Man Utd fans say ‘Ten Hag’s days are numbered’ as they spot iconic Premier League manager with Sir Jim Ratcliffe
MANCHESTER UNITED fans are convinced Sam Allardyce will be their next manager after he was spotted at Old Trafford with Sir Jim Ratcliffe.
United denied Liverpool the chance to move to the top spot in the Premier League after drawing 2-2 with the Reds.
The former England manager Allardyce has been unemployed since leaving Leeds last summer.
And the 69-year-old was spotted at halftime with small stake owner Ratcliffe and Director of Sport at Ineos Dave Brailsford at the game today.
And fans are convinced this means Ten Hag’s days at the club are limited.
As one said: “Sam Allardyce at OT. Obviously ETH days are numbered.”
While another added: “Jim Ratcliffe in conversation with Sam Allardyce there. Just a chat, of course, but wouldn’t it be hilarious if he appointed him as United manager? The only appointment funnier than Gareth Southgate.”
A third then put: “Is Sam Allardyce gonna be our new manager?”
A fourth fan said: “Jim Ratcliffe talking with Big Sam Allardyce at half time it’s over for Ten Hag.”
Allardyce has had a lengthy managerial career leading 12 different teams.

Including four years at West Ham where he led the Hammers to Premier League promotion in 2012.
Since then the Englishman has been in charge at Sunderland, the England national team, Crystal Palace, Everton, West Brom and Leeds.
But in June last year, Allardyce decided to part ways with the Championship side after they were relegated to the second tier.
Now having been without a job for 10 months United fans are speculating the unemployed boss will replace Ten Hag.
Erik ten Hag has endured a difficult season at United after they crashed out of the Champions League in the group stages.
And it is unlikely the Red Devils will secure a top-four finish in the Premier League meaning they will not be able to redeem themselves in the European tournament next term.
But the Dutchman did manage to kick Liverpool out of the FA Cup after beating Jurgen Klopp‘s side 4-3 in the quarter-finals last month.
Ten Hag will need to prove to Ratcliffe in the final games of the season that he is the right man to lead to Red Devils squad.
