Manchester United coach Erik Ten Hag sent an emotional message of him begging Sir Jim Ratcliffe not to fire him and replace him with Thomas Tuchel

When Manchester United is under a lot of stress, manager Erik ten Hag has said that he is “sure” that things will get better at Old Trafford if the team stays together.

United’s poor Premier League season comes to an end on Sunday afternoon. In the last game, United plays Brighton and Hove Albion on the south coast. They could still qualify for Europe.

At the moment, United is in eighth place in the table, tied with Newcastle for seventh place on points and three points behind sixth-placed Chelsea. United can still qualify for Europe if they win the FA Cup against Man City at Wembley, even if they don’t finish in a European spot.

Due to poor play and results this season, boss Ten Hag is under more and more pressure. Since Sir Jim Ratcliffe bought the club, there has been doubt about his future.

The job has been linked to a lot of managers, like Thomas Tuchel and Gareth Southgate. But Ten Hag looks like he’s trying to keep his job. In his pre-game notes for Wednesday’s game, the Dutch manager used Arsenal as an example of sticking with a plan, and he seems to have said the same thing before the Brighton game.

He told the club’s website, “We put a lot into hard times, the fans and the team.” “When you stay together, you have fun, and I’m sure more fun times will come.”

“The fans see and understand that we’re getting stronger, and they count on us.” We need to pay them back.

It remains to be seen if Ratliffe and the people who make decisions at Old Trafford will pay attention to that message. There will likely be a lot of uncertainty about the manager’s future until a choice is made.
