Does the Dutch manager still have the support of the Red Devils dressing room?
Despite a turbulent start to the season, Erik ten Hag reportedly retains the backing of Manchester United 's senior players, as per the Telegraph.
However, with growing pressure and crucial matches looming, the Dutch manager's position is far from secure.

Why is Ten Hag under pressure at Man Utd?
After a disappointing 2023-24 season culminating in an FA Cup triumph, expectations were high for Ten Hag to perform better than last term’s eighth place, particularly after their expensive summer recruitment.
However, a string of poor results, including a demoralising 3-0 defeat to Tottenham Hotspur, has left the Red Devils languishing in 13th place in the Premier League.

'Ten Hag doesn't have a plan' - Man United legend Rio Ferdinand slams Red Devils boss
Manchester United legend Rio Ferdinand has slammed the Red Devils boss Erik ten Hag after recent performances.
While some reports suggest Ten Hag's dismissal is being discussed within the dressing room, the majority of senior players remain supportive, believing he can turn the tide.
Nevertheless, the upcoming matches against Porto in the Europa League and Aston Villa in the Premier League are crucial for the United head coach's future.
What next for Ten Hag?
)
The next few days could be decisive for the Dutchman’s tenure at Old Trafford. Positive results against Porto and Villa would ease the pressure and buy him more time.
However, further setbacks could force the club's hierarchy to make a change before the international break.
Should Ten Hag be dismissed, assistant head coach Ruud van Nistelrooy is tipped to take over as interim boss while the club searches for a long-term replacement.
