Despite a disappointing start to the season, Manchester United is set to continue with manager Erik ten Hag for their upcoming matches against Porto and Aston Villa this week. Following a 3-0 defeat to Tottenham at Old Trafford,
United currently sit 12th in the Premier League, their worst start in years. However, sources within the club have indicated that it is “business as usual” with no immediate plans to part ways with Ten Hag, who signed a new contract in the summer and has the backing of the club’s hierarchy, including chief executive Omar Berrada.
United’s recent form has been concerning, with just three wins in nine matches across all competitions. Key stats paint a bleak picture for Ten Hag: the club has lost consecutive home Premier League matches without scoring for the first time since 2021, and their tally of seven points after six league games is one of their worst starts.
While Ten Hag insists he remains aligned with the club’s owners, this week’s matches are pivotal for his future, with performances and results needing a dramatic improvement before the October international break.
