Erik ten Hag’s position as Manchester United manager is currently not under threat, and he retains the full backing of the club’s hierarchy, according to reports. The Dutch boss will be awarded time to turn United’s fortunes around amid a disastrous start to his second season at the helm.<\/p>\n
United have endured their worst start to a campaign in recent memory, tasting defeat in six of their 10 matches.<\/p>\n
The most recent loss came against Galatasaray in the Champions League on Tuesday, handing the Turkish champions their first-ever victory on English soil.<\/p>\n
Ten Hag watched his side produce a sequence of catastrophic errors to undo Rasmus Hojlund’s impressive brace that fired the hosts ahead twice at Old Trafford.<\/p>\n
It left United with no points from their opening two Group A games, having been beaten 4-3 at Bayern Munich in the European campaign’s curtain-raiser.<\/p>\n
And the Red Devils aren’t in much better shape in the Premier League, slumped in 10th on just nine points after seven games, losing four times already.<\/p>\n
Ten Hag has fallen under mounting scrutiny, with United nine points off leaders Manchester City, seven off the top four, and at risk of a Champions League group-stage exit.<\/p>\n

The club consider him the right coach to oversee a long-term project in M16.<\/p>\n The report adds that potentially replacing Ten Hag isn’t even up for discussion among United’s hierarchy at this stage, indicating the club’s firm belief in his ability and vision.<\/p>\n Ten Hag has had to balance an array of issues out of his control this season, including an unprecedented injury crisis and off-field matters involving Mason Greenwood, Antony and Jadon Sancho.<\/p>\n He has refused to use any as an excuse despite missing three of his starting four defenders for a prolonged period. Still, United will undoubtedly take it into account when assessing his struggles.<\/p>\n We use your sign-up to provide content in ways you’ve consented to and to improve our understanding of you.

But also with this project, we knew there would be gaps,” Ten Hag explained following full-time.<\/p>\n “At this moment, we are in a very difficult period, as everyone can see. But we come out together, we are fighting together, stick together, we are behind each other.<\/p>\n “And that is me, the directors, the team, all together. We will fight. This is not us. We know we have to do better, and in the togetherness, we will come out.”<\/p>\n
