London, UK – Manchester United’s top decision-makers are set to convene after Sunday’s Premier League game at Aston Villa to discuss the ongoing scrutiny surrounding manager Erik ten Hag. The club’s executive committee, including key figures like Sir Jim Ratcliffe, Sir Dave Brailsford, chief executive Omar Berrada, sporting director Dan Ashworth, and technical director Jason Wilcox, will gather for a crucial meeting in London on Tuesday. co-chairman Joel Glazer is also flying in from the United States to attend the meeting.
The performance of the first team may be a topic on the agenda for Tuesday’s meeting, although it has not been confirmed. Ratcliffe, Glazer, and Brailsford form a three-person committee responsible for deciding Ten Hag’s future based on recommendations from the club’s executives and ground staff. With United currently sitting at 12th in the Premier League, Ten Hag’s leadership is under increasing pressure to deliver results.
Despite initial doubts about Ten Hag’s position last season, United opted to stand by him and extend his contract after winning the FA Cup final.
