Manchester United is taking a measured approach to determining the future of their manager, Erik ten Hag, as the team faces challenges this season. Despite the club's ambition to climb higher in the Premier League standings, United currently sits in eighth place following a disappointing 4-0 loss to Crystal Palace on Monday.
With three crucial games remaining, the pressure is mounting on both the team and ten Hag. United's upcoming fixtures include encounters with top contenders Arsenal and Newcastle United, both of which are eager to secure their positions. Arsenal leads the Premier League in a tight title race with Manchester City, while Newcastle remains hopeful of qualifying for the UEFA Europa League. Both teams are highly motivated to give their all against United.
Additionally, Manchester United will host Brighton, a team with no immediate goals but still capable of posing a threat. Brighton's lack of pressure could make them unpredictable opponents, especially when playing at home without the burden of relegation worries.
As the season nears its end, Manchester United's management and fans are keenly watching to see if ten Hag can steer the team towards a stronger finish or if changes are on the horizon. The outcome of these final matches will be pivotal in shaping the club's direction moving forward.
