Erik ten Hag responds as Man United boss asked about having two games to save his job

Erik ten Hag claims he is in constant talks with the Manchester United board and is not nervous, despite calls growing for him to be sacked.

Following a damning 3-0 defeat to Tottenham Hotspur on Sunday - that included a now-rescinded Bruno Fernandes red card - the Dutchman has been under extreme fire from fans and pundits alike as the club struggle for form this season.

The once-dominant force in English football have just two wins from six matches, drawing away to Crystal Palace and losing to Brighton, arch-rivals Liverpool and, most recently, Spurs.

The United boss spoke to Sky Sports about his mindset following this run of bad form and claims he is not "anxious" if the games against Porto and Aston Villa don't go well this week.

He said: "I'm not thinking about it. I'm not anxious as well, and we are in here together, we made [plans] in the summer, togetherness, the ownership, the leadership, this agreement, and we are all behind it.

"We knew, also, what the strategy was with young players in the transition period and we know then also in which process they can come, this can happen but they also know in the end when we are in May, all my last six seasons, there were trophies and that is why we are also now aiming for."

Ten Hag has been under scrutiny before at United, after bad runs of form both domestically and in Europe – but many believe this could be the final straw for new co-owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe.
