Manchester United: Ten Hag retains club backing despite mounting pressure

Manchester United have endured a poor start to the season, losing six out of their first 10 games and there are starting to be whispers surrounding Ten Hag's future. 

However, according to the Guardian, the Manchester United manager is safe, for the time being. 

United are currently sitting on 9 points from a possible 21, leaving them nine points off the top and seven points from fourth place.

According to the report, there is an acknowledgement among the club's heirarchy that the circumstances have been less than favourable for Ten Hag, with injuries playing a major role.

In the absence of three injured left-backs – Luke Shaw, Tyrell Malacia and Sergio Reguilón – Ten Hag has played the midfielder Sofyan Amrabat in the position in the past three matches.

There is still a belief that the team will start to show considerable improvement as players regain full fitness.
