Manchester United boss Erik ten Hag has brutally been told that Pep Guardiola would be doing a better job at Old Trafford. Arsenal icon Ian Wright has ominously concluded that no Red Devils stars are improving under Ten Hag – something he says would not happen if Manchester City head coach Guardiola was in charge.<\/p>\n

Ten Hag has overseen a dismal start to the season. United have been unable to arrest their spiralling form, although last Saturday\u2019s narrow 1-0 victory over Luton offered some respite for the Dutchman.<\/p>\n

The Old Trafford outfit have lost nine matches already this term, a club-record for this stage of the season. There have been six defeats in the Premier League and a further three in the Champions League, putting their hopes of qualifying for the European knockouts in serious jeopardy.<\/p>\n

The former Ajax boss insists that his players are backing his methods. But fans are split over whether he should be replaced before United\u2019s form becomes worse.<\/p>\n

And in a devastating blow to Ten Hag, ex-striker Wright has said that arch-rival Guardiola would be getting more out of the United squad than the 53-year-old has achieved.<\/p>\n

Asked if Guardiola would be performing well at United, Wright told the Stick To Football podcast: \u201cYes. Players get better under Pep and that\u2019s what you\u2019re not seeing at United at the minute. Players get better under [Guardiola] and you\u2019d assume that he\u2019d do the same at United.\u201d<\/p>\n

United continue to back Ten Hag despite the club\u2019s poor form. It remains to be seen if Sir Jim Ratcliffe, whose bid for a quarter of the club will be ratified soon, will retain the head coach.<\/p>\n

Ten Hag oversaw an improved performance in the victory over Luton last weekend. However, he expressed concern over the cautious approach of his players.<\/p>\n
