Several Manchester United players are postponing their decisions about their future with the club due to doubts regarding Erik ten Hag’s continuation as manager next season.
A group of players from United are of the belief that Ten Hag is unlikely to stay on as manager after this season, especially with the team currently positioned seventh in the Premier League standings.
With the summer approaching, seven first-team players’ contracts are set to expire, and the future of other team members remains uncertain amidst the changes following Sir Jim Ratcliffe’s investment.
Manchester United has secured only one victory in their last seven league matches, and now find themselves 13 points behind the fourth-placed Aston Villa, making it a challenging gap to bridge.
The situation is so dire that they are trailing by four points compared to their tally at the same point during the 2013-14 season under David Moyes, which was their poorest performance in the Premier League era.
The new co-owner Ratcliffe has not publicly committed to keeping Ten Hag for the next season, and the Ineos Group is reportedly considering alternative managerial options
