Erik ten Hag suffers defeat AGAIN as Manchester United boss takes charge of former club for testimonial match, one week after brutal loss to rivals Liverpool

Despite no Premier League action during the international break, embattled Manchester United boss Erik ten Hag still couldn't escape a defeat.

Ten Hag returned to his native Holland where he took the reins of his former club FC Utrecht in a testimonial fixture.

The event was a celebration for Utrecht club legend Mark van der Maarel, who enjoyed a 15-year stint at the club before retiring at the end of last season.

In fact, Utrecht was the only club Van der Maarel ever played for, registering nearly 400 appearances for them from 2009 to 2024.
