Manchester United have opted to give manager Erik ten Hag more time, despite growing calls for his dismissal. According to reports from the UK Telegraph, the Dutch manager is now under “intense scrutiny” following recent poor performances.

The pressure intensified after a 3-0 defeat to Tottenham Hotspur on Sunday, marking United’s failure to score in three of their last four Premier League matches, leaving them 12th in the table.

During his tenure, Ten Hag has secured both the Carabao Cup and FA Cup, but the club’s current form has raised concerns. United’s sporting director Dan Ashworth, chief executive Omar Berrada, technical director Jason Wilcox, and board member Sir Dave Brailsford were present at Old Trafford to witness the disappointing display against Spurs.

While the club’s leadership remains supportive of Ten Hag, no immediate changes are expected ahead of crucial Europa League and Premier League matches against Porto and Aston Villa this week. These upcoming games will lead into the next international break, a pivotal period for the club.
