Manchester United players believe Erik ten Hag will be fired in the summer, according to reports.
United lost their 11th Premier League match of the season in the Manchester Derby on Sunday.
Erik ten Hag could be fired in the summer.
Sir Jim Ratcliffe is ready to decide on the Dutchman’s future.
They were also knocked out of the Champions League and Carabao Cup early on, with Ten Hag facing criticism at various periods over the season.
The Red Devils face a difficult assignment in qualifying for the Champions League this season, while they meet Liverpool in the FA Cup quarterfinals, their final chance for trophy this season.
While the results have been bad, there have been allegations that players are dissatisfied with the intensity of training under Ten Hag.
According to the Daily Mail, there is widespread confidence inside the squad that the Dutchman will be fired at the end of the season.
However, he apparently has support from the dressing room, and Ten Hag asserted he is “on the same page” with incoming investor Sir Jim Ratcliffe.
The two met and spoke at the beginning of the year, and Ten Hag has maintained tight touch with Ineos CEO Sir Dave Brailsford, Ratcliffe’s right-hand man.
Ten Hag revealed: “We talk a lot. I’ve had several chats with him and Dave Brailsford about this club, this team, and the structures.
“We are very aligned, it totally fits with the ambitions I have, ambitions I had when I came in.”

Ineos is expected to reassess Ten Hag’s situation in the summer, with new chief executive Omar Berrada and incoming sporting director Dan Ashworth likely to have an impact on his future.
Gary Neville believes the duo will make a choice soon, if they haven’t already.
hHe stated: “If you look at the person [Berrada] who has come in from City as CEO, and they’re obviously wanting to get Dan Ashworth in from Newcastle, they’re going to make a decision [on Ten Hag’s future], I believe, fairly soon, if not already.
“I assume Jim Ratcliffe and Dave Brailsford have already decided whether to keep Erik ten Hag as management next season. I can’t believe they’re going to wait until May to make that decision and then shortchange themselves.
“Manchester United has been found out in the last ten years in recruitment on and off the pitch for making poor decisions, late decisions, and failing to stay ahead of the game. I don’t think they will do it.
“For me, I believe they have already reached a conclusion. They may stick to that option regardless of whether it is Champions League or not.”
