Erik ten Hag has received support from former Manchester United manager David Moyes as speculation surrounding his future intensifies.
Manchester United has faced a challenging start to the new season, currently sitting 14th in the Premier League after seven matches and enduring a five-match winless streak across all competitions.
According to FourFourTwo, this series of disappointing results has prompted the club’s ownership to consider making changes.
INEOS and United’s leadership reportedly held an emergency meeting on Tuesday to discuss Ten Hag’s position at Old Trafford.
Amidst the uncertainty, Moyes has publicly expressed his backing for Ten Hag, praising the Dutch coach’s ability to persevere despite immense pressure and criticism from various sources.
Moyes’s endorsement highlights the resilience Ten Hag has shown during this turbulent period.
Speaking to BBC Sport, David Moyes said, “I think he has shown brilliant resilience in the situation he is in.
“I think he should be credited for how well he’s conducted himself.
“He as far as I know, I don’t see him ducking any questions or any media interviews which you people put forward to him.
“I think you have to give him great credit for that.
“But it is a job which is going to attract immense pressure, immense people talking.
“So I have to say, I think he is doing a brilliant job.”
It remains uncertain whether the 54-year-old former Ajax coach will stay in charge until the end of the October international break.
The club’s next Premier League fixture is against Brentford on October 19.
