Manchester United icon Gary Neville has strongly cautioned against the idea of removing manager Erik ten Hag from his position at the Premier League club.
Neville’s remarks came in response to the Red Devils’ disheartening 3-0 loss to Bournemouth during their recent home fixture.
In the upcoming week, United faces a crucial challenge in their bid to avoid an early departure from the Champions League as they gear up to host Bayern Munich in their final group stage match.
Adding to their challenges, the team will confront Liverpool in the league without their suspended captain, Bruno Fernandes, in an anticipated weekend clash.
Speculations have emerged suggesting the potential dismissal of Ten Hag should the team continue to face unfavorable outcomes.
However, Neville, in his podcast commentary, expressed his hope for Ten Hag to steer the team’s fortunes positively this season, emphasizing the need for improvements in the current scenario. Neville firmly opposed the notion of replacing Ten Hag during this season, asserting that the idea of dismissing him is baseless and unwarranted. He iterated his disapproval, stating, “This talk of sacking him is absolutely ridiculous. I wouldn’t endorse such a move in any case.”
