Manchester United coach Erik Ten Hag is in fear of facing Jim Ratcliffe’s axe after what has been a not-so-good season for the club under his leadership.

It is very clear that the Dutchman will have a difficult time with United management if the Red Devils do not secure a spot in the Champions League competition next season.

The Red Devils are in danger of missing out on a top-four finish after a difficult run of form this term.

United are currently placed sixth in the Premier League standings with 48 points, nine points off fourth-placed Aston Villa.

But we want to win every game and that is the standard we have among each other and we will keep going and keep being in belief and having that standard," he said via The Peoples Person.
