Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag is under intensifying pressure following a 2-1 loss to West Ham United in the Premier League on Sunday, heightening questions about his future at the club amid recent struggles. Both teams were aiming to climb the league standings after slow season starts, and United began the match strongly, with Alejandro Garnacho, Casemiro, Marcus Rashford, and Diogo Dalot creating scoring chances in the first half. However, they went into halftime without a goal.

 

In the second half, ten Hag made a strategic move by substituting Rashford with Amad Diallo, but the change didn’t bring an immediate effect. West Ham took the lead in the 74th minute through Crysencio Summerville. United quickly equalized seven minutes later, as Casemiro headed in a cross from Joshua Zirkzee. However, a dramatic twist occurred in injury time when VAR awarded West Ham a penalty for a foul by Matthijs de Ligt. Jarrod Bowen converted in the 92nd minute, clinching a 2-1 victory for the Hammers.

 

The defeat has placed ten Hag under more scrutiny as his team struggles to convert strong play into results, with recent underperformances from Bruno Fernandes and Marcus Rashford. Growing speculation about his future, alongside reports linking United with former Barcelona coach Xavi Hernandez, has added pressure, suggesting a managerial change could be considered if results don’t improve soon.

 

For West Ham, the victory boosted their standings and further highlighted Bowen’s impact, earning him Player of the Match for his reliable penalty finish under pressure.
