On September 3rd, after a 0-3 defeat at home to Liverpool, Manchester United’s CEO Omar Bellarda expressed strong support for head coach Erik ten Hag, stating that he would continue to receive full backing from the club’s management.
In this season of the Premier League, Manchester United’s performance in the early stages has not been ideal, with only one win and two losses in the first three rounds. Particularly disappointing was the 0-3 loss at home to their fierce rivals Liverpool in the third round.
After the heavy defeat, the club’s CEO Bellarda voiced his support for head coach Ten Hag: “Ten Hag has our full support. We had close cooperation during the summer transfer window. Moving forward, we will continue to work closely with him to help him achieve good results. We still believe that Ten Hag is the right manager for Manchester United, and we will continue to fully support him.”
Following the heavy defeat to Liverpool, public opinion generally turned pessimistic about Ten Hag’s future at Manchester United. The senior management’s show of support will undoubtedly be a reassurance to him.
