Manchester United are expected to stick with manager Erik ten Hag ahead of facing Aston Villa.
Ten Hag has already insisted he’s “not thinking” about his future at Old Trafford, despite being under huge pressure in the wake of an embarrassing 3-0 defeat against Tottenham on Sunday that left the Red Devils down in 12th in the Premier League table after six matches.
Next up for Ten Hag and his players in the league is a trip to Villa Park on Sunday (2pm), with a match against Porto in the Europa League in midweek. And the BBC report sources at the club have told them it is business as usual at Old Trafford ahead of those matches.
Asked after the defeat to Spurs if he was worried his bosses might be having second thoughts, having decided to stick with him this summer, Ten Hag said: “No, I am not thinking about this. I think we all made together this decision to stay together, as an ownership, as a leadership group in the summer.
“Also we made the decision from a clear review what we have to improve as an organisation and how we want to construct a squad and all the decision-making is with togetherness.“
But we knew it will take some time, because of how the (transfer) window went, some players late in like (Manuel) Ugarte, also we have to make some improvement in the organisation, we still have to deal with some injuries, also from some impact players.“I think we will get better there.
We need some time. We are all on one page or in one boat together, the ownership, the leadership group, the staff and the players group as well. I don’t have that concern.”
