Erik Ten Hag’s time at Manchester United seems to be soon running out as the Red Devils lost 4-0 against Crystal Palace in the Premier League at Selhurst Park. Reports a few months ago suggested that Ten Hag will be in charge of the team next season, with co-owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe happy with him and willing to give him signings this upcoming summer transfer window. With another loss in the Premier League, names like Zinedine Zidane get closer to Manchester United as the club will look at options if they decide to sack Ten Hag after the season is over. Cristiano Ronaldo fans are enjoying Ten Hag’s poor performances with Manchester United since the Portuguese striker questioned the manager in the past when he was on the team from 2021 to 2022.
Zidane to Machester United gets closer after he denied having talks with Bayern Munich, who are looking for a replacement for Thomas Tuchel, who agreed to part ways with the German giants due to inconsistent results this season. Zidane was asked about potentially becoming the new Bayern Munich coach next season, but the French coach said, “No. I’m going to watch the game [Real Madrid vs. Bayern]. hopefully, Real Madrid will win.”
The result against Crystal Palace puts a perspective on how poor the team has been this season. The 4-0 loss means that Manchester United has conceded 81 goals this season in all competitions, which is the highest total in the club’s history since 1976-77. Another poor stat the team has is that Manchester United has lost 13 games in a single Premier League season for the first time in history. The Red Devils are 8th in the Premier League with 54 points and are behind Chelsea, Newcastle United, and Tottenham.
Manchester United’s next game
It doesn’t get easier for Manchester United in the Premier League as they will face Arsenal at Old Trafford this weekend. Arsenal are first in the Premier League with 83 points after 36 games played and are in a title race with Manchester City. The last time the two sides faced each other, Arsenal defeated Man United 3-1 at the Emirates Stadium. The Gunners have won the last four matches in the Premier League.
