Ten Hag stunned after Man Utd battered as Lineker asks ‘anyone ever won Manager of Month & been sacked in same weekend?’
GARY LINEKER left fans wondering if Erik Ten Hag will make a shocking piece of history after Bournemouth humiliated Manchester United 3-0.
Lineker asked, “Has anyone ever won manager of the month and lost their job in the same weekend?” after the Cherries’ first ever Old Trafford win.
Harry Maguire, who won the player gong for November, was in a United side booed off – just three days after beating Chelsea 2-1.
And although the Red Devils remain sixth in the Premier League. Ten Hag admits he’s staggered by their alarming rollercoaster of standards.
The Dutchman said: “I have to take responsibility. We are really inconsistent.
“I understand fans are disappointed, frustrated. We all are but we should do better and we have show it every game, not to have so big levels from one game to another.”
Betfair slashed Ten Hag’s odds were for receiving the axe by Christmas Day to 5/2.
And many supporters claim ex-England striker Lineker was spot on by asking if it will be a rapid gong-then-gone for the former Ajax chief
One fan posted: “Ten Hag will definitely set that record.”
Another suggested: “Must be sacked tonight. Unacceptable at every level.”
And a third responded to Lineker: “Actually that is a good question.”

Many observers appear to reckon Ten Hag will be out soon – unless United’s fortunes are on the up by the time the Xmas decorations come down.
One wrote: “Not long now” and another argued: “
It could happen before the end of the year.”
Teh Hag’s tactics, as well as squad morale, were also doubted.
One observer insisted: “It is so clear that, structurally, in and out of possession, #mufc is one of the worst setup teams in the league.”
