Today's exclusive column focusing on Erik ten Hag's position at Man Utd.

The latest on Erik ten Hag’s future at Manchester United

Despite a difficult start to the season, Manchester United’s position on Erik ten Hag remains very clear - they are backing and supporting their manager. The intention from Man United is to continue with Ten Hag for the present and future, protecting their manager and supporting his ideas.

So for now, Man United are absolutely not considering any other candidates for the job - there is no manager search and no discussions about candidates at all. Clearly, things have not been up to United’s high standards and expectations on the pitch so far this season, but injuries have played a big part, and so they are not blaming the manager.

It’s crucial for United to get back to winning important games in the next weeks, but the position of the club is very clear, with the owners, the directors, and the board - they trust Erik ten Hag, they are not speaking to any other candidates or discussing any other candidates for the job.
