It has now been revealed that a final ultimatum was placed on Erik ten Hag this week, but the Manchester United boss overturned it thankfully.
Manchester United narrowly edged defeat against Brentford at the weekend. Although they looked like the worse side throughout the match, a masterclass from Scott McTominay from the bench granted the three points to the Red Devils, and those three points were MUCH needed.
In truth, United haven’t had the best start to the season. Too often, they have been overturned by teams. Luckily, though, heading into the international break the fortune was with Erik ten Hag.
Manchester United boss Erik ten Hag overturned his final ultimatum
According to a report from Express, Manchester United’s performance was being closely monitored at the weekend, with Erik ten Hag being at risk should they have lost.
In truth, a section of the Old Trafford faithful has been calling for the Dutch manager to be sacked given his poor start to the season. However, others trust the process and think that sticking by him through this tough period could reap the benefits more than a quick turnover.
Incase you forgot the greatest comeback of the season, this is the replay clip of Fergie time made by Scott McTominay for Manchester United vs Brentford at the theatre of dreams. What a weekend.

Certainly, Ten Hag is one of the best tacticians in the world. While he has been riddled with off-field issues this season, he’s still one of the best managers in the league and an asset to United. Therefore, the fact he has overturned his harsh ultimatum could prove incredible important to the club in the long-run.
Do you think Manchester United should keep or sack Erik ten Hag?
