Despite a tense atmosphere at Old Trafford, Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag has not received any formal communication from INEOS regarding his future, as revealed by journalist Fabrizio Romano. Following a recent board meeting, it appears that Ten Hag has avoided immediate dismissal, with no indications suggesting that his position is under threat.
Romano reported that Ten Hag remains composed amid the uncertainty, focusing on preparations for the Premier League restart, where Brentford will visit Old Trafford on October 19. After entering the October international break with a disappointing three-game goalless streak in the league, Ten Hag is now expected to be given another set of fixtures to attempt to turn the season around.
Romano stated on his YouTube channel, “I can guarantee that at the moment, Erik ten Hag has not received any communication from INEOS about his future. So Ten Hag remains very calm, preparing for the future games, the first one with Brentford.” He emphasized that Ten Hag is not concerned with anything beyond preparing for the next match and noted that discussions about his future are ongoing within the club.
Despite the pressure surrounding him, Ten Hag has remained focused, insisting he is “not thinking about the sack” despite Manchester United’s worst start to a top-flight campaign in 35 years. The team has managed to secure just eight points from their first seven Premier League matches, leaving them sitting in 14th place and already six points adrift of the top four. Their offensive struggles are evident, as they have scored only five goals, the second-lowest in the league.
Injury Update on Leny Yoro
In other news, Manchester United defender Leny Yoro has provided a promising injury update, sharing a video of himself running on a treadmill on social media with the caption “on the way back.” The 18-year-old, who was United’s most expensive signing of the summer at an initial £52.2 million, has been sidelined since suffering an ankle injury during a pre-season match against Arsenal. His return could provide a much-needed boost to the squad as they seek to improve their fortunes this season.
As the situation continues to unfold, all eyes will be on Ten Hag and the club’s management to see how they navigate this challenging period.
It seems Erik ten Hag’s position at Manchester United remains secure for the time being, despite growing pressure due to the team’s poor start to the season. According to Fabrizio Romano, Ten Hag has not received any formal communication from INEOS, the company set to take partial control of the club, regarding his future. The manager remains focused on preparing for the upcoming fixtures, starting with Brentford on October 19.
Although Manchester United has struggled offensively, scoring just five goals in seven matches and finding themselves in 14th place, Ten Hag appears confident and calm in his approach. He is reportedly determined to use the upcoming matches to turn the season around, despite the club’s worst start in 35 years.
Additionally, there’s positive news regarding Leny Yoro, United’s summer signing. Yoro shared an encouraging update on his recovery from an ankle injury, signaling that he could soon return to action, which would bolster United’s defensive options.
The next set of fixtures will likely be crucial in determining Ten Hag’s future at the club, as both fans and management expect improvements in results and performances.
