Benni McCarthy says there's only one manager who would improve Man Utd if they sacked Erik ten Hag
Today at 04:15 AM
Erik ten Hag is under a serious amount of pressure at Manchester United at the moment.
Ten Hag's future is in doubt, and United are reportedly scouting out potential replacements.
Gareth Southgate has been linked with Manchester United as of late, while Thomas Tuchel is apparently keen on a return to the Premier League.
Benni McCarthy knows a thing or two about Ten Hag's methods having worked under the Dutchman as a coach at Old Trafford.
Speaking to SuperSport, McCarthy has discussed the idea of replacing Ten Hag, and he can only think of one coach who would improve United right now.
Benni McCarthy says only Pep Guardiola would improve Manchester United
McCarthy discussed the idea of Ten Hag leaving Old Trafford.
The pundit questioned which other manager would do a better job, claiming that unless Pep Guardiola swaps the Etihad for Old Trafford there aren't many out there.
Ultimately, McCarthy backed Ten Hag to stay in his current role.
"People are always looking for answers like replacing the coach, but who is better than what they have? Unless Pep decides to change from Man City to go to United then maybe you will have a change in fortunes, but other than that, mate, I can't see if there's better than Ten Hag, man," McCarthy said.
Is Erik ten Hag going to be sacked?
Erik ten Hag is under massive pressure, but is he about to lose his job?
It's currently the international break, and, historically, that is the time that clubs make managerial changes as they have time to find replacements.
However, Ten Hag has survived the first week of the international break, so perhaps he will be safe.
Indeed, the Dutchman is apparently going to be safe for a little while longer.
The United boardroom are apparently split on Ten Hag's future, and in a meeting this week, they didn't ultimately decide it was time for the manager to go.
However, with United sitting 14th in the Premier League table, things have to change quickly if Ten Hag wants to keep his job.
Regardless of whether it's the manager or the players that are the problem, it's clear that something needs to change at Manchester United.
