The board of directors at Manchester United has finally taken a decision regarding Erik ten Hag’s future, as was previously indicated and is expected to be announced within the next twenty-four hours.

From the start, Erik ten Hag’s side struggled to find their rhythm and fell behind just three minutes into the game. Johnson took advantage of a precise cross from Micky van de Ven, slotting the ball in at the far post to give Tottenham an early lead.

Things got worse for United shortly before halftime when Bruno Fernandes was shown a straight red card, leaving them with a significant disadvantage. After the break, Kulusevski made it 2-0 for Tottenham, scoring from close range soon after the restart.

Though Manchester United began to improve as the match went on, they suffered another setback in the 77th minute when Tottenham struck again, sending a shot past goalkeeper Andre Onana and securing a 3-0 victory. The match ended with Manchester United fans voicing their frustration with boos at the final whistle.

Looking ahead, United will now focus on their Europa League clash with Porto on Thursday evening. Given recent performances, talks about Erik ten Hag’s future at the club have grown louder.

Former footballer Robbie Savage has suggested that Ten Hag’s time at Manchester United may be nearing its conclusion. Speaking on BBC Sport, he raised concerns about the team’s underwhelming season, which has seen them collect only seven points from their first six Premier League games. Savage commented, “I think his time might be up. They’ve got to make a big decision this week.”

Following Savage’s remarks, the Manchester Evening News shared similar views, hinting that the club had previously considered parting ways with Ten Hag.

The team’s ongoing poor results bring up the possibility of a managerial change, especially with the Porto match approaching.

It might be wise for United to take swift action, perhaps considering Ruud van Nistelrooy, who recently joined as Ten Hag’s assistant, to step in as interim manager during this transition.

In summary, the situation at Old Trafford is dire, and fans are hoping for swift action to reverse the club’s fortunes.
