Man United players 'delaying decisions due to Erik ten Hag uncertainty'
A handful of Manchester United players have reportedly put decisions about their futures on hold due to uncertainty over Erik ten Hag's position at Old Trafford.
The former Ajax boss still has just over a year to run on the three-season agreement he signed upon his arrival in 2022, but he has received no public backing from Sir Jim Ratcliffe.
After steering the Red Devils to EFL Cup glory and a top-three Premier League finish last season, the Dutchman has seen his side regress in 2023-24, where they finished bottom of their Champions League group.
Man United's chances of returning to the top continental tournament for 2024-25 are increasingly slim, as they lie seventh in the Premier League table with a 10-point gap to Tottenham Hotspur in fifth and a 13-point deficit to make up to Aston Villa in fourth.
Ten Hag could still make it back-to-back trophy wins in his two seasons in charge, as Man United prepare to face Coventry City in this weekend's FA Cup semi-final before a potential final with either Chelsea or holders Manchester City.
Man United players 'convinced' about Ten Hag sackThe Dutchman recently affirmed that he harboured no «doubts» about his future at the club, and there are not believed to be any immediate plans to give him the boot ahead of next season.
However, the Manchester Evening News claims that several Red Devils players are convinced that Ten Hag will not be in charge next season, and they are delaying decisions about their next career move as a result.
