Erik Ten Hag Facing Manchester United Sack If The Club Is Bought By Qatari Group – Chris Woerts

Erik ten Hag could be sacked by Manchester United if the club is bought by Qatari group in the coming months according to sports marketer Chris Woerts.

Woerts believes that any Qatari group will want to make wholesale changes to the club should they arrive.

United are currently up for sale with the current owners, the Glazer family, open to relinquishing control of the club or welcoming fresh investment.

There are a number of interested parties and reports in England have stated that Qatar’s sovereign investment fund could be one of them.

It’s been made clear that they are exploring the possibility of buying a minority stake in a Premier League club in the coming months, as opposed to a full takeover.

That same report indicated that the emir of Qatar is believed to be a Manchester United fan and speculation about interest saw shares in the club jump 14% on the New York stock exchange.

Those rumors are unlikely to abate in the coming months and Woerts believes that were they to invest, it could see Ten Hag move on.

“There is a big battle going on between the Qatari side and Jim Ratcliffe,” he told Today Inside, relayed by Soccer News.

“If the Qatari take over, you will get the same situation as with Manchester City at the time. There it is a kind of FC Barcelona too.

“They put their own management, their own coach and their own commercial director. Then there really will be their own team.

“He is only six months in. 100% sure the Qatari’s will put their own people there.
