Erik ten Hag‘s future at Old Trafford has been under scrutiny for quite some time. With a series of embarrassing results at both Old Trafford and away, the Dutchman went into the international break with a huge question mark over his future.

Although reports claim that INEOS have decided to put their trust on him for the time being, Erik ten Hag grilled the media for cooking up stories related to his future. Manchester United return to action on Saturday as they host Brentford. Prior to the game, Ten Hag made his emotions felt as he censured the media for the way they’ve treated him and his future at the club.

The noise is only coming from the media. Some of you have created stories, fairy tales, made noise and brought lies.

Ten Hag also stressed that he’s on the same page with United management, unlike what media portrays it to be. He argued that the players and management are convinced about the plan and that they’ll stick to it.

Ten Hag also expressed his confidence by claiming that success will soon follow at the club. United have endured one of the worst starts to a League season this campaign and only have 8 points from seven games.

Manchester United have had quite the fall from grace in recent seasons. At the moment, they are far from even thinking of a top four finish after picking up just two wins in their first seven games.

As the club prepares to take on Brentford at home, not many are convinced that they’ll claim a win, or even a draw. As Paul Pogba navigates his return from an 18-month ban for doping, the Frenchman revealed that he still thinks highly of the Red Devils.

United are still one of the biggest clubs in the world, that’s the truth. They need time to get back to the top like Arsenal.

United have been dealt a massive blow as midfield star Kobbie Mainoo has been sidelined with a muscle injury. The youngster suffered the injury against Aston Villa on October 6. The Red Devils have now confirmed that he will only be back in action after the international break in November, three weeks from now.
