The upcoming matches against Porto in the Europa League and Aston Villa in the Premier League are seen as crucial, with his job potentially hinging on the results.

The brutal loss to Spurs, along with a similar 3-0 defeat to Liverpool earlier this season, has piled pressure on Ten Hag. However, he remains unfazed, expressing confidence in his role and the unity of the club’s leadership.

On paper, the club maintains a front of standing behind the manager, however in football, such stance are often political. Hence, it is dependent on Erik ten Hag turning things around as soon as possible.

Can he turn things around, or is this the beginning of the end for his tenure at Old Trafford?
