Five games that counted against Erik ten Hag after Manchester United sacking

breakingnews.ie

Erik ten Hag has been sacked as Manchester United manager. United’s new ownership have made the move after a poor start to the season, which continued at West Ham on Sunday when they slipped to their fourth Premier League defeat of the campaign.

They sit in 14th place and have won only one of their last eight games in all competitions. Here, we look at five games that counted against the former Ajax boss in his final 12 months in charge.

A 2-1 win over Chelsea in early December was arguably United’s best performance of the season to that point and should have been something to build on.

Instead, just three days later they were embarrassed by Andoni Iraola’s Cherries as Bournemouth enjoyed a first victory at Old Trafford – and in some style.
