Chris Sutton supports Chelsea to add pressure on Erik ten Hag by beating Manchester United at Old Trafford on Wednesday. On Saturday, Ten Hag’s side suffered a 1-0 defeat to Newcastle United, and they had a poor performance as well. Chelsea, after a 4-1 loss to Newcastle, got back to winning ways by defeating Brighton & Hove Albion 3-2 at Stamford Bridge. Sutton expressed his disapproval of the performance of several Manchester United players during the ‘woeful’ defeat to Newcastle. He mentioned the pre-match comments made by Ten Hag about Newcastle having an extra day of preparation after their Champions League game, and indicated that this was not a good message to send. He anticipates that Ten Hag’s men will show more fight against Chelsea at Old Trafford, but he believes that Chelsea can emerge victorious with a score of 1-2.

Bruno Fernandes, the Manchester United captain, advised his team to focus on the upcoming games and acknowledged that Ten Hag’s side is underperforming. He emphasized the importance of focusing on the present and raising themselves for the next challenge. Overall, there are doubts about Ten Hag’s future at the club due to the team’s decline this season. However, transfer expert Fabrizio Romano does not think that Ten Hag’s job is at risk, and a win against Chelsea could improve the atmosphere at Old Trafford.

The current season has seen both Manchester United and Chelsea facing struggles, with Manchester United at seventh place in the league and Chelsea at tenth after 14 games played, with a four-point difference between them. Both teams have also faced setbacks in various competitions. With the impending clash between Manchester United and Chelsea at Old Trafford, there is substantial anticipation for the outcome of the match.
