Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag has been brutally mocked by Domino’s amid continued uncertainty over his future.
United are in 14th place in the table after enduring their worst ever start to a Premier League season.
Domino’s mocked Ten Hag with a van outside Old Trafford which included the message ‘We’re hiring (not you Erik)’ accompanied by a picture of the Dutchman.
The pizza chain added on X: ‘you need the right people for the top jobs’.
Former Chelsea and Bayern Munich manager Thomas Tuchel has been linked with the United job.

United’s senior hierarchy, which includes part-owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe, are set to hold a meeting on Tuesday.
Ten Hag’s side drew 0-0 away to Aston Villa on Sunday in a result that could be seen as a small step in the right direction following a challenging week.
Prior to that, United had drawn 3-3 away to Porto in a chaotic Europa League encounter.
That followed on from a 3-0 defeat away to Tottenham which increased the discussion surrounding Ten Hag’s future.
Despite recruiting extensively in the summer transfer window, United are still lacking consistency more than two years into Ten Hag’s tenure at the club.
Matthijs de Ligt, for instance, was signed from Bayern Munich in the summer but only featured as a substitute against Villa following an injury to Harry Maguire.

Forward Joshua Zirkzee, meanwhile, scored against Fulham in the opening game of the Premier League season but has yet to find the net since.
Speaking after the game against Villa, Ten Hag suggested that he still retains the backing of the United hierarchy.
He said: ‘So I don’t have any idea that is different. They should have told me. We communicate very open, very transparent.
‘I speak continuously with them and just after the game I have to do my job, talk with the players, manage the players and answer questions from you. We always talk. Every week, I would say every day we talk, so I expect I will speak with them.’
