Will Manchester United sack Erik ten Hag after loss against West Ham

Erik ten Hag is currently the favorite to be the next manager dismissed after Manchester United's defeat against West Ham. The match, initially uneventful, saw a rise in excitement with Lucas Paqueta's brilliant assist leading to Jarrod Bowen's goal in the latter part of the second half.

Mohammed Kudus secured a second goal shortly thereafter, leaving Manchester United without a response.

United suffered their 13th loss in a season marked by Champions League elimination, finishing at the bottom of a group that included Copenhagen and Galatasaray.


Additionally, they exited the Carabao Cup with a 3-0 home defeat to an injury-plagued Newcastle. Facing their own injury challenges, United had over 10 first-team players unavailable for Saturday's match at the London Stadium, leading manager Ten Hag to grant young defender Willy Kambwala a surprising debut.

United currently sit in eighth place in the Premier League as they approach Christmas, with a Boxing Day clash against high-flying Aston Villa at Old Trafford on the horizon.

United supporters seem to have become weary of Ten Hag's presence on the sidelines and are urging the club to appoint a new manager.

A disgruntled fan expressed on X: "I've had enough of #TenHagOut, utterly frustrating to watch this every week."

Another comment reads: "It's time to unveil this impostor. #tenhagout.”

While there's no indication that Ten Hag won't be in the dugout for the upcoming game, bookmakers suggest that his tenure might be in jeopardy.
