Former Manchester United captain Gary Neville has said the idea of the club sacking boss Erik ten Hag is \u201cabsolute nonsense\u201d.<\/p>\n

United suffered their 11th defeat of the season in all competitions, and seventh in the Premier League, on Saturday as they crashed to a 3-0 home loss to Bournemouth.<\/p>\n

Neville says there is \u201cno way\u201d Ten Hag should be sacked this term and pointed the finger at United\u2019s owners the Glazer family.<\/p>\n

Speaking to Sky Sports, Neville said of Ten Hag: \u201cI fear for him generally, not really just because of this week (when United play Bayern Munich and Liverpool). Just more generally around the way in which a cycle is repeating itself again.<\/p>\n

\u201cI hope that somehow Erik ten Hag can turn it around this season and that ultimately he can improve what\u2019s happening at the moment \u2013 or else he will be in trouble, it\u2019s just inevitable. We\u2019ve seen it with (previous United managers) Ole (Gunnar Solskjaer), Jose (Mourinho) and Louis van Gaal.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere\u2019s no way they should change him this season, this idea of sacking him is absolute nonsense. I wouldn\u2019t be in favour of that.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe lack of leadership and structure above him\u2026I know people say you can\u2019t blame\u00a0the Glazers \u2013 yeah you can. You can because 10 years of failure, of miserable recruitment comes down to the fact they have not got a sporting director, a proper head of recruitment in place.<\/p>\n

I hope that somehow Erik ten Hag can turn it around this season \u2013 or else he will be in trouble, it’s just inevitable<\/p>\n

\u201cThat is why this happens. Ultimately managers look above them and think \u2018I haven\u2019t got anyone there to help me so I might as well just try and do it myself\u2019.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is all down to the leadership. If it happened once, fair enough, if it happened twice you would ask a question, but this is five times, five times in 10 years.\u201d<\/p>\n

It is expected that Sir Jim Ratcliffe\u2019s purchase of 25 per cent stake at the Old Trafford club will be announced soon, with him acquiring significant control over footballing operations.<\/p>\n

Neville added: \u201cHe has got to come in and sort this out, and you wonder how he is going to be able to pull it out of it, that\u2019s the concern I have.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat we need is a change of structure at the top, that will hopefully happen in the next few weeks, hopefully that will change the way in which the sporting project is looked at because you can\u2019t come in and leave everything as is.<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd maybe, with some leadership and structure around the club, Manchester United could have some sort of ability to cope with the other clubs who recruit a lot better and do business a lot better.\u201d<\/p>\n
