Manchester United chiefs would be right to make a “big decision” on the future of Erik ten Hag if results do not pick up. That is the view of Arsenal legend Ray Parlour, who has warned it could be a slippery slope for the Red Devils boss if he has lost the dressing room.
United have lost six of their 10 matches in all competitions so far this season. The latest defeat was a surprise result at home to Galatasaray in the Champions League on Tuesday.
Ten Hag won the Carabao Cup in his first season in charge, ending United’s six-year wait for a trophy, as well as earning a spot back in Europe’s elite club competition. However, United are currently floundering in 10th place ahead of Saturday’s visit of Brentford.
The Bees will be confident, with three of United’s losses this term coming at Old Trafford. Parlour believes the players must look themselves in the mirror and consider whether they could be doing more.
He told talkSPORT: “Well you’ve got to look at players as well, are they performing? You can’t always look at managers.
