Jamie Carragher aims dig at Erik ten Hag after making bold prediction about Man Utd manager's future

Jamie Carragher aimed a brutal dig at Erik ten Hag when he revealed his 'hot take' for the 2024/25 season.

Manchester United finished in eighth place in the Premier League table last season as Ten Hag salvaged the 2023/24 campaign with FA Cup triumph over Manchester City.

Ten Hag has since signed a new deal at Old Trafford that keeps him at the club until 2026.

But Carragher isn't convinced the Dutchman will see the new year despite penning a new contract.

Speaking on the Fan Debate for The Overlap - brought to you by Sky Bet, the Liverpool legend, who was joined by Man United icon Paul Scholes, asked fans in attendance for their 'hot take' for the upcoming season.

And Carragher said: "What's mine... Ten Hag gone by November... international break."

Red Devils fan Adam McKola, who predicted Marcus Rashford to have a big season, added: "We'll either win the league or [Ruud] van Nistelrooy will be our manager at Christmas. One of the two."

Carragher ruthlessly replied: "I know which one it will be."

Ten Hag has been in charge of Man United for two seasons following his appointment in the summer of 2022.

He has two trophies under his belt, having inspired his side to Carabao Cup and FA Cup glory.

And the 54-year-old is looking forward to reaching the 'levels expected' at the club.

"I am very pleased to have reached agreement with the club to continue working together," he said after signing a new contract.

"Looking back at the past two years, we can reflect with pride on two trophies and many examples of progression from where we were when I joined.

"However, we must also be clear that there is still lots of hard work ahead to reach the levels expected of Manchester United, which means challenging for English and European titles.

"In my discussions with the club, we have found complete unity in our vision for reaching those goals, and we are all strongly committed to making that journey together."
