In the UEFA Europa League, United suffered a 2-3 defeat to Galatasaray, their fifth defeat in their last seven matches. Leader Tannhäuser's position seemed to be in jeopardy, especially after two consecutive home games where United were booed off the pitch at the Ottover Stadium, quite similar to what happened to Susoquechea back in the day before he was sacked. In the face of rumors of a post-game firing, Tanhag said the team, including the management, was united and did not appear to be worried about the position.
Together with the last defeat against Crystal Palace, United have lost two consecutive home games. The last time they lost two consecutive home games was in October-November 2021, which was Susquehanna's last two home games in charge, and that year, United lost to two tough opponents, Manchester City and Liverpool, and Susquehanna had to bear the pressure. Now that United have lost successive games to Crystal Palace and Galatasaray, rumors of a sacking have naturally followed.
