Sunday's meek 3-0 surrender astatine location to Tottenham has near Ten Hag facing must-win games against FC Porto and Aston Villa aboriginal this week with his semipermanent aboriginal looking progressively bleak. With reports erstwhile again debating Ten Hag's aboriginal up of the upcoming planetary break, we asked the Mirror Football squad to present their verdict connected the Red Devils chief...

Simon Mullock

If determination was an evident replacement for Erik 10 Hag disposable past the Dutchman would person been toast successful the summer.

To sack Ten Hag present would beryllium an admittance of guilt from Sir Jim Ratcliffe that his INEOS brains spot didn't conscionable get it incorrect by handing Ten Hag a reprieve, they compounded the mistake by giving him different £220million to walk connected caller signings.

United fans blasted the Glazers for United's autumn from grace. Sacking Ten Hag aft conscionable six games would beryllium a lawsuit of "meet the caller boss, aforesaid arsenic the aged boss."

There is thing structurally incorrect astatine Old Trafford - and I'm not talking astir the dilapidated authorities of the stadium.

The accomplishment of Ratcliffe and the consequent appointments of Omar Berrada, Dan Ashworth and Jason Wilcox was expected to beryllium a large portion of the solution.

Bayern Munich would person appointed Ten Hag successful the summertime had United sacked the Dutchman aft winning the FA Cup.

Even if United place him arsenic THE problem, it's wide they person nary existent solution.

Join the debate! Do you deliberation Ten Hag's clip astatine Man Utd is up? Let america cognize here.

Daniel Orme

Yes, Manchester United should chopped Erik 10 Hag adrift. Ever since the Dutchman arrived astatine Old Trafford, determination has been adjacent to nary progress.

There is nary defined benignant of play. Players person been woefully underperforming and it is wide that the nine hierarchy person been acceptable to determination connected for immoderate time.

Sure, a alteration successful manager is not ever the reply but it is wide that determination are acold much questions erstwhile it comes to Ten Hag.

Jeremy Cross

The elemental reply is yes.

The Manchester United squad is present his, pursuing immense concern of much than £600m connected signings Erik 10 Hag demanded.

The tactics and individuality of immoderate broadside bespeak the manager successful charge, and United are obscurity adjacent wherever they should be.

It's wide United won't scope the levels they privation to nether Ten Hag, truthful sack him now. Why wait?

Mike Walters

Hindsight is simply a wondrous asset, but Ten Hag should person been presented with his carriage timepiece aft the FA Cup final.

That would person allowed him to bow retired connected a enactment of triumph, revered by the fans, but alternatively helium was handed different transportation treasure thorax successful the summertime - and it doesn’t look arsenic if helium spent it wisely.

If Ugarte, Zirkzee, De Ligt and Mazraoui were specified red-hot players, Man City, Arsenal and Liverpool would person been aft them.

The car-crash show against Tottenham was different mishap waiting to hap aft United had already been taken isolated astatine Old Trafford by Liverpool past month.

Enough is enough, and present Sir Jim’s politburo indispensable determine whether to person immoderate amusive oregon rebuild successful earnest.

Scott Trotter

Should Erik 10 Hag beryllium sacked? The portfolio of performances that would suggest truthful lone seems to beryllium increasing.

Home defeats to Liverpool and Tottenham person indicated the gulf the Red Devils look to situation conscionable for a spot successful Europe this word and a deficiency of ideas successful beforehand of extremity bespeak issues that won't beryllium fixed quickly.

Those of a United persuasion volition anticipation Ten Hag has much convincing answers down the scenes with respect to improving his broadside than he's had connected camera frankincense far. With Bruno Fernandes acceptable to person a prohibition and Aston Villa waiting, things won't get immoderate easier.

But, contempt each that, the Premier League play is lone six games old. Ten Hag intelligibly had power implicit the summer's transportation concern successful coordination with the caller hierarchy, it would beryllium unusual to let his input to past lumber idiosyncratic other with his choices.

Patience is required, but it should beryllium wearing thin.

Andy Dunn

The cardinal occupation astatine Old Trafford is that the squad is not acceptable for purpose, that intent being to vie efficaciously astatine the apical array of elite football, week in, week out.

Having rubber-stamped immoderate unspeakable purchases, Ten Hag has to instrumentality immoderate work for that but helium is not the lone culpable party.

And connected their day, United tin beryllium a threatening opponent.

However, determination are excessively galore performances bereft of dynamism, abbreviated of committedness and lacking successful tactical nous for him to enactment on.

Neil McLeman

Should Man Utd sack Erik 10 Hag and, if so, who should regenerate him?

Yes. After much than 2 years and 123 games, the Dutchman’s squad is inactive a shambles - and helium is inactive successful denial.

Ten Hag was fixed a enactment of execution successful the summertime aft winning the FA Cup and backed again with a caller declaration and caller signings. Yet aft finishing eighth past season, they are present down successful 12th beneath Fulham, Brentford, Brighton and Nottingham Forest. It cannot spell connected similar this. Two much defeats - oregon mediocre performances - against Porto and Villa and helium volition beryllium gone.

Mark Jones

Manchester United conceded much goals than they scored successful the Premier League past season. How connected world that wasn't justification to sack Erik 10 Hag determination and past I'll ne'er know.

Of people the FA Cup last triumph implicit a shattered Manchester City papered implicit cracks the size of the holes successful the Old Trafford roof, and definite capable we were past subjected to accustomed cheerleading from United favourites who had abruptly decided everything was going to beryllium alright again for reasons champion known to themselves.

They're going obscurity nether Ten Hag, and each Sunday was a repetition of the benignant of Old Trafford embarrassment fans person go accustomed to implicit caller years. It wouldn't really astonishment maine present if they got decent results against Porto and Aston Villa due to the fact that that's the benignant of happening they do, but past it wouldn't beryllium agelong earlier we were each present again answering the aforesaid questions aft their adjacent miserable defeat.

So get rid. Go backmost successful clip to the summertime and get escaped then, if you can.

Simon Bird

Erik 10 Hag has had ample clip to amusement helium tin amended Manchester United.

There’s nary grounds truthful acold that this play volition beryllium immoderate antithetic from the past one. A scramble for determination betwixt 6th and eighth, and possibly bash the concern successful the cups.

United request consistency and an individuality connected the pitch, and it’s each a spot of a rabble. Ten Hag volition spell astatine immoderate constituent earlier January.

David Anderson

Manchester United should sack Erik 10 Hag and they should person axed him astatine the extremity of past season.

They bottled it due to the fact that helium bushed Manchester City against each the likelihood successful the FA Cup Final, but present determination shouldn’t beryllium immoderate doubt.

Sunday was pitiful and it near Ten Hag with nary excuses due to the fact that that was his team, which has outgo implicit £600million.

That broadside is bully capable for the apical 4 and the occupation is intelligibly 10 Hag, he’s conscionable not getting the champion retired of them.
