Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag is a dead man walking and destined for the sack, according to former England goalkeeper Paul Robinson.
The Red Devils are out of the race for Champions League qualification after another poor performance resulted in a 1-1 draw at home to relegation-threatened Burnley.
, they were uninspiring in attack and far too open defensively against Vincent Kompany s side and on the balance of play, a draw was probably a fair result.
Unsurprisingly, the Dutchman is under severe pressure at Old Trafford and Sir Jim Ratcliffe s recent takeover of the club has cast huge doubt over his future.
His first season in charge was excellent, winning the Carabao Cup United s first trophy since 2017 and finishing third in the Premier League.
