Manchester United’s 2024-2025 Premier League campaign has been off to a rocky start, and manager Erik ten Hag finds himself under increasing scrutiny. Despite the recent extension of his contract, the Dutch tactician’s position is being tested early in the season. With the team struggling to find form, the upcoming match against Southampton is seen as a pivotal moment for Ten Hag and his squad.
The season began poorly for Manchester United, with the team suffering two defeats in their first three games. This disappointing run left them languishing in 14th position on the Premier League table. Despite the rocky start, newly-appointed CEO Omar Berrada has publicly backed Ten Hag, demonstrating a commitment to providing stability and support during this challenging period.
As the team prepares for their next fixture against Southampton, Ten Hag is acutely aware of the pressure on him. Reflecting on the situation, he stated, “In football, you have to win, you have to deliver, that’s clear. It’s good that the new leadership acknowledges this and says this. We are working together to be more successful and we have higher targets than we’ve already achieved.”
Manchester United has submitted their squad list for the 2024-2025 Premier League season, highlighting both new signings and existing talent.
