On September 30, Manchester United suffered a 0-3 defeat at home to Tottenham Hotspur. After the game, Ten Hag, attending the press conference, stated that he is not worried about being fired.
In this match, Bruno Fernandes was sent off with a red card in the first half, and the 0-3 result further intensified the crisis surrounding Ten Hag’s position. When asked whether he was concerned that the Manchester United owners might consider replacing the manager, Ten Hag said, “I have not considered this. After a clear evaluation in the summer, we decided what improvements were needed and how we wanted to build a team, but we knew it would take some time.”
“We need some time, and we are all in the same boat—the owners, staff, and players as well. I am not worried about this point.”
In addition, Ten Hag also expressed regret over conceding a goal early in the game: “But when you concede such a goal again, obviously, it should not happen, especially when we so loudly and clearly pointed out this issue. This will be a new day, and obviously, you must learn as a team. It cannot happen twice within four days that a defender dribbles through the entire team; in football, you cannot make such mistakes.”
