Former Sky Sports host Richard Keys has laid out his plan for rebuilding Manchester United, which starts with sacking Erik ten Hag. The Red Devils were outworked in their 1-0 defeat away to Newcastle on Saturday evening and the Dutchman’s position remains under pressure at Old Trafford.<\/p>\n
United sit five points off Aston Villa in fourth place and are also bottom of their Champions League group, prompting Keys to call for Ten Hag to lose his job. Only Crystal Palace and the four bottom Premier League teams have scored fewer goals than United this season in the league and Keys believes it’s time for the former Ajax head coach to depart, replacing him with Xabi Alonso.<\/p>\n
Alonso starred for Liverpool between 2004 and 2009 before taking on the Bayer Leverkusen job after retirement, guiding them to top spot in the Bundesliga by playing some exhilarating football. However, Keys has suggested that he should be given a five-year guarantee at United, similar to the security Sir Alex Ferguson was previously afforded.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat is the answer to what has happened at Manchester United?\u201d Keys asked on beIN SPORTS. \u201cI thought about that a lot and here is my theory. I would thank the current coach for his time. If I couldn\u2019t go out and get my top target immediately I would then be treading water until I can.<\/p>\n

They are just not going to sign for Manchester United anymore. They can\u2019t go out and do what they once did and sign everybody else\u2019s best player.<\/p>\n \u201cIn my view, Manchester United should go now to Leverkusen and they should say to Xabi Alonso: \u2018We want you to come to Old Trafford. We will give you Saudi League money and we will guarantee you five years\u2019. Which is what Fergie had when he first went to Manchester United.<\/p>\n\n
