Former Manchester United boss Erik ten Hag said in comments to ESPN that relegation is “certainly possible” for Manchester United. Flashscore said Michael Carrick's Manchester United side are hovering just above the bottom three.
Ten Hag on the relegation threat
Ten Hag said: “In the Premier League it's certainly possible, because all the teams are simply strong.”
He also said: “They're all strong squads, all good managers. And if you end up on the wrong side once and you really get into that vicious circle - yes, then it can become very, very difficult.”
Ten Hag added: “We also had a difficult spell... But the Premier League is so strong and when you hit a difficult spell, yes, then you really have a problem.”
His view of his own spell
Ten Hag said: “I think we performed pretty well with United.”
He also said: “I think we had performed more than pretty well. We couldn't have done it better.”
What Ten Hag listed from that period
Ten Hag said: “Before we arrived, six years without winning a trophy. Look where they are now. We were at Wembley six times, we played two FA Cup finals.”
He also said: “We won two trophies, we finished third. And yes, we simply performed pretty well. And at times we also played pretty good football.”
Flashscore's added context
Flashscore said Manchester United have not been relegated from the English top flight since 1974.
