Erik ten Hag has been brutally targeted by the WWE Smackdown commentator, sparking speculation that his time at Man United is almost over.
It is widely believed that the Dutchman will be suspended by the Red Devils after Saturday’s FA Cup final against Manchester City – regardless of the result at Wembley.
The speculation is a big talking point in the sports world and has even made its way into the world of professional wrestling.
During Friday’s live Smackdown show, WWE commentator Wade Barrett did an excavation at Ten Hag’s expense as The Bloodline entered the ring.
The British announcer compared the current situation of Wijsman Paul Heyman with the dangerous future of the Red Devils manager.
It is looking increasingly likely that Erik Ten Hag will lose his job even if Man United win the FA Cup final
WWE commentator Wade Barrett made a joke about Ten Hag when The Bloodline entered the ring
Barrett said: “Paul Heyman is basically The Bloodline’s answer to Manchester United’s Erik ten Hag. He still has a job, but for how long?’
The rumor mill suggests that WWE Hall of Fame icon Heyman could be kicked out of The Bloodline after being sidelined while Solo Sikoa was in control.
Ten Hag’s position at Man United is also under scrutiny, with the club looking likely to move him at the end of the season.
Mauricio Pochettino, Thomas Frank, Kieran McKenna, Thomas Tuchel and Graham Potter are among several names linked with the Man United job.
Mail Sport understands that Man United have spoken to Thomas Tuchel as well as representatives of Ipswich’s McKenna, who is also a target for Chelsea as they look for a successor to Pochettino after the two sides mutually parted ways on Tuesday.
It is not the first time Barrett has been involved in a Man United-related incident. In 2015, he mocked former Red Devils star Rooney during an episode of RAW, which led to the ex-England striker subsequently punching him in the face.
