We back Erik! Man United chiefs still have faith in Ten Hag despite thumping defeat by Liverpool and sluggish start to the new season

Erik ten Hag has the full backing of his Manchester United bosses despite Sunday's embarrassing collapse against Liverpool at Old Trafford.

United's 3-0 defeat raised fresh doubts over Ten Hag after he narrowly avoided the axe this summer and signed a one-year contract extension.

But chief executive Omar Berrada and sporting director Dan Ashworth, who both started work at the club in July, remain firmly behind the Dutchman.

Berrada said: 'Erik has our full backing and we have worked very closely together in this transfer window. We're going to continue working very closely with him to help him get the best results out of the team.
