Well, Erik ten Hag looks as though he will hang onto his job for a while longer, no doubt to the delight of practically anyone who doesn’t support Manchester United.
Despite leading Liverpool’s rivals to their worst-ever start in the Premier League – and breaking his own record in the process – the United hierarchy has reportedly seen fit to keep Ten Hag at the helm for a little while longer. Not content with making the wrong decision during the summer, Sir Jim Ratcliffe and co have decided to make the same call again.
Liverpool fans of course won’t mind – most of them have been watching on with glee as their rivals have got progressively worse under the Dutchman, even with another big summer of spending to back him up, while the Reds sit top of the tree.
If you look on social media though, you can find one or two Liverpool supporters demonstrating a degree of sympathy – perhaps the gap between the two sides has gotten so big that the fun of gloating has gone now for some. In any case, Jamie Carragher has joined the ranks by showing some compassion for Ten Hag.
