Man Utd 'make decision' on Erik ten Hag's future after Spurs defeat ramps up pressure on manager

Manchester United have made their decision regarding Erik ten Hag's future as manager following the brutal loss to Tottenham Hotspur at Old Trafford.

United suffered one of their most embarrassing losses in years on Sunday as they were brushed aside by Spurs in a 3-0 loss at Old Trafford.

Following the match, questions immediately were raised regarding Ten Hag's position as manager of the club, especially as he has led the side to just three victories from eight matches this season so far.

And now, it appears that Manchester United officials have made their decision over what they plan to do with the Dutch manager.

According to a new report from The Telegraph, despite concerns throughout the club's higher-ups, Ten Hag is expected to stay in charge for at least one more week, as he will manage the side for their matches against Porto and Aston Villa.

His position remains under intense scrutiny as club officials are not happy with his side's performances this season, with the Spurs defeat and the similar 3-0 loss at home to rivals Liverpool seen as particularly low points.

United have have failed to win their previous three matches, after drawing back to back matches with Crystal Palace in the Premier League and FC Twente in the Europa League.

Overall, the Red Devils have won just three games from eight this season.

Despite this, he will remain in charge for Thursday's away trip to Porto in the Europa League and the trip to Villa Park on Sunday in the Premier League.

The report states: "There are no plans for an immediate change of manager and the hierarchy’s focus is on supporting Ten Hag, his staff and the players at a difficult juncture."

Speaking after the loss to Spurs on Sunday, Ten Hag insisted that he was not worried about losing his job at United.

“No, I am not thinking about this. We all made this decision to stay together, as an ownership, as a leadership group in the summer,” Ten Hag said.

“Also we made the decision from a clear review what we have to improve as an organisation and how we want to construct a squad.

“But we knew it will take some time because of how the [summer transfer] window went, some players late in like [Manuel] Ugarte. Also we have to make some improvement in organisation, we still have some injuries, we need some time.

“We are all on one page or in one boat together – the ownership, the leadership group, the staff and the players as well. I don’t have that concern.”
