UNITED TO STICK WITH TEN HAG AS MANAGER FACES A PIVOTAL WEEK

The pressure is building on the 54-year-old after a humiliating 3-0 defeat to Tottenham at Old Trafford on Sunday left United languishing in 12th in the Premier League.

They have won just three of nine competitive fixtures this season.

Ten Hag arrived at Carrington at 7.30am yesterday and he is set to remain in charge for the Europa League trip to Porto on Thursday and the Premier League fixture at Aston Villa on Sunday.

Those are the final two fixtures before the October international break and they could be crucial in deciding Ten Hag's fate. United have lost their last two home Premier League games 3-0 and have now conceded three goals in eight of their past 28 Old Trafford fixtures.

They have won just 27 of 61 games in all competitions since the start of last season and are winless in three ahead of the trip to Portugal. United will train at Carrington this week before flying to Portugal on Wednesday afternoon.
