As Erik TEN HAG gets ready for a big week as manager of Manchester United, he took some time off to spend with his wife.
The Dutchman was seen taking a walk with his wife Bianca, even though he is still under a lot of pressure at Old Trafford.
Throughout their time together, they went for a walk in Cheshire and then stopped for lunch.
Right now, Ten Hag has a lot to do because his situation at United is uncertain.
The Red Devils have a HUGE week ahead of them, and their last chance to win a trophy is on Wednesday.
United will be going on the road to play Nottingham Forest in the fifth round of the FA Cup. Ten Hag is hoping to keep the cup dream alive after United lost in the Champions League and the Carabao Cup this season.
Even though Manchester United is 16 points behind league leaders Liverpool, they are still not in the running for the Premier League title.
They lost 2-1 to Fulham at home on Saturday, ending their 10-game win streak in 2024.
The sixth-placed Premier League team has a short trip to face fierce foes Manchester City next in the league, which will make things even tougher.
The game on Sunday could be very important for Ten Hag, who is 54 years old. Since Sir Jim Ratcliffe’s £1.03bn takeover, there have been a lot of questions about his long-term future.
Rumors are going around about possible substitutes for Ten Hag if things go badly with the British billionaire who is taking over football operations at the club.
The Theatre of Dreams has a bright future thanks to Ratcliffe and his big pockets, but Ten Hag might not be in charge in that future.
But the former Ajax manager has told those who are getting angry at his management to look at the bigger picture.
After United lost to Fulham, which was upsetting, he said, “After one loss, you have to look at the bigger picture, and it looks very good.”
We need to catch up in some areas. If we can cut down on accidents, we’ll be able to keep our balance better.
“Also, add to the team during the off-season. You can see that there are a lot of good players with a lot of potential. They will keep getting better.”
“We’re going in the right direction for sure; when we have the whole team together, we’re very good.”
