Manchester United are reportedly planning to carry on as usual despite increasing pressure on Erik ten Hag’s position following Sunday’s defeat to Tottenham Hotspur.
Manchester United are reportedly expected to stick with head coach Erik ten Hag ahead of the October international break.
The 54-year-old is under pressure from supporters of the Red Devils after his side lost 3-0 to Tottenham Hotspur in the Premier League on Sunday afternoon.
Man United were by far second best in the contest, with goals from Brennan Johnson, Dejan Kulusevski and Dominic Solanke securing a win for the visitors.
The Red Devils were certainly not helped by the dismissal of captain Bruno Fernandes in the closing stages of the first half due to a challenge on James Maddison.
United battled on throughout the second period with little hope of mounting a comeback, especially considering their numerical disadvantage.

Man United’s crucial week
After a sobering loss to Spurs on the weekend, Ten Hag is scheduled to take his troops to Portugal on Thursday night, when Porto will be hoping to put the final nail in the coffin of the Dutch coach.
United are already playing catch up on the continent following a poor showing during gameweek one of the competition, with the Red Devils drawing 1-1 at home to FC Twente.
Should Ten Hag survive the trip to Portugal, he will take charge of Man United in the Second City against Aston Villa in the Premier League on Sunday afternoon.
The Champions League-competing Villans have enjoyed a positive start to the domestic term, losing just one of their opening six top-flight battles.
