Tottenham: Decision on Erik ten Hag's coaching position

"I don't think Tottenham coach Ange Postecoglou is under pressure. In my opinion, MU coach Erik ten Hag is the one under the most pressure. It's true that both Tottenham and MU have not achieved the expected results after the first 5 rounds of the season, but MU is the weaker team compared to Tottenham's somewhat bright playing style. With another loss at Old Trafford, I think Erik ten Hag's coaching chair will collapse," former England player Paul Merson commented on Sky Sports before the match.

Will coach Erik ten Hag keep his seat after the match against Tottenham?

MU and Tottenham both have 7 points after 5 rounds of the Premier League, with 2 wins, 1 draw and 2 losses. Spurs are temporarily ranked higher (10th place) thanks to a better goal difference than the "Red Devils": +4 compared to 0. The attack is MU's big problem, although they have many quality players, but their scoring efficiency is very poor. In addition to the 7-0 win over the English third-tier team Barnsley in the third round of the League Cup, in the remaining matches in important arenas such as the Premier League and the recent Europa League (1-1 draw with Twente), MU is in the top of the teams that have missed the most scoring opportunities in the top 5 European national championships.

"So what have MU done wrong so far?", the British press asked. Coach Erik ten Hag admitted: "We need to score more goals."

MU has their best squad, except for Leny Yoro, Lindelof and Luke Shaw who are still injured. Coach Erik ten Hag may bring midfielder Kobbie Mainoo back to the starting lineup, after new signing Manuel Ugarte has not performed as expected. The same goes for Garnacho, while Rashford and Amad Diallo are not sure if they can take their official positions. For Tottenham, the only worry is that captain Son Heung-min has a slight injury, waiting for a last-minute check on his ability to play.

In addition to the big match between MU and Tottenham, the remaining match of round 6 of the Premier League will be between Ipswich and Aston Villa at 8pm on September 29. The latest match between Bournemouth and Southampton will be at 2am on October 1.
