Ten Hag was fired as a result of Manchester United’s 2-1 loss to West Ham United, which was too much for the Manchester United board to handle, thanks in part to a goal from a former Leeds United star in the form of current West Ham United forward Crysencio Summerville.
It is a moment of suffering that Leeds supporters will particularly enjoy, especially since Gary Neville, a man whom Leeds supporters detest, is expressing his displeasure.
“I anticipated it,” Neville stated on Sky Sports. “I felt I had seen this before and knew how it ended when I looked at Tottenham. Ten Hag had a rough day; everyone assumed it would be the day we started, but things have become worse. It was unacceptable to miss opportunities yesterday; the choice was poor.
Nobody will be surprised, in my opinion, that Ten Hag was fired by the owners due to the difficulties with his performances. Some will argue that they have been validated; supporters wanted to keep Ten Hag around and give him a chance to thrive in a different setting.
“To achieve a strong performance and some stability, it has been shocking to see how awful the new arrivals have been. The fourteenth? It’s not acceptable. The expenditure that took place. I had hoped that things would turn out differently and that the trust in him would be rewarded, but that isn’t the case.
However, this might pave the way for a former Leeds United coach to move to Old Trafford.
In a move that would see a former Leeds United coach transfer to their most infamous opponents, Spain and Barcelona icon Xavi is reportedly one of the favourites to accept the job at Old Trafford, according to claims from the Daily Mirror.
The individual in question is Ivan Torres, a fitness coach who has known Xavi since they were young. He worked with Xavi at Barcelona and for Leeds in the 2017–18 season.
He joins Raphinha as the most recent former Leeds and Barcelona player to be linked to a move to Old Trafford.
