After a disappointing loss to Liverpool, Manchester United's manager, Erik ten Hag, received a vote of confidence from the club's executives, Dan Ashworth and Omar Berrada. Despite a rough start to the season, the duo remains fully supportive of Ten Hag, who was able to hold onto his position thanks to a surprise FA Cup win over Manchester City last season.
Although the team finished in eighth place in the Premier League, Ten Hag's job was safe over the summer as the new appointments of Ashworth and Berrada were brought in by Sir Jim Ratcliffe to revamp the club's footballing structure. While they weren't involved in the decision to keep Ten Hag, both executives were quick to reiterate their support for the current boss, despite the team's recent struggles.
In an interview before the Liverpool match, CEO Berrada stated, "That decision was made before either of our arrivals, but we are very happy with it. Erik has our full backing and we have been working closely with him during this transfer window. We will continue to support him in order to achieve the best results for the team."
Ashworth, who left his previous position as sporting director at Newcastle United to join Manchester United, also expressed his confidence in Ten Hag, saying, "I have thoroughly enjoyed working with Erik for the past eight weeks. My role is to support him in any way I can, whether it's operationally, with recruitment, medical support, psychology, or training ground logistics. My goal is to take as much off his plate as possible so he can focus solely on the team's success."
With both executives fully backing Ten Hag, the manager can continue to lead the team without the added pressure of speculation about his job security. This comes as a relief to fans, who can now focus on supporting their team without worrying about any potential changes in leadership.
