Ten Hag out of time at Manchester United, former players say

Former Manchester United players have expressed their belief that Erik ten Hag's time as manager has come to an end. Following their 4-0 loss to Crystal Palace in the Premier League, it is unlikely that he will be given another year in charge.

This defeat marked United's 13th in the league this season, leaving them in eighth place and facing the possibility of not qualifying for European football next season. The team's defensive record has been abysmal, conceding a total of 81 goals in all competitions, their worst performance since the 1976-77 season.

Paul Scholes, a former United midfielder, described the loss as the final blow for Ten Hag. He criticized the team for their lack of knowledge and effort, expressing his disappointment. Scholes had previously thought that Ten Hag might be given another year, especially with the club's new owners, but now it seems unlikely. The situation is clear, and it feels like Ten Hag's time is running out.

Michael Owen, who played for United from 2009-2012, believes that the club's board should take immediate action and dismiss Ten Hag before the end of the season. Despite the upcoming FA Cup final against Manchester City, Owen insists that Ten Hag cannot manage the team next season. He suggests that the board needs to be radical and make a change now, considering the high stakes involved.

With three league games remaining, including matches against Arsenal and Newcastle, followed by a final game against Brighton, former United defender Ashley Young expressed his concern that the team may not win any of these matches. He described the defending as shambolic and criticized United's overall performance. If the team continues to display such poor performances, they will miss out on their objectives.

In conclusion, it is evident that Ten Hag's time at Manchester United is coming to an end. The team's poor results and defensive shortcomings have led former players to believe that a change is necessary. The board may need to take immediate action to salvage the remainder of the season and plan for the future.
