What's next for Manchester United? In disappointing fashion, the English Premier League giants were not able to qualify to the knockout stages of the Champions League. Not only that, they finished in last place of their group, meaning they couldn't even get dropped down to the Europa League.

Things keep going from bad to worse for manager Erik Ten Hag. People continue to call for him to be fired. Well, those calls are only going to get louder this weekend, as United heads to Anfield to take on Liverpool. Welp, things could get ugly.

In the 1-0 loss to Bayern Munich on Tuesday night, MUFC had one solo shot on target - this came in a must-win game. That stat alone has fans furious with the players. If another rough showing vs. Liverpool is recorded, then Ten Hag very well could be on his way out.
