Manchester United is facing a tough start to the season with only two wins and a draw so far, putting them in 11th place. However, the recent back-to-back wins against Crystal Palace and Twente show signs of improvement for Ten Hag’s team. The upcoming match against Tottenham Hotspur on Super Sunday will be a crucial test for the Red Devils.
Amidst the upcoming fixtures for Manchester United, Erik ten Hag finds himself in a challenging position, acknowledging the pressure that comes with the job. “Yeah, first of all, respect the criticism,” Ten Hag emphasized, highlighting the need to stay focused and methodical in guiding the team towards improvement. With matches against FC Porto in the Europa League and Aston Villa in the Premier League on the horizon, it’s indeed a demanding week ahead for United.
Both Manchester United and their manager, Erik ten Hag, are undoubtedly feeling the pressure to secure wins, as a draw won’t suffice, especially with strong competition from Liverpool, Manchester City, Arsenal, and Chelsea. The significant investments made by the Red Devils since Ten Hag took the helm in July 2022, totaling around £560m, reflect the high expectations placed on the team. Despite previous successes in winning the Carabao Cup and FA Cup, more is anticipated from Ten Hag this season as he navigates the challenges ahead.
