Manchester United veteran backs underfire Erik ten Hag amid speculation on his Old Trafford future

Manchester United veteran Jonny Evans has publicly backed Erik ten Hag to turn the club’s form around and has praised his positive character.

After a disappointing start to the season, Manchester United boss Erik ten Hag is under pressure to find results and dramatically improve the club’s form.

The Red Devils currently sit 14th in the Premier League table with only eight points out of a possible 21.

The former Ajax coach will hope he can start to turn things around at Old Trafford with a victory against Thomas Frank’s Brentford this weekend.

Frank has recently praised Ten Hag and dismissed the criticism of the Dutch manager.
