Is Erik ten Hag’s Time at Manchester United Running Out?

Is Erik ten Hag’s time at Manchester United running out? The Dutch coach could be sacked if the Red Devils don’t win against Brentford in the Premier League. Let’s preview this game in our best free soccer tips. Are you ready to go?

For another season Manchester United’s performance in the Premier League is far from impressive. The Red Devils are currently 14th in the standings with just 8 points won. Ten Hag’s boys had won just two of their matches so far. And most certainly that’s not enough.

Before the break United made their second draw for the season – 0-0 against Aston Villa at the Villa Park. Given the fact that Villa were favorites to take the win, maybe this result was not as bad at all. But United needs to win – that’s the only way Erik ten Hag can save his job.

What kind of rotations Ten Hag will make against Brentford on Saturday? Joshua Zirkzee could return in the line-up while Lisandro Martinez and Matthijs de Ligt should take their place in defense. Both of them started from the bench against Aston Villa. Casemiro could return in the starting eleven, too, while Amad Diallo and Manuel Ugarte remain options for the Dutch manager, too.

Manchester United are without a win since September 17 when they won against Barnsley in the Carabao Cup. This makes five consecutive matches in all competitions. In these five matches the Red Devils made four draws and suffered one defeat.

One of Manchester United’s biggest problems is the lack of goals. So far the team has scored just five goals in seven matches played. That’s certainly not what the fans expected.

Brentford are approaching this trip to Manchester from 11th place in the standings. The Bees have 10 points won and a record of 3 wins, 1 draw and 3 losses.

Before the break Thomas Frank’s boys claimed their third win for the season. Brentford participated in one of the most dramatic games since the beginning of the campaign – 5-3 against Wolves at the Gtech Community Stadium. Nathan Collins, Brian Mbeumo, Christian Nørgaard, Ethan Pinnock and Fabio Carvalho put the ball in the net for the hosts.

The manager Thomas Frank was happy with the win against Wolves, but he remained worried for his team’s performance in defense. After all, Brentford conceded three goals at home, and this was not good. The Bees will need to do much better defensively against Man United.

Fabio Carvalho can return in Brentford’s line-up for the next match. The talented Portuguese midfielder scored against Wolves and proves his quality once again.

That’s the best free soccer tips for the Premier League clash between Manchester United and Brentford at the Old Trafford. Can United record their first win since a month? Surely the Red Devils need this, but sometimes it’s not as easy as said. This could be Erik ten Hag’s last match as United manager. The fans are getting impatient now, and another negative result could be decisive in this regard.
