John Obi-Mikel thinks he’s spotted sign Manchester United’s players want Erik ten Hag gone

Mikel John Obi has spotted a sign that Manchester United players want Erik ten Hag to get sacked as the manager.

The former Chelsea defensive midfielder has also made a point about Marcus Rashford.

So, what has Mikel John Obi said about Manchester United and Erik ten Hag? Let’s take a look.

Mikel John Obi gives verdict on Manchester United and Erik ten Hag

Well, former Chelsea star Mikel John Obi believes that the Manchester United players have stopped playing for their manager Erik ten Hag.

The Nigerian has noted the body language of the United players. He thinks that they are not putting in the effort for Ten Hag.

Obi has also criticised Marcus Rashford. The pundit has said that the England international forward is not working hard enough and is not trying.

United went down 3-0 to Bournemouth at Old Trafford in the Premier League this past weekend. Rashford came on as a substitute in the 79th minute.

Mikel John Obi said on his : “It was horrible what I saw at Manchester United football club. I don’t think so [they are playing for the manager].

“When you look at the body language of the players, it says we want to change, we want a change of manager, The body language of the players shows they want the manager out of the door.

“Nobody is running around putting in an effort for that manager, I don’t think so.

“Even when Rashford came in you could see, it was like he didn’t want to come on the pitch. It’s like the players have had enough, they are not playing for that manager, I can tell.”

Manchester United should not sack Erik ten Hag now

In my view, Manchester United simply cannot sack Erik ten Hag now. The United bosses cannot continue to sack managers and hire new ones every 18 or so months.

Yes, I understand that United, who will face Liverpool next weekend, are not playing well and are losing matches. Ten Hag’s football is not particularly great.

But, United are still in the running for the Premier League top four. And, if the Red Devils did sack Ten Hag now, who are they going to appoint?

United have to make sure that they have a new manager already lined up before they make the decision to get rid of Ten Hag.
