After Manchester United suffered a 0-3 defeat to Liverpool in the third round of the 2024/25 Premier League season, Ten Hag’s future at the Red Devils has become more uncertain than ever.
According to the latest news, Ten Hag is now second on the list of Premier League managers most likely to be sacked, with odds of 7/2, down from 11/2 previously, indicating a significant change in his situation.
The current top-ranked manager for being sacked in the Premier League is Sean Dyche of Everton, with odds of 3/1. Everton has started the season with three consecutive losses, scoring only 2 goals and conceding 10.
Third on the list is Enzo Maresca, Chelsea’s manager, with odds of 7/1. All this suggests that there is a belief that Ten Hag will be sacked soon in this Premier League season, especially as Manchester United have lost two consecutive games and are currently ranked 14th in the league.
At the end of the match against Liverpool, the camera focused on Sir Jim Ratcliffe and his partners. The owners of Manchester United looked worried after witnessing the poor performance of the Red Devils, and Ten Hag undoubtedly faces the greatest responsibility.
Ten Hag may still keep his position for some time, but the pressure on the Dutch coach is increasing. If he cannot quickly return Manchester United to winning ways, it is entirely possible that Ten Hag could be sacked before Christmas this year.
