According to reports, players under Erik ten Hag at Manchester United anticipate the manager’s departure before the upcoming season begins.
Despite leading the team to significant achievements in his first season, including reaching the FA Cup final and securing a top-four finish in the Premier League, the campaign has been marred by inconsistency and early exits from competitions.
Recent losses have intensified pressure on Ten Hag, especially with Sir Jim Ratcliffe taking over football operations following a recent ownership deal. There’s speculation that Ratcliffe might opt for a managerial change in the summer.

While Ten Hag enjoys support from the dressing room, there’s growing skepticism among players regarding his future. Many believe that the club’s new co-owners, Ineos, will likely make a managerial change, leading to uncertainty despite positive discussions between Ten Hag and the new management.
While Zinedine Zidane has been linked to the role, transfer expert Fabrizio Romano indicates that there have been no concrete contacts between Zidane and Manchester United at this stage.
