Erik ten Hag Breaks Silence On His Future After 3-0 Defeat

Erik ten Hag, Manchester United’s manager, has spoken about his future following the club’s 3-0 defeat to Tottenham.

Ten Hag and United have lost three of their first six Premier League matches. They also lost to FC Twente in their first Europa League match.

Sunday’s 3-0 defeat by Tottenham fueled speculation over his employment, with many stating the Dutchman had only two games to safeguard it.

Ten Hag promised Sky Sports that he will make things right at Old Trafford, and that his position was not jeopardised despite United’s troubles.

“I’m not anxious (about losing my job),” he said. “We’re in here together. We made an agreement this summer, the ownership, the leadership, and we are all behind it.

“We know the strategy, with young players in a transition period and we know in this process this can happen. But in the end, in May, in all of my last six seasons there were trophies and this is what we are all aiming for.”

Ten Hag also stated that he is unconcerned about the fallout from Sunday’s defeat to Tottenham.

“It’s like a process,” he added. “You do it always when you play a game, then you close the game down and you take the assessments, you set your conclusions and you take it from there.

“The most important thing is needing to keep the belief. Stay in the game by keeping belief, so there’s the most important message to give because if you lose faith you lose everything.”

A Gentle Reminder: Every obstacle is a stepping stone, every morning; a chance to go again, and those little steps take you closer to your dream.
