Manchester United boss Erik ten Hag has opened up on his future, amid increasing speculation surrounding his job.
Ten Hag and United have endured a difficult start to the season, losing three of their first six Premier League games, while they also failed to beat FC Twente in their opening Europa League match.
Sunday’s 3-0 defeat by Tottenham was seen by many as a nadir in Ten Hag’s tenure after a dismal display, with reports claiming the Dutchman has just two games to save his job.
However, speaking to Sky Sports, Ten Hag was resolute in his belief that he will get things right at Old Trafford, while he also claimed his job wasn’t at risk despite United’s struggles.
‘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.’
There was significant speculation over Ten Hag’s future in the summer after a difficult 2023-24 campaign before the INEOS-led footballing structure decided to stick with him.
He was then backed with reinforcements in the transfer market and also within his coaching staff, but the Dutchman is again under huge pressure.
