Erik ten Hag is fighting to keep the Manchester United dressing room on his side after suffering a 10th defeat of the season, according to reports. United lost 1-0 against Newcastle United on Saturday, but the visitors’ lacklustre performance at St James’ Park fuelled more concern than the scoreline.<\/p>\n
Ten Hag enjoyed a joyous maiden campaign, ending the club’s six-year trophy drought with the Carabao Cup and finishing third in the Premier League, securing a Champions League return.<\/p>\n
United lost just twice at Old Trafford and started a 31-game unbeaten home run that extended into this term.<\/p>\n
More recently, Ten Hag equalled Ernest Mangnall’s 118-year record by taking just 79 games to win his first 50 as Red Devils boss.<\/p>\n
However, the bigger picture can’t always override the reality of this season. And the reality is that United have looked like a team already anticipating a fifth failed manager since Sir Alex Ferguson.<\/p>\n
United are seventh in the Premier League, nine points behind leaders Arsenal, and rock bottom of their Champions League group with one game remaining.<\/p>\n
They won’t even drop into the Europa League with defeat against Bayern Munich – unbeaten in 39 group-stage games – at Old Trafford.<\/p>\n
