Erik ten Hag escaped the sacking two weeks ago after Manchester United were held to a goalless draw by Aston Villa at Villa Park, but they face a tough task at home to Brentford on Saturday.
Manchester United are still in need of a major turning point. As they sit 14th in the table on eight points from seven games and have a big game at Old Trafford as they host 11th-placed Brentford in the Premier League on Saturday, and Paul Merson has given his insight into the game.
“Brentford may score in the first minute again this weekend and then you never know what will happen with Erik ten Hag and Manchester United. Thomas Frank’s side are dynamic and I think they will score at Old Trafford. But the problem is that once they are in the lead they tend not to hold on to it.”
“Manchester United will not be able to win this สมัคร ufabet game, so I would choose a draw and I expect Brentford to cause them problems throughout the game. As for Ten Hag’s future. I don’t think he has anything to worry about now. Because Thomas Tuchel has taken over the England job, so there is no top manager left.”
“If United lose and he gets sacked, it’s not the right way to run the club. The board have decided to support him during the international break and if he gets sacked I’d be shocked. A team like Manchester United shouldn’t be worried about Brentford. They should be looking at other top teams. But the reality is that it’s not like that at the moment.”
Merson predicts Man Utd 2-2 Brentford
