'We are together' - Erik ten Hag shrugs off sack talk after seeing dismal Man Utd demolished by Tottenham & insists INEOS are 'on the same page'

Tottenham completely outplayed a ten-man United side as they registered a comfortable 3-0 win over the hosts on Sunday in the Premier League. Brennan Johnson handed an early lead to his side before Bruno Fernandes was sent off, and Dejan Kulusevski and Dominic Solanke added to Spurs' tally in the second half.

The Red Devils fans were understandably disappointed after yet another dismal outing in the 2023-24 season as several of them vented their frustration on social media against the manager and called for the Dutchman's immediate sacking.

The 54-year-old manager, however, insisted that the club owners INEOS group are still behind him, while refuting claims he is close to being sacked.

When quizzed on his future, the ex-Ajax boss told reporters: "We all made togetherness in this decision to stay together, as an ownership, a leadership group in the summer. Also, we made the decision from a clear review what we have to improve and how we want to construct a squad, but we knew it will take some time. We are all there on the same page, in the same boat - myself, the players, the leadership. We are together."

United will be back in action on Thursday night as they take on FC Porto in a Europa League encounter. The Manchester club, who are now winless in their last three matches across all competitions, will then turn their attention to a must-win Premier League game away at Aston Villa.
