Manchester United boss Erik ten Hag arrived at the club’s Carrington training base bright and early on Monday morning, hoping to put the weekend’s 3-0 defeat by Tottenham behind him.

The Dutchman is the bookmakers’ favourite to be the next Premier League manager to quit his position, having seen his United side collect only seven points from their first six games.

Ten Hag sported a sad expression as he was photographed driving into Carrington while it was still dark outside.

He was asked about his future after Sunday’s setback at Old Trafford. But he said, ‘No, I’m not thinking about it.

‘We all made the decision to stay together as an ownership and leadership group in the summer, and we also made the decision based on a thorough analysis of what we need to improve and how we want to build a team.

Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag came at work bright and early on Monday morning.

Ten Hag was seen driving into United’s Carrington training grounds when it was still dark.

The Dutchman has a lot of work to do after a dismal start to the season.

Ten Hag states he ‘doesn’t have that anxiety’ about his job safety.

Ten Hag was spotted at Old Trafford on Sunday following his team’s 3-0 loss to Tottenham.

On Sunday, striker Dominic Solanke (shown in the centre) scored Tottenham’s third and final goal.

However, United were substantially inferior to Tottenham, who should have been more than 1-0 up by the time Bruno Fernandes received a controversial red card in the 42nd minute for a foul on James Maddison.

Spurs maintained their dominance over United’s 11 men, with Dejan Kulusevski and Dominic Solanke joining Brennan Johnson on the scoresheet at Old Trafford.

Jamie Redknapp, speaking on Sky Sports on Sunday evening, labelled United’s latest performance as “the type of performance that gets the manager fired.”
