Manchester United’s defeat to Copenhagen on Wednesday shouldn’t cost Erik ten Hag his job, says Paul Scholes, as the club “can’t afford” to fire him.
Despite boasting a commanding two-goal lead for much of the first half, United slipped to an astounding 4-3 loss to fall to the bottom of Champions League Group A. It is a defeat which has condemned the Red Devils to their worst start to a season in 50 years and has ramped up the pressure on Ten Hag.
But former midfielder Scholes was quick to point out that the club are unable to let go of the Dutchman, telling TNT Sports: “I still don’t feel like there’s that much pressure on Erik ten Hag. He had a good year and bought some time. He’s had bad injuries but nine defeats in 17 is not good enough. I know United have sacked before, but I don’t think they can afford to keep doing that, I think we’ve got to let this fella go with it.”
