BREAKING NEWS: Reported live from Fabrizio Romano, United legend calls for Erik ten hag sack if the team loses to Aston Villa on Sunday. According to reports Roy Keane has called for his sack if the team loses. He said, “Ten Hag needs to SHUT UP and get to work! This team is dying a slow death, and all he can brag about is two trophies? It’s painful watching this team collapse, and I feel for the United supporters—they don’t deserve this mess. If he loses against Aston Villa, he HAS to go. Bring back Ole Gunnar! At least Ole took United to four finals and dominated big games in Europe. Sure, he lost the finals, but at least we played the original United football! That’s what we need back.
Reported live from Fabrizio Romano, Manchester United legend Roy Keane has publicly called for Erik ten Hag’s dismissal if the Red Devils fail to secure a victory against Aston Villa this Sunday. With United’s inconsistent performances causing unrest among fans and pundits alike, Keane has taken his criticism to the next level, urging the club to sack the Dutch manager if the upcoming fixture at Old Trafford ends in defeat.
Keane, known for his no-nonsense approach both on and off the pitch, did not mince his words when addressing Ten Hag’s tenure at Manchester United. “Ten Hag needs to SHUT UP and get to work!” Keane reportedly said, visibly frustrated with the team’s current form. “This team is dying a slow death, and all he can brag about is two trophies?” The two trophies in question are last season’s Carabao Cup and FA Cup finals, which Ten Hag has often cited as evidence of progress under his management. However, Keane is not convinced.
“It’s painful watching this team collapse,” Keane continued, alluding to United’s shaky form in both domestic and European competitions this season. The Red Devils have struggled to maintain consistency, with defensive issues and lack of cohesion becoming key talking points. Keane, who captained United during one of their most successful eras, expressed his deep concern for the current state of affairs at Old Trafford.
“I feel for the United supporters—they don’t deserve this mess,” Keane said, sympathizing with the growing frustration among the club’s loyal fanbase. With United’s results falling far below expectations, many supporters have voiced their dissatisfaction with Ten Hag’s leadership and tactics. According to Keane, this could all come to a head on Sunday if the Red Devils fail to beat Aston Villa.
Keane delivered a blunt ultimatum: “If he loses against Aston Villa, he HAS to go.” Keane’s stance is clear—United’s current trajectory is unacceptable, and Ten Hag’s position as manager should be reconsidered if results do not improve immediately.
The former United captain didn’t stop there. He went on to suggest a controversial replacement for Ten Hag: “Bring back Ole Gunnar!” Keane’s support for Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, the former United manager, surprised many. “At least Ole took United to four finals and dominated big games in Europe,” Keane argued, pointing out that Solskjaer’s tenure saw the team reach significant stages in major competitions, even if they failed to secure trophies.
Keane acknowledged that Solskjaer’s reign was not without its flaws but maintained that the football played under his leadership was more in line with United’s attacking traditions. “Sure, he lost the finals, but at least we played the original United football! That’s what we need back,” Keane concluded, advocating for a return to the club’s roots.
With United’s clash against Aston Villa just days away, the pressure on Erik ten Hag has never been higher. Keane’s comments have added fuel to an already intense situation, as fans and pundits alike wait to see how the Dutchman responds to this ultimatum.
Should United lose to Aston Villa, the fallout could be seismic, potentially marking the end of Ten Hag’s time at Old Trafford. For now, all eyes are on Sunday’s match—and the future of Manchester United’s managerial position hangs in the balance.
