Rio Ferdinand is unsure whether Erik ten Hag will keep his job as Manchester United manager at the end of the season if there is no drastic improvement at the club.
United have been largely disappointed during Ten Hag’s second season in charge, currently sitting sixth in the Premier League table, eight points behind fourth-placed Aston Villa, and having been knocked out of the Champions League.
The Dutchman’s future is under intense scrutiny following the arrival of Sir Jim Ratcliffe and his INEOS team, who have been given sporting control at Old Trafford.
Ten Hag recently admitted his belief that Ratcliffe is “absolutely” confident in his abilities to guide United back to success, but Ferdinand is not so confident.
The United legend expressed concern over Ten Hag’s side’s lack of playing style and revealed a change could be made to the bench at the end of the season.

‘Given the structure behind it now it could be (a different story). Many moving parts have to fit into place for it to stay.
“But if they don’t finish the season well and they’re losing games and it seems like the locker room is not a harmonious place… and one thing I would say is that I don’t think Jim Ratcliffe and his team are shy about making big decisions.
Manchester United have struggled during Ten Hag’s second season in charge of the club.
Ten Hag’s current contract with Man United runs until the summer of 2025.
‘It wouldn’t be a big deal for them if they had to intervene. They wouldn’t be thinking, ‘Oh, I have to work with media and PR.’
‘No no. “What’s right for Manchester United now, they will do,” he added.
