Gary Lineker believes Erik ten Hag’s time is up at Manchester United. The Red Devils were embarrassed on Saturday afternoon at Old Trafford as they were trashed 3-0 by relegation candidates Bournemouth.
United got off to the worst possible start when Dominic Solanke flicked a low cross past Andre Onana in the fifth minute to open up the scoring. Phillip Billing then doubled the visitors’ lead in the 68th minute before Marcos Sensei piled on the misery five minutes later.
United could have lost by an even larger margin if it wasn’t for VAR intervention with Luis Sinisterra’s added time strike chalked off for a handball. Ten Hag’s men looked a far cry away from the side that battled so admirably against Chelsea in midweek.
Barely any of the team besides Marcus Rashford, who put on a spirited display off the bench, looked like they were up for the game and questions will now be asked of the manager once again.
Ten Hag is facing an uncertain future at Old Trafford with problems both on and off the pitch. Besides their inconsistent performances, there are also reports of a dressing room revolt over the Dutchman’s handling of his players’ concerns.
Ten Hag may have scooped the manager of the month award in November but today’s results will no doubt put his position in jeopardy. Lineker thinks this could be the end of the road for the ex-Ajax boss as he took to social media to pose the question: “Has anyone ever won manager of the month and lost their job in the same weekend?”
