Erik ten Hag insists he has the backing of Manchester United’s decision-makers despite the team’s dismal performances this season.
United have had a torrid week after back-to-back defeats at Old Trafford to Bournemouth and Bayern Munich saw them lose ground in the race for the top four and knocked out of Europe entirely.
Ten Hag takes his injury-ravaged side to Liverpool on Sunday – live on Sky Sports – hoping to avoid a repeat of last season’s 7-0 humiliation, with reports suggesting another annihilation could have repercussions for his future.
Asked if he has support inside the club, Ten Hag said: “I feel that. They tell me. That’s fine and that is OK. I am focusing on the process, I am focusing on making this team play better and making the individuals play better.
“That is my concern and what I am focusing on. No [I can’t get distracted about talk of me losing my job]. That is of no concern.
