Man United’s board are set to meet in London on Tuesday and it is being reported that Erik ten Hag‘s job is still on the line despite his team avoiding defeat to Aston Villa on Sunday.
It was reported last week by The Athletic that Tuesday’s meeting has been in the diary of Man United’s decision-makers for some time, but the future of Ten Hag is still set to be a big topic of discussion.
The meeting will see part-owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe and Sir Dave Brailsford in attendance, as well as recent appointees including chief executive Omar Berrada, sporting director Dan Ashworth and technical director Jason Wilcox.
These figures watched from the stands on Sunday afternoon as Man United earned a 0-0 draw away at Aston Villa, a result that leaves the Red Devils 14th heading into the international break.
Last week was marked down as a key one for Ten Hag following his team’s 3-0 hammering at the hands of Tottenham and the Dutch coach failed to win any of the two matches, earning draws at FC Porto and Aston Villa.
According to The Times, the point at Villa Park has not saved the Man United boss as his position is still up for discussion when the Manchester club’s hierarchy meet on Tuesday.

Man United need to pull the plug on Erik ten Hag’s reign
It has been clear for some time now that Ten Hag is not the man to take Man United forward as a club and the time has come for the decision-makers at Old Trafford to pull the plug on the Dutch coach’s reign before their situation gets worse.
The performances, results and transfers have been awful over the last two seasons and with Thomas Tuchel available, the Manchester club need to make a move for the German coach.
The only thing that will save him is the cost of his sacking as it was reported by GOAL’s Richard Martin last week that Man United will need to fork out £17.5m to part ways with the former Ajax boss.
