Manchester United boss Erik ten Hag is under huge pressure, with club chiefs holding a seven-hour crisis meeting on Tuesday where his future was a major topic of discussion

A former Ballon d'Or winner has criticised Manchester United boss Erik ten Hag for overpaying for a player worth less than 25 percent of his transfer.

According to ESPN, Ten Hag is confident he will not be sacked at Tuesday’s executive meeting, but his job hangs in the balance after United’s woeful start to the new campaign. Thomas Tuchel, unemployed after leaving Bayern Munich last summer, is reportedly under consideration should the beleaguered Dutchman be dismissed.
