Manchester United Leadership Backs Erik ten Hag

Manchester United's CEO Omar Berrada and sporting director Dan Ashworth have publicly affirmed their support for manager Erik ten Hag amidst a challenging start to the season, including a disappointing 3-0 defeat to Liverpool. Both executives distanced themselves from the decision to extend Ten Hag's contract, which was made before their appointments, emphasizing that it would take more than a couple of bad results to shake their belief in him. Despite earlier optimism following significant summer signings, the team's performance has cast doubts over their progress under Ten Hag. Berrada reiterated that Ten Hag is the right coach for the club, while Ashworth expressed enthusiasm for supporting him operationally and strategically. The executives highlighted their commitment to working closely with Ten Hag to achieve success, even as fan discontent grows over recent results.
