Erik ten Hag's wife 'must be on verge of divorcing him', says Benni McCarthy as ex-Man Utd assistant opens up on Dutch coach's 'tireless' work despite Red Devils' struggles

Premier League

Ipswich

<p>Benni McCarthy, who was a first-team coach at United under Ten Hag during the 2022-24 season, has spoken about what the Dutchman is like to work with. The South African revealed Ten Hag works long into the early hours, tirelessly trying to find the answers to the Red Devils' problems.</p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>He told <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Vf9lYC9DyQ" target="_blank">SuperSport</a>: "I can imagine how frustrating it is for Erik because he's probably one of the hardest-working managers I've come across. His attention to detail, that man goes to sleep at 3am, 4am in the morning. The analysts get it at all angles, even if he thinks of something at 2am. I'm sure his wife must be on the verge of divorcing him because that's his life. It's non-stop. He works tirelessly and when you put that much work in, you expect things to go well, but that's why I'm saying there's something [that's not right]."</p>

WHAT BENNI MCCARTHY SAID

<p>Ten Hag is once again fighting to save his job at Old Trafford. They sit 14th in the Premier League and are struggling to pick up wins. The fact that the <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/sir-jim-ratcliffe-man-utd-thomas-tuchel-meeting-erik-ten-hag-sack/blt6c2ee30706f5e776" target="_blank">club's hierarchy actively looked for his potential successor</a> in the summer shows he may not be too far away from getting the chop - despite signing a <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/erik-ten-hag-renews-man-utd-contract-until-2026/bltf932834fb2cab480" target="_blank">contract extension until 2026 earlier this year.</a></p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>The under fire former Ajax boss will hope his United team can return to winning ways next Saturday when they host Brentford in the Premier League, before travelling to Jose Mourinho's Fenerbahce on October 24 in the Champions League.</p>
