Man United’s start to season no cause for panic – Erik ten Hag

The draw at Aston Villa means Ten Hag's side are now five games without a win

Manchester United head coach Erik ten Hag has said his team’s start to the season is no cause for panic despite only winning two of their opening six Premier League games.

Ten Hag, whose contract was extended in the summer despite United’s ownership sounding out potential replacements, is facing growing scrutiny as his team sit 13th in the table after their 3-0 home drubbing by Tottenham Hotspur last Sunday.

“We are going to make a success from the season,” Ten Hag said in an interview with Sky Sports.

“Nothing is easy, but this is nothing for me to panic about,” he added. “We can sort [the problems] out, this team can sort this out.”

The Dutch coach maintained that he has no worries over his job security despite the Spurs loss and a similar home reverse against Liverpool provoking reports that his job is on the line in this week’s Europa League contest with Porto and Sunday’s league game with Aston Villa.

“I’m not thinking about it, I’m not anxious,” he said. “We created a togetherness in the summer with the ownership and the leadership.

“We made this agreement, and we were all behind it. We know the strategy [is to bring in] young players in a transition period.
