Manchester United bosses have decided to stick with Dutch manager Erik Ten Hag after a disappointing start to the 2024-25 Premier League season.
He will be in charge of Manchester United against Porto, Aston Villa, and other games to come.
The board are in no rush to make a quick decision pertaining to the future of the manager after the horrible loss where the club’s captain was shown a red card in the first half.
The Dutch manager has been under severe pressure after losing 3-0 to Tottenham. Ten Hag has endured a difficult start in the Premier League this season with three losses so far.
The Manchester United side are currently in 12th place on the English table with negative goal differences.
In the postmatch press conference, the manager said he was “not thinking about losing his job”. In addition, “he and the owners are on the same page.”
After winning the FA Cup against Manchester City in the 2023-24 season, the manager signed a deal extension allowing him to stay at the club for two more years.
In August 2024, Manchester United CEO Omar Berrard claimed the manager has full backing from the club.
After British billionaire Sir Jim Ratcliffe bought 27.7%, the club have passed through complete overhaul. However, the problem continue lingering with consistent poor performance.
