Erik ten Hag secured support from Manchester United’s leadership after leading the team to an unexpected FA Cup final win over Manchester City last season.
However, a disappointing start to the current campaign has placed the Dutch manager under significant scrutiny once more.

It’s well-known that United’s executives engaged with several prominent managers at the beginning of the summer.
Names like Graham Potter, Gareth Southgate, and Thomas Tuchel were considered before the decision was made to continue with Ten Hag.
The recent 3-0 defeat at home against Tottenham in the Premier League has intensified demands for Ten Hag’s dismissal.
Reports now suggest that the 54-year-old has just two games to turn things around.
The first challenge is an away match against Porto in the Europa League on Thursday night, followed by a challenging trip to Aston Villa in the Premier League three days later.
According to Italian outlet La Gazzetta dello Sport, the Red Devils are looking at Simone Inzaghi as a possible interim replacement. Club officials are exploring the market for potential successors to Ten Hag.

Meanwhile, the same report also claims that football legend Sir Alex Ferguson has recommended Massimiliano Allegri as his preferred choice to take over at Old Trafford.
Allegri, 57, is currently without a club after being let go by Juventus following a heated touchline confrontation with the club’s sporting director, Cristiano Giuntoli, in May.
The report also mentions that former Chelsea, PSG, and Bayern Munich manager Thomas Tuchel is Allegri’s main competitor for the United job in the long term.
In July, Allegri’s agent, Giovanni Branchini, stated that the passionate former Juventus coach is willing to wait for the right opportunity.
“Allegri is looking for an interesting project to coach with his characteristics, his beliefs that are clear to everyone,” Branchini told Italian outlet Calciomercato.
“I think he has shown something in these years that he loves the job and is willing to wait for an important project.”
Branchini also criticized those who have been vocal against Allegri following his exit from Turin.
“Many people have made a name for themselves criticising Allegri,” he added.
“There are people of average calibre who have found fame in insulting and criticising him that perhaps they wouldn’t have found otherwise.”
