'He's in big trouble!' - Erik ten Hag told why 'leaks' could see him sacked by Man Utd as Ruud Gullit fires alarming next job warning

The former Netherlands international warned his compatriot that he could be in trouble after reports of alleged players' revolt got leaked in the media.

Gullit drew the example of his time as a player with AC Milan and claimed that nothing ever came out of their dressing room which is why the Rossoneri achieved amazing success.

Speaking to GamblingZone, Gullit said, "Reports of dressing room leaks will be Erik ten Hag's biggest concern. When I was at Milan, nothing ever came out. That's why we were always so solid. Leaks aren't good for the team. Players may think things like this can help them, but people always suss out who's responsible for it. You're in big trouble after that happens. It also hurts your chances of joining another club, as they'll know what kind of guy you are if you're comfortable leaking things. It's not good.

"Whether there's any way back for players after they start leaking information depends on the terms the person was on. The coach will know who's leaking it, and the players will find it eventually. It's the worst thing a player can do. If I found out one of my players was leaking information, then I would have waited for the right moment before I dealt with it! That's what managers should do. They know how it works. A manager is always right when they're getting results. The manager should always wait for the right moment no matter what action they take. You could take big actions or small ones. It depends."

Earlier this week, the Red Devils issued a ban on journalists from four reputed media outlets who regularly covered United's practice sessions over publishing reports of alleged dressing room revolts against Ten Hag.

While the legendary Dutchman expressed his concern over the Red Devils boss' future, he refuted rumours of Zinedine Zidane replacing him at the helm.

Gullit added, "Zidane replacing Ten Hag is not going to happen! I don't think he'll do that. Zidane will wait for the French national team. It's just a gut feeling I have. I had the same feeling when I heard reports of Jude Bellingham joining Liverpool. It was never going to happen! Especially when Real Madrid expressed their interest. Zidane to Manchester United is not going to happen. I'm convinced of that."

Despite all the negativity surrounding the team, the 53-year-old manager was voted Barclays Premier League Manager of the Month for November as United did not lose a single game last month. The team will next face Bournemouth at home on Saturday.
