The Man Utd hierarchy want to make a "statement" by sacking Erik ten Hag following their 3-0 loss to Tottenham, according to ex-Red Devils chief scout.

Erik ten Hag is under intense pressure as Manchester United's bad start to the season continued with a home defeat to Tottenham Hotspur.

Tottenham piled more pressure on Erik ten Hag's position as Manchester United manager with a dominant 3-0 win at Old Trafford on Sunday.

Gary Neville has ripped into Manchester United for their first-half display against Tottenham which saw Bruno Fernandes shown a straight red for a high challenge on James Maddison. Tottenham and United have endured slow starts to the league campaign with both starting the match in 10th and 11th respectively.

Gary Neville took aim at Marcus Rashford after Tottenham’s early opener against Manchester United, blasting the forward’s ‘rubbish’ play prior to the goal. The Red Devils – looking to get back to winning ways after a disappointing goalless draw at Crystal Palace last time out – went behind just three minutes into this afternoon’s contest and were booed off the field at half-time.
