Who will be the next manager sacked?

Former Premier League defender Jose Enrique has predicted that Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag could lose his job.

The embattled Dutch manager has experienced another dramatic week in charge of the Red Devils. Man United kickstarted their week with a 3-0 win at Everton before a chaotic 3-3 draw against Galatasaray in the UEFA Champions League.

The 20-time English champions are now at the bottom of their UEFA Champions League group, and their fate is out of their hands. Moreover, Ten Hag's team sit sixth in the Premier League table.

Speaking to Grosvenor Sport, Jose Enrique offered his say on Ten Hag. Enrique said, "When I look at all the other big-name managers in the league, ten Hag still stands out to me as the one who will be sacked first."

Enrique also wrote off Man United's hopes of finishing in the top four and qualifying for next season's UEFA Champions League. "I don’t think United will finish in the top four this season. They only got in the top four last year because other teams were poor."

Ten Hag's team visit Newcastle United this Saturday in a match with significant top-four implications.
