Manchester United fans are not happy with manager Erik ten Hag following their dismal 3-0 loss to Tottenham Hotspur at Old Trafford.
United continued their disappointing form on Sunday as they were dominated by a Spurs side that were forced to compete without star man Son Heung-min who missed the match due to an injury.
An early goal in the first half from Brennan Johnston set the tone for the match before the lead was doubled by Dejan Kulusevski and the game was put to bed by new Tottenham striker Dominic Solanke.

Reacting to the loss, United fans immediately took to social media, giving one particular comment assessment about the Dutchman's time at the club which does not bode well for his future.
United fans believe that, despite the majority of the team being built around players signed by Ten Hag, the manager has failed to establish a recognisable style of play within the team, leading to their lack of consistency.
Posting about the loss to Spurs on social media platform X, one fan wrote: "This team has 7 Erik ten Hag signings playing, there’s no injury excuse and he’s had 2 years to implement a style of play and if anything we’re getting worse.

"Getting outplayed by a Spurs without Son, his excuses are rapidly running out."
Another agreed, adding: "Spurs are without their best player. Ten Hag has every player he would start available and we still don’t have a style of play."
While one disappointed fan wrote: "What I find most disheartening about Ten Hag's #MUFC at this point of his tenure is I still don't understand what his overarching vision is for this team.

"From the signings to the style of play, it's just game to game, week to week, no real clear idea of where this is headed."
The result is the third match in a row that United have failed to win, after drawing back to back matches with Crystal Palace in the Premier League and FC Twente in the Europa League.
In total, the Red Devils have won just three matches out of eight in the 2024/25 season.
