Erik ten Hag and Mauricio Pochettino are facing immense pressure at their respective teams. Manchester United currently occupies the sixth position in the Premier League, trailing behind the Champions League qualification spots by a significant margin of 11 points.
Chelsea, on the other hand, are trailing United by an additional eight points and are currently in 11th place. There has been significant discussion on the jobs of both managers, and the talk of their being fired is increasing with each negative outcome.
United appeared to have made significant progress with four consecutive victories against Wolves, West Ham, Aston Villa, and Luton, which allowed them to reestablish their position as contenders for the Champions League. However, consecutive losses to Fulham and the setback in the Manchester derby against City last weekend have led to an increase in demands for ten Hag to be dismissed.
Pochettino’s attempts to ignite Chelsea’s performance throughout the season have been unsuccessful, leading to increased demands for his dismissal following the disappointing loss to Liverpool’s young team in the Carabao Cup final in late February. It could be a competition between the two individuals to determine who can endure for a longer period of time.
Despite being ranked five places lower than United, TalkSport analyst Ally McCoist believes that ten Hag is the one facing more danger. During an interview with TalkSport Bet, he expressed his belief that Erik ten Hag has greater pressure at Manchester United compared to Mauricio Pochettino at Chelsea. He also stated that ten Hag is at a higher risk of losing his job before the season concludes.
“There is greater pressure on ten Hag at United.” He is facing additional challenges with his team – the difficulties he has encountered with players such as Antony, Marcus Rashford, Jadon Sancho, and the criticism that Bruno Fernandes is not a suitable captain. Due to the fitness problems of Luke Shaw and Lisandro Martinez, Manchester United’s defensive performance has been noticeably affected.
