Ten Hag says relegation a real possibility for Man Utd
Erik ten Hag said the club’s nine-match winless run and 17th-place standing make a drop from the Premier League a real possibility.
- On Saturday, Manchester United lost 2-0 to Chelsea, extending their winless streak to nine matches in all competitions. The defeat leaves manager Michael Carrick's side in 17th place, hovering above the relegation zone on goal difference.
- Speculation regarding Carrick's future intensifies as the club endures its longest winless run since 1984, despite the board previously retaining him following heavy 3-0 and 4-1 losses to Bournemouth and Como. This marks their worst streak in over four decades.
- Erik ten Hag, former Manchester United manager, told ESPN that relegation is "certainly possible" given the Premier League's strength. Ten Hag noted the team previously struggled for "six years without winning a trophy" before his 2024 departure.
- Pundits including Redknapp on Sky Sports identified candidates to replace Carrick, naming Aston Villa head coach Unai Emery and Julian Nagelsmann as potential successors to "turn things around." Emery currently "does what he likes" at Villa Park, raising questions about his availability.
- The Red Devils return to action Tuesday, hosting Roma in the Champions League before facing Aston Villa in the Premier League on Sunday. Both fixtures offer Carrick's side a chance to end their nine-match winless streak.
