Erik ten Hag: Beleaguered Manchester United manager hanging on his job after Tottenham thrashing
Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag’s future was cast in doubt following a 3-0 thrashing by Tottenham, handing United a third defeat in six league games.
Spurs had scored before the sending-off, courtesy of a Brennan Johnson strike in the third minute and after the red card, they scored twice more, both coming in the second half, from Dejan Kulusevski and Dominic Solanke, respectively.
What Fernandes said
Speaking after the match, he admitted to letting his team down and how poorly they played before the red card, but he praised his teammates for how they handled the handicapped following his expulsion.
“I want to say I left my team-mates one man down,” he said, per the BBC. “I appreciate everything they did on the pitch. We didn’t start the game well with 11 players and then they did very well.

"It was difficult to cover all of the spaces; there are many good things we can take away from this. I am proud of the team."
Speaking specifically about the red card, the Portugal international expressed his disagreement with the decision, and he claimed the victim of the rash challenge, Madisson, shared similar sentiments.
"Nobody wants to be sent off; it’s not a good feeling.”
"I didn't go with the studs; it’s never a red card. Even James Madison, when he gets up, he said it’s not a red card.
"If this is a red card, we have to look at many other incidents. It is a foul; there is not much contact; if he [the referee] wants to give me a yellow, I agree. I don’t understand why VAR doesn’t call him to the screen."
