It is finally feeling like the endgame for Erik ten Hag. Out-fought, out-thought, out-run, out-played and, maybe, out of here. Manchester United were humiliated at home by Tottenham Hotspur and once more the manager is under severe pressure.

Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag says his team still needs more time to come together following Sunday’s 3-0 home defeat by Tottenham Hotspur. United were second-best throughout the contest at Old Trafford and the situation was only made worse when captain Bruno Fernandes was shown a red card shortly before half-time with the score at 1-0.

Manchester United reached another low in the young 2024/25 Premier League campaign on Saturday. Erik ten Hag’s team lost 3-0 against Tottenham at Old Trafford, a performance marred by a red card but in truth lacked the organization and identity to instill any confidence in the first half, or indeed in the project as a whole.
