Writing for Football365, Matt Stead has shared his Premier League predictions for the new year — one of which involved Manchester United and Erik ten Hag.
Stead said: "With Sir Jim Ratcliffe installing actual specialists in genuine roles necessary for any club to function properly, Ten Hag will cling to his job in trying to change the culture at Old Trafford as proof of his worth.
With so much upheaval already unavoidably necessary, the manager sacking solution can be kept in the back pocket for future use.
"The injury situation provides enough mitigation with Ten Hag already threatening to reach Ole Gunnar Solskjaer levels of corner-turning followed immediately by dead-ends. It kept the Norwegian in a job far longer than it should have too."
Ten Hag's job is believed to be safe but things could be about to change now that Sir Jim Ratcliffe has assumed control of football operations at Man United.
The British billionaire is said to be a big fan of ex-Brighton manager Graham Potter who remains a free agent following his sacking from Chelsea last season.
