Following Manchester United’s 3-0 loss to Tottenham, manager Erik ten Hag has spoken candidly about his future.
Three of Ten Hag and United’s first six Premier League games have ended in defeat. Additionally, they lost their opening Europa League game against FC Twente.
Spurs’ 3-0 victory on Sunday heightened rumours about his dismissal, with some sources stating the Dutchman has just two games left to keep his job.
Speaking to Sky Sports, Ten Hag gave his word that he will address the situation at Old Trafford and insisted that his position was safe despite United’s difficulties.
‘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 insisted that he is unfazed by the fall-out from Sunday’s defeat by Spurs.
‘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.
