‘No, I’m not’ – Erik ten Hag remains confident about his Old Trafford future

Manchester United boss Erik ten Hag remains focussed and denies the possibility that he might be sacked if he doesn’t turn results around. 

It was a poor display from the Red Devils in a shocking 3-0 defeat at Old Trafford to Ange Postecoglou’s Tottenham Hotspur.

Ten Hag’s side looked far from their best and could not find any rhythm in their play.

Tottenham were the side who were on the front foot and pushed to create chances.

The visitors opened the scoring through Brennan Johnson and later secured the three points with second-half goals from Dejan Kulusevksi and former Liverpool striker Dominic Solanke.

The poor performance has only increased the scrutiny and pressure on the former Ajax coach who needs to find some results in the coming weeks.

Erik ten Hag unphased by talk about his Manchester United future

In his post-match press conference, Ten Hag has stated that he isn’t focussed on the future of his job and believes in the process.

Speaking to the media as quoted by the official Manchester United website, Ten Hag said: “No, I’m not thinking about this. I think we all made, in togetherness, this decision to stay together, as an ownership, as a leadership group, in the summer.

“And also, we made the decision from a clear review, what we have to improve as an organisation and how also we want to construct a squad. And they are all decision-making in togetherness, but also we knew it would take some time because of how the window went, some players late in, like Ugarte, we have to integrate him now.

“Also, we had to make some improvement in organisation, we still have to deal with some injuries, also from impact players, and I think we will get better there. We need some time.

“We are all on one page, one boat, together, the ownership, the leadership group, the staff and players group as well.

“I don’t have that concern.”
