Jamie Redknapp tears into Man United as he claims key stars ‘aren’t playing’ for Erik ten Hag and warns displays like dismal Brentford showing ‘are what gets managers the sack’

Jamie Redknapp has stormed Manchester United after their abject draw at Brentford and warned that Erik ten Hag’s key players may not be performing for him.

Kristoffer Ajer’s spectacular stoppage-time equalizer forced the faltering Red Devils to settle for just one point despite Mason Mount’s 96th-minute goal.

Substitute Mount looked to have secured a crushing victory for United after finding the far corner with his first goal for the club since arriving from Chelsea, only for Ivan Toney to clip the ball for Ajer to crash into the net inside three minutes. later.

The result further damages United’s dwindling hopes of qualifying for the Champions League next season, raising questions over whether Ten Hag will be spared the sack.

And Redknapp has cast further doubt on the manager’s uncertain future by suggesting several of United’s biggest names could cost him his job.

“I have seen Manchester United with Erik ten Hag. “I don’t know what his way of playing is,” Redknapp said during Sky Sport’s post-match coverage.

‘I don’t know if they play from behind. They tried at times and passed the ball to the goalkeeper and he threw it onto the field. Do they do that for effect?

“I know they haven’t necessarily had all the back four they would like and if you have (Lisandro) Martínez and (Raphael) Varane, it helps you build.”

“But I don’t know what Man United’s way of playing is. Brentford, they had so many opportunities today that they were just better in every department.

And there is a lot of talk about the coach. Will it still be here next year?

“I think the way the players are playing now and that type of performance, they are going to decide because they are the type of performances that get the coach fired, because there was a lack of effort.”

“And if they really like this coach, if they want to play for him, they will.” I saw so many players just walking around, strolling around and not looking like they cared. And they play for one of the biggest clubs in the world.

‘And that to me should never really happen. There are too many.

Redknapp also believes United’s poor performance made Brentford “look like Real Madrid” and once again highlighted the lack of desire in Ten Hag’s ranks.

“They gave up so much possession,” he added. ‘There was a lack of energy with the ball, without the ball. They just made Brentford look like Real Madrid.

‘That’s what I felt I was seeing. That shouldn’t have been the case. The way Manchester United was was so out of character. The lack of desire to go and win individual battles. It was too easy for them. “It was almost as if Man United had nine men.”
