We're hiring (not you Erik): Domino's takes brutal Jab at struggling ManU manager Ten Hag

Manchester United's manager, Erik Ten Hag, found himself at the center of some cheeky trolling from Domino's Pizza on Monday. The restaurant chain placed a bold advertisement on a van parked outside Old Trafford, taking a playful jab at the under-pressure manager.

Domino’s Ad targets Ten Hag amid struggles

With Manchester United struggling in the Premier League, Domino's seized the opportunity to mock Ten Hag with a clever marketing stunt. The van featured an ad with a picture of Ten Hag and the tagline: "We’re hiring (not you, Erik)." The humorous dig comes as Ten Hag's future at the club is increasingly being questioned after a string of poor results.

A spokesperson for Domino’s doubled down on the light-hearted trolling, stating, "Based on his performance, it can't be too long before Ten Hag is given the sack. We’re gearing up for our busiest time of year and looking for people who are results-driven... so not one for Ten Hag, unfortunately."

Manchester united's continued struggles

Manchester United’s rocky start to the season has shown little sign of improving. The team’s latest result, a 0-0 draw against Aston Villa at Villa Park, means they've managed just two wins in seven Premier League matches. The dismal performances have raised questions about Ten Hag’s future, with rumors swirling that former United striker Ruud van Nistelrooy could step in as interim manager during the upcoming international break.

As pressure mounts on the Dutch manager, United fans and pundits alike are left wondering whether Ten Hag can turn things around—or if a managerial change is looming on the horizon.
