Manchester United suffered a 0-3 defeat to Tottenham Hotspur, but Erik ten Hag remained optimistic.

Manchester United were defeated by Spurs 0-3. An extremely disappointing result for Red Devils fans.

The score was bad, but Man United’s performance was even worse.

They fell behind after just 3 minutes. The Red Devils also let Tottenham Hotspur have 61% of the ball, and conceded 24 shots.

Only the brilliance of goalkeeper Andre Onana prevented a bigger defeat.

This was of course an undesirable result for the entire team and fans. It also shows that this season of Manchester United could be worse than last season.

However, head coach Erik ten Hag is still quite optimistic. Sharing with the media after the match last night, the Dutch coach said:

“No I am not thinking about this,” Erik ten Hag told a press conference after the Tottenham defeat when asked whether he is worried about his future at Man United.

“We all made this decision to stay together in summer, as ownership group, leadership group.

“Also we made the decision, after a clear review, what we have to improve as an organisation + how to construct a squad.

“All decisions made in togetherness, also knowing it would take some time. We are all there on one page, one boat, the ownership, the leadership group, the staff, players too.”

Man United courted other managers in the summer before coming full circle and giving Ten Hag a contract extension. Whether the team’s composition will compel the owners and directors to reconsider is yet to be determined.
