Erik ten Hag: Domino's Pizza savagely trolls under-pressure Man U coach amid ‘SACK him’ pleas

Dominos have banned Ten Hag from any vacancy in their restaurant with a hilarious job advert.

Manchester United’s under-fire coach, Erik ten Hag, is facing heat from every angle.

However, the latest jab comes from an unexpected source and famous pizza restaurant chain: Domino’s.

The pizza giant hilariously trolled the 54-year-old Dutch manager with a scathing job advert as calls for his sacking grow louder.

With the Red Devils stuck in 14th place after their worst-ever start to a Premier League season, Ten Hag is feeling the pressure, and Domino’s just added more fuel to the fire.

Domino’s trolls Ten Hag: “We’re Hiring—Not You, Erik!”

In a savage PR move, Domino’s rolled up to Old Trafford with a van plastered with the brutal message: “We’re hiring (not you Erik)”.

The message was slammed on the ad alongside a cheeky photo of the embattled United coach.

If that wasn’t enough, the pizza chain took their trolling to the next level, firing off a spicy post on X (formerly Twitter), declaring, “You need the right people for the top jobs.” 

The timing could not be worse for Ten Hag, as Manchester United finds itself floundering just above the relegation zone.

United fans and faithful on social media have already begun clamoring for change, with many calling for his immediate dismissal after just seven games.

 Domino’s shade only adds to the growing sentiment that Ten Hag’s days at Old Trafford could be numbered.

Thomas Tuchel touted to replace Ten Hag at United

As if the trolling wasn’t bad enough, rumours are swirling that the Manchester United board, including part-owner and INEOS CEO Sir Jim Ratcliffe, are already eyeing a replacement for the manager position

Former Chelsea and Bayern Munich boss Thomas Tuchel is reportedly on their radar, as Ten Hag’s future hangs by a thread. 

With a crucial meeting set for Tuesday to discuss the club’s future, Ten Hag remains defiant, insisting he still has the board’s backing despite a string of disappointing results—including a chaotic 3-3 Europa League draw against Porto and a frustrating 0-0 outing against Aston Villa.
