Man Utd should sack Erik ten Hag now as he continues to live in a parallel universe to everyone else, according to former Sky Sports presenter Richard Keys.
The Red Devils have made a poor start to the new season with Ten Hag s side losing two of their first three Premier League matches against Brighton and Liverpool.
New co-owners INEOS decided to put their faith in Ten Hag over the summer after leading the Red Devils to an eighth-placed finish in the Premier League.
Man Utd chief executive Omar Berrada insisted before that Ten Hag has his and the club’s full backing and remains the right man to take the club forward.
But beIN Sports presenter Keys reckons Man Utd need to sack him now as Ten Hag is reducing them to a laughing stock .
Keys wrote on : Here’s the good news for Utd fans. And I’m quoting the manager ‘You can see the xG we didn’t concede as many goals. I don’t think we are in the same pattern’. Nope. Nor me. I’ve no idea. But I guess it means something to somebody and it might just be encouraging if it does.
Anyway. The interview went on like this ‘we stick together. And on the second-half we show some resilience’. What? Your team was hopeless in both halves.
How many times have I said he lives in a parallel universe? It’s embarrassing. Remember this is Manchester Uniiiited.
I’d sack him now. No. I’d have sacked him in the summer. Maybe even before that. He’s not the right man to manage United. He’s reducing them to a laughing stock.
‘I’m not Harry Potter’, he went on to tell reporters. He’s right. I’d say more Graham Potter.
Everything I’ve argued came home to roost Sunday. United were awful. Simply awful on the back of ten Hag’s Benitez moment when he claimed he’d had more success than Jurgen Klopp in the last two years. Fact. Let’s throw a McEnroe in while we’re at it ‘you can not be serious’. What was he thinking when he tried to taunt Liverpool like that?

If there had been any Utd fans left inside Old Trafford on the final whistle surely they’d have let ten Hag know how they were feeling? All you could hear were Liverpool supporters, who‘d enjoyed watching their team ram those daft words back down ten Hag’s throat.
I wonder if the clever people running United have got the balls to sack him during this break? Why not?
I also wonder how many Utd fans are now wishing the Qatari bid had prevailed? They would’ve swept away the whole stagnant sorry mess that Utd have become invested millions on and off the field and put the club back in the big time.
I don’t want to spend any more time on this subject except to say our game needs a strong Utd. I don’t take pleasure now nor have I ever in their decline.
