Previously, The Times revealed that Man Utd had contacted some names such as Ruben Amorim and Zinedine Zidane for the head coach position. However, the leadership of the Old Trafford team still kept faith in coach Erik ten Hag.

The Dutchman has signed a three-year contract with Man Utd. In his first season, he helped the Red Devils win the English League Cup and return to the UEFA Champions League thanks to a third-place finish in the Premier League.

Man Utd's board still has faith in coach Erik ten Hag.

This season, Man Utd have shown a weak face. The defeat to Newcastle in the English League Cup on November 2 was their 8th defeat in 15 matches in all competitions since the beginning of the season. In the past 60 years, the team at Old Trafford has never had such a poor performance.

Man Utd have suffered 15 defeats in their last 50 games. They have lost three more, scored 12 fewer goals and conceded twice as many as in the last 50 games under manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.

The patience of the Man Utd board may change if the team does not improve their performance in the next three matches, before the break. Man Utd play Fulham, Luton Town in the Premier League, with a match against Copenhagen in the UEFA Champions League in between.

" I understand the doubts when the team does not have good results. However, I believe I can do it. At the moment, we are in a bad situation and I take responsibility. I am a warrior and take it as a challenge ," ten Hag shared.

Man Utd will visit Craven Cottage to face Fulham this Saturday. Manager Erik ten Hag confirmed that Casemiro will not play due to injury. Raphael Varane is doubtful. However, the Red Devils welcome back Aaron Wan-Bissaka.
