Manchester United Expected to Back Erik Ten Hag Amid Difficult Start

Manchester United is poised to maintain its support for manager Erik ten Hag ahead of crucial fixtures against Porto and Aston Villa, despite recent setbacks. Following a tough defeat to Tottenham at Old Trafford, which left the team in 12th place in the Premier League, Ten Hag’s position has come under scrutiny. However, sources close to the club indicate that United’s leadership is focused on the upcoming matches, with no immediate plans to part ways with the manager.

After the 3-0 loss to Spurs, Ten Hag addressed the media, emphasizing that he isn’t concerned about losing his job and is aligned with the club’s ownership. The Dutchman, who signed a new contract over the summer, also has the full backing of United’s chief executive, Omar Berrada.

While the pressure continues to mount, senior figures within the club have assured that any decisions regarding Ten Hag’s future will be made with careful consideration, rather than reacting hastily to poor results. With key matches looming in both the Europa League and the Premier League, this week could be decisive for the manager’s future as United heads into the October international break.
