ERIK TEN HAG has received public backing from the two most senior Manchester United executives hired by Ineos this summer, as questions swirl again regarding the manager’s Old Trafford future.
United confirmed in June that Ten Hag would be retained after they considered several other candidates, but the team have three points from their first three games after losing against Brighton and Liverpool in consecutive matches.
The club’s chief executive, Omar Berrada, and the sporting director, Dan Ashworth, have thrown — support behind Ten Hag.
Berrada was asked before the 3-0 home defeat against Liverpool on Sunday whether the Dutchman would retain United’s backing should the club have a run of defeats.
He replied: “Do we still believe in Erik? Absolutely. We think Erik is the right coach for us and we’re fully backing him.” — theguardian.com
