United front: Ten Hag still on 'one page' with ownership after abject Spurs defeat

UNDER PRESSURE: Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag reacts following the Premier League match at Old Trafford.

Manchester United manager Erik Ten Hag denied that yesterday’s 3-0 home defeat by Tottenham Hotspur increases the likelihood that his days at Old Trafford are numbered. But that may not be good news for the United fans who imagined that things could not get any worse than the dire 1-1 Europa League draw with FC Twente in midweek.

At the moment, it seems they always can. Ten-man United lacked intensity, imagination or any semblance of goal threat against a Tottenham team that had all three and should have won by a wider margin.
