A humiliating 3-0 defeat to Bournemouth was a huge blow to Man Utd's ambitions, coming just days after three of their players were named Premier League Player of the Month.

Ten Hag’s faith in the coach had just been rekindled and suddenly it was extinguished. A dark sky appeared before this coach’s eyes. However, that was not the only disaster for the club this week. In just a few days, the Red Devils will face even greater pain. They are very likely to be eliminated from the Champions League when they face Bayern Munich.
In recent times, the British press has continuously talked about the possibility of Coach Ten Hag having to leave Old Trafford. However, the Man Utd Board of Directors still shows hesitation. The Athletic newspaper pointed out two reasons why the Red Devils' leadership cannot fire Coach Ten Hag at this time.
Firstly, Man Utd's American owners do not want any changes at this time when the process of selling 25% of the club's shares to billionaire Sir Jim Ratcliffe (worth 1.25 billion pounds) is in the process of completion.
If billionaire Sir Jim Ratcliffe completes this deal, there will be changes in the Man Utd Board of Directors. Mr. Richard Arnold may have to leave the position of CEO of Man Utd. Similarly, the position of Technical Director may also change when John Murtough leaves.
Therefore, Man Utd's Board of Directors wants to complete the new-era apparatus before making any decisions.

In addition, if they want to fire coach Ten Hag at this time, Man Utd will have to pay 15 million pounds in contract compensation. This is the highest compensation for a fired coach in Man Utd's history. The appointment of a new coach is unlikely to produce immediate results. Therefore, the Red Devils are not in a hurry to spend a large amount of money to fire the Dutch coach.
Man Utd will have a very difficult week. After the match against Bayern Munich in the Champions League at 03:00 on December 13, they will travel to Liverpool's Anfield at 23:30 on December 17.
