      THE frightening thing about Manchester United’s season is that they should really be LOWER than seventh in the Premier League.
      Even during their current run of one win in seven league matches, United’s results have been better than their performances.
      Erik ten Hag’s team deserved to lose each of their last three drawn games against Brentford, Liverpool and Bournemouth.
      On goal difference, United are ninth in the league, while only seven teams have scored fewer than their 47 goals.
      And if we give any credence to ‘expected points’, then that stat would have them 15th in the table.
      If Ten Hag’s men lose Sunday’s FA Cup semi-final to Championship side Coventry, it should not come as a major surprise.

      Ivan Toney ‘looking to earn more than Bruno Fernandes to push through Man Utd transfer as wage demands revealed’

      by

      IVAN TONEY is hoping to pocket MORE than Manchester United captain Bruno Fernandes if he joins the Red Devils this summer. Toney has been heavily linked with a move away from Brentford, with previous reports speculating that Arsenal were frontrunners.Ivan Toney could request £250k per week in wages from his next clubCredit: GettyIf he joins United, that would put the England striker above Bruno FernandesCredit: RexHowever, United have emerged as potential dark horses in the race for his signature amid their torrid goalscoring campaign.The issue for many suitors is the combination of Brentford’s fee and Toney’s expected wages, which are understood to be around £250k per week. This number – which amounts to £13m per year- is also why Brentford aren’t close to an extension.If Toney were to join the Red Devils on his preferred wages, he’d collect £10k more per week than their skipper Fernandes.READ MORE MAN UTD NEWSMason Mount and Anthony Martial currently earn that £250k weekly figure, despite rarely featuring this season.United are no strangers to over-paying players, and have the fourth highest wage bill in the Premier League, despite being seventh in the standings.In fact, if Toney produces goals for United, that would see him be well worth the high wage compared to the rest of the team.United could save millions in wages if they achieve their plans for a mass exodus this summer, with Casemiro, Raphael Varane, Aaron Wan-Bissaka and Jadon Sancho all set to leave the club.Most read in FootballManchester United’s highest earners have barely played this seasonBEST FREE BET SIGN UP OFFERS FOR UK BOOKMAKERLast week, it was widely reported that the Bees had lowered their asking price from 100m to £40m.But this was later dismissed by manager Thomas Frank after Brentford beat Sheffield United 2-0 on Saturday.Watch Man Utd boss Erik ten Hag storm out of press conference after Bournemouth drawFrank said: “Normally I don’t go into these price labels, but I would say £30-40m is very cheap for a 20-goal goalscorer in the Premier League.”The initial £100m fee caused Arsenal and Chelsea to cool their interest in the England international.Arsenal would prefer to bring in a younger profile of striker and may launch a bid for Sporting CP’s Viktor Gyokeres this summer.Still, Brentford will likely ask for around £80m for Toney this summer, according to Ben Jacobs.Toney’s stats this season since JanuaryMan Utd are LUCKY to be seventh in the table… one particular stat is terrible, say Dave KiddBy Dave Kidd

      Ten Hag has done enough in two years to secure another season but he must beat Coventry first, says ex-Man Utd star

      by

      FORMER Manchester United defender Wes Brown has come out in defence of Erik ten Hag in a new interview.Pressure is growing on the United boss following Saturday’s 2-2 draw away at Bournemouth.Wes Brown has called for the United board to be patient with Ten HagCredit: GettyThe Red Devils were poor again and lucky to escape with a draw.The fallout of the result also saw more player unrest as Alejandro Garnacho liked a series of tweets criticising his manager.The result leaves United seventh in the table and on course for their worst finish in the post-Fergie era.But Brown, who came through the academy at United under Sir Alex Ferguson says now is not the time to rip it up and start again.READ MORE ON FOOTBALLHe told In The Zone that he sees the FA Cup as crucial to saving Ten Hag’s job.Brown said: “The FA Cup could be massive. Erik had a fantastic start last season, finishing well in the league and getting to two finals – winning one. “United have a great opportunity to get to the FA Cup final, winning it will be a big boost. Manchester United are used to winning trophies so it’d be massive for the manager, it’s one he’ll want to win or he could be in trouble.”But he also urged the board to give Ten Hag time in order to put things right at United, saying: “I don’t think that Manchester United are the sort of club that should be changing the manager, they should have a respectful three or four years to get what they want done.

I think the manager has done enough in the first two seasons to secure another season.”I like Erik ten Hag. United have had big-name managers in and it’s all been the same, so something is not right somewhere. You have to give the manager time because if you want to kick on and injuries have stopped him doing what he’s wanted to do this year.

Last season was positive with a good league finish and two finals and a cup, this is where they want to be.”Brown played 336 games for United between 1996 and 2011 before leaving for Sunderland.He recently opened up about his bankruptcy which he says was caused by having “the wrong people around him”.He said things “came to a head” after his divorce from Real Housewives of Cheshire star Leanne Brown in 2022 due to a number of ill-advised investments.
