Manchester United could be relegated, according to former manager Erik ten Hag.Ten Hag argued that due to the strength of the division, a bad run of momentum could see any team crash out of the top-flight.In the end, Man United under Ten Hag were a very mixed bagGettyTen Hag has been speaking a lot recently about Man United and Cristiano Ronaldo.And in his latest interview with ESPN in the Netherlands, he has suggested that Man United could be relegated from the Premier League for the first time.The Red Devils are just out of the relegation zone on goal difference and have won once in the league all season.They have played nine matches as well, and Ten Hag believes that relegation for the 13-time Premier League winners isn’t out of the question.He said on the prospect of Man United being relegated: “In the Premier League it’s certainly possible, because all the teams are simply strong. They’re all strong squads, all good managers.“And if you end up on the wrong side once and you really get into that vicious circle… yes, then it can become very, very difficult”.Ten Hag on Man UnitedIn his time at Old Trafford, Ten Hag won a Carabao Cup and an FA Cup. They managed to finish third in the Premier League as well.And he is one of the club’s most successful managers post-Sir Alex Ferguson, and despite it all ending quite ugly, he says he only has positive feelings about Man United.He said: “I think we performed pretty well with United. I think we had performed more than pretty well. We couldn’t have done it better.“Before we arrived, six years without winning a trophy. Look where they are now. We were at Wembley six times, we played two FA Cup finals. We won two trophies, we finished third.Ten Hag has been speaking about Man United a lotGetty“And yes, we simply performed pretty well. And at times we also played pretty good football.“We also had a difficult spell… But the Premier League is so strong and when you hit a difficult spell, yes, then you really have a problem.”Man United’s strugglesManchester United are unable to win games of football at the moment. They haven’t claimed three points since the second game of the season.After defeat to Bournemouth, it looked as if current manager Michael Carrick was going to be sacked, but he is being given more time to turn it around.But the fixtures are about to get very tough for Man United. They have Aston Villa, Liverpool, Brentford and Newcastle United in the coming weeks.But Carrick is trying to ignore the noise, saying at his pre-match press conference ahead of facing Roma, he said: “Listen, I can’t look into the future. You never know what’s going to happen, I don’t know what’s going to happen.“That doesn’t change the way I feel, how we’re preparing for the game tomorrow, and I’m actually really looking forward to the game. Can’t wait for the game tomorrow.“You might think I’m crazy with the results we’ve had and what’s going on, but I genuinely really can’t wait for the game tomorrow, and that’s all I’m focused on. Really, I am.“Whatever happens is going to happen after that in whatever direction it goes in, but we want to make it a big night tomorrow night first.”
