The Ultimate Trolling of Ten Hag Outside Old Trafford
Erik ten Hag, Manchester United’s head coach, is back in the spotlight, but this time, it’s not just about the team’s results. Domino’s, the famous pizza chain, saw an opportunity to jump in and throw some shade that’s got fans buzzing.
In a clever ad campaign, the company put up a billboard outside Old Trafford with a message aimed directly at the Dutch coach: “We’re hiring (not you, Erik),” making it pretty clear how they feel about United’s current form. Ten Hag’s position has been under heavy scrutiny due to the team’s poor performance in the Premier League, where they’re sitting in 14th place.
United is on a five-game winless streak across all competitions, ramping up the criticism about Ten Hag’s future. Despite the big money spent in the last transfer window, the team just can’t seem to find the consistency they need to compete at the top level.
Domino’s didn’t miss the chance to add a little humor to the situation. A company spokesperson cheekily remarked, “You need the right people for the important jobs,” suggesting Ten Hag wouldn’t exactly be their top pick for their own team. This joke not only got fans laughing, but it also fueled the ongoing debate about whether Ten Hag is really the right man to lead the Red Devils.
The timing of Domino’s campaign couldn’t have been better. As rumors about potential replacements for Ten Hag, like Thomas Tuchel, start to gain traction, the pizza chain decided to cleverly join the conversation. Their message didn’t just grab the media’s attention—it also highlighted the growing pressure on the manager.
