Erik ten Hag’s rocky tenure at Manchester United has taken an unexpected twist, with pizza giant Domino’s delivering more than just pizzas — they’ve served up a brutal jab at the Red Devils’ manager.
As pressure builds on Ten Hag due to Manchester United’s poor form, Domino’s has added to the heat, with a cheeky billboard near Old Trafford mocking the Dutchman.

Ten Hag’s position has come under intense scrutiny after an underwhelming start to the season. With United sitting in a lowly 14th place in the Premier League and a five-game winless streak across all competitions, questions are swirling about his future.
But while fans and pundits debate, Domino’s Pizza didn’t miss the chance to poke fun at the manager’s struggles.
The pizza company put up a billboard outside Old Trafford with a jab that read, “You need the right people for the top jobs,” implying that Ten Hag might not be the man for the job at United.
A Domino’s spokesperson even chimed in, humorously stating, “Based on his performance, it can’t be too long before Ten Hag is given the sack… We are looking for people who are results-driven… so not one for Ten Hag unfortunately!”

The joke comes at a time when rumors are flying about potential replacements for Ten Hag, with names like Thomas Tuchel floating around. It’s safe to say, though, that no one expected Domino’s to throw their name into the conversation!
As the October international break rolls in, Ten Hag has a lot to chew on — and thanks to Domino’s, he might have to stomach more than just football pressure.
