The Dutchman has overseen a disastrous start to the campaign, that has seen the club lost six of their last ten matches.

The last of those defeats came in a 3-2 defeat against Galatasaray at Old Trafford on Tuesday night, when United twice led.

With zero points in the Champions League and just nine from seven matches in the Premier League, the pressure is mounting on Ten Hag.

But that pressure is external, with the Guardian reporting that the board fully back Ten Hag in the long-term.

The board sympathises with the severity of United’s injury list this term – which at one point saw United without 12 first-team players.

Sofyan Amrabat was twice exposed against Galatasaray, with the Moroccan being forced to play as a left-back in the absence of Luke Shaw, Sergio Reguilon and Tyrell Malacia.

Rasmus Hojlund arrived at the club with an injury, while Mason Mount was ruled out for a month on his second appearance in a United shirt.

Ten Hag has also had to deal with a number of off-field issues, including the Mason Greenwood saga, domestic abuse allegations aimed at Antony and Jadon Sancho refusing to apologise for claiming he was being victimised by the Dutchman.

United take on Brentford at Old Trafford before the international break, which Ten Hag is likely to welcome in order to get some players back from injury.
