Erik ten Hag isn't worried about losing his job as Man Utd manager

Erik ten Hag isn't worried about losing his job as Man Utd manager

Erik ten Hag does not fear the sack at Manchester United.

The Red Devils slumped to a dismal 3-0 home loss against Tottenham in the Premier League on Sunday (29.09.24) but the coach stressed that he and the club's hierarchy are "all on one page" following the decision to grant him a contract extension in the summer.

Ten Hag said: "I am not thinking about this.

"We all made the decision to stay together as ownership and a leadership group in the summer.

"We made the decision from after a clear review what we have to improve as an organisation and how we want to construct a squad.

"We knew it will take some time, because of how the [transfer] window went, some players late in like [Manuel] Ugarte, also we have to make some improvement in the organisation, we still have to deal with some injuries, also from some impact players.

"I think we will get better there. We need some time. We are all on one page or in one boat together, the ownership, the leadership group, the staff and the players' group as well. I don't have that concern."

United now face two difficult away games against Porto in the Europa League and Aston Villa in the Premier League next weekend and Ten Hag is confident that his side can "bounce back" from one of the worst defeats of his Old Trafford tenure.

He said: "Of course [we can bounce back]. There is always a new game, it will be a new day. It is obvious you have to learn as a team.

"It can't happen twice in four days a defender can dribble through the whole team twice. You can't make such mistakes in top football. But we will bounce back."
