Former Manchester United captain Gary Neville has said the idea of the club sacking boss Erik ten Hag is "absolute nonsense".United suffered their 11th defeat of the season in all competitions, and seventh in the Premier League, on Saturday as they crashed to a 3-0 home loss to Bournemouth.Neville says there is "no way" Ten Hag should be sacked this term and pointed the finger at United's owners the Glazer family.Speaking to Sky Sports, Neville said of Ten Hag: "I fear for him generally, not really just because of this week (when United play Bayern Munich and Liverpool).

Just more generally around the way in which a cycle is repeating itself again."I hope that somehow Erik ten Hag can turn it around this season and that ultimately he can improve what’s happening at the moment – or else he will be in trouble, it’s just inevitable.

We’ve seen it with (previous United managers) Ole (Gunnar Solskjaer), Jose (Mourinho) and Louis van Gaal."There’s no way they should change him this season, this idea of sacking him is absolute nonsense.

I wouldn’t be in favour of that."The lack of leadership and structure above him…I know people say you can’t blame the Glazers – yeah you can.
