Erik ten Hag, the manager of Manchester United, faced another defeat while managing his former club FC Utrecht in a testimonial match honoring veteran defender Mark van der Maarel. Despite leading a team of former Utrecht players, Ten Hag's side lost 2-1 to the current Utrecht team, with Van der Maarel scoring a late consolation goal. This loss follows two disappointing Premier League defeats for Manchester United against Brighton and Liverpool, raising concerns about Ten Hag's future at Old Trafford. United's CEO and sporting director expressed their support for Ten Hag, emphasizing their belief in him as the right coach despite the team's struggles. With upcoming matches against Southampton and Crystal Palace, Ten Hag is under pressure to improve the team's performance and secure positive results. The mounting scrutiny from fans and pundits continues as United seeks to turn around their season.
