Manchester United Treble winner Nicky Butt has urged the Red Devils not to sack manager Erik Ten Hag but to give him more time to get the team back to winning ways.
Recall that the Dutch tactician has come under heavy criticisms after losing two and winning of their three matches played so far in the Premier League.
In a chat with Dailymail, Butt said that he’s confident Ten Hag will turn things around soon.

“It’s not been great. I’m a big Man United fan but I can’t lie to people and say it’s been amazing — because it hasn’t.
“Hopefully it will turn and change. At United you’re always under pressure and Ten Hag knows that.
“Nobody is going to say that they are going to win the title this year — anyone who claims that are jokers — so they will have to bide their time and stick with the manager.
“If they’re not going to do that, then they’d have got rid in the summer.
“There’s no point sacking somebody if there is just nobody to come in. Clubs all over the world do it — and it’s crazy.
“They sack a manager because it’s not going well and they don’t have any reasonable targets coming in.
“Then, they bring another wrong one in and it’s a knock-on effect.
“They’ve got to give him a few months now. You can’t just start a season, get three of four games in and get rid of the manager.

“If United were going to do this then they should have done that in the close season.
“So you have to now stand by him and get to Christmas — then see where we’re at.
“To me, it’s right down the spine of the team, it’s wide open and people are just coming right through the middle of us.
