Edwin van der Sar believes Erik ten Hag’s dismissal as Manchester United manager was inevitable following INEOS’s takeover of the club. After a disappointing start to the season, where United found themselves in 14th place, the executive branch decided to part ways with Ten Hag, despite a brief surge of positivity after winning the FA Cup. Van der Sar emphasized that the club’s ongoing chaos stems from a lack of coherent policy within the hierarchy, suggesting that new ownership often seeks their own managerial appointments, making Ten Hag’s exit almost predetermined.
