Erik ten Hag has pleaded for patience at Manchester United because of the club’s reliance on younger players due to financial restrictions.

Ten Hag is in the firing line against Tottenham today having won only three games out of seven - against Fulham, Southampton and League One Barnsley.

However, the Dutchman insists his plan needs time with United no longer in the market for established stars like Casemiro and Raphael Varane.

The club posted a loss of £113.2million for 2023/24 this month – their fifth consecutive deficit – to highlight the difficulty of meeting Premier League and UEFA rules.
