Manchester United chiefs will meet on Tuesday where a decision will be made over whether to sack manager Erik ten Hag.

That is according to The Guardian, who report that Sir Jim Ratcliffe will chair an executive summit in London on Tuesday.

Present at the meeting will be Ratcliffe, CEO Omar Berrada, sporting director Dan Ashworth, and technical director Jason Wilcox.

Together they will decide whether to stick with or sack Ten Hag.

The Guardian adds that Ruud van Nistelrooy is likely to be appointed as a caretaker replacement should a change be made.

Ten Hag is on the brink of the sack after a disastrous start to the 2024-25 season.

Man United currently find themselves languishing down in 14th position in the Premier League with a minus-three goal difference after seven games.

United have failed to win either of their Europa League games, drawing with Twente and Porto.

Ten Hag had been expected to be sacked this summer after a generally miserable 2023-24 campaign in which - despite winning the FA Cup - Man Utd finished eighth in the Premier League and were dumped out of Europe at the Champions League group stage.

United held an internal review on Ten Hag’s future and even spoke to a number of potential managerial replacements, but in a shock development decided that the Dutchman would be staying at Old Trafford.

Ten Hag to be sacked?

That decision appears to only be a short stay of execution as the bookmakers believe that Ten Hag will be the next Man Utd manager to be sacked.

A number of top names are waiting in the wings to replace Ten Hag, including former England manager Gareth Southgate, ex-Chelsea bosses Thomas Tuchel and Graham Potter.

Ruud van Nistelrooy is an internal choice after impressing the club since arriving as assistant manager.
