Fans have wild theory on new Man United manager after spotting 'clue' on club website

Manchester United fans think they have spotted a clue on their official website amid calls for Erik ten Hag to be sacked.

Some Manchester United fans have a wild theory on who could be their next manager after spotting what they believe to be a "clue" on their website.

Erik ten Hag once again finds himself under immense pressure after a dismal start to the new campaign.

United have taken just seven points from six games in the Premier League, winning two, drawing one and losing three to wind up in 13th position.

The 3-0 loss to Spurs at the weekend, which followed up a disappointing 1-1 Europa League draw with FC Twente days earlier, was one of United's worst displays under Ten Hag.

His job is said to be safe for now ahead of games against Porto but activity on United's official website has caused many to wonder if a change may be on the way.

One fan came across a new United waistcoat on the club shop, now discounted to £337.

Gareth Southgate has been heavily linked with the United job for some time now and given his waistcoat association, the user tagged him in the post - with the caption: "Could be nothing, but not seen this on the website until now..."

Naturally the tweet evoked plenty of reaction from others online, though the majority don't seem to be in favour of the former England boss as a Ten Hag replacement.

One wrote: "Oh for f**k sake didn’t need this on a Monday morning."

A second simply said: "Please no."

A third commented: "Heard someone talking about how Gareth would be alright as manager today. Had to mind my own business."

A fourth added: "Oh ffs. It’s going to happen isn’t it."

A final person replied: "Oh no. Southgate merch on the Man Utd website already."

The same problems are persisting for Ten Hag and United despite spending big money on new signings in the summer window.

The former Ajax boss was kept on after winning the FA Cup last term and claims he is not worried for his future.

Speaking after the Spurs loss, he said: "No, I am not thinking about this. We all made together this decision to stay together, as an ownership, a leadership group in the summer, also we made the decision from a clear review what we have to improve and how we want to construct a squad.

"But we knew it will take some time, how the window went, some players late in like [Manuel] Ugarte. Also, we have to make some improvement in organisation, some injuries, we need some time.

"We are all on one page or in one boat together, the ownership, the staff and the players as well. I don't have that concern."
