Fairytales and lies Ten Hag condemns job reports

Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag has accused the media of making up fairytales and lies about his future.

Ten Hag went into the international break under huge pressure after a run of five games without a win, which included the embarrassing 3-0 home defeat by Tottenham.

Former England midfielder Jamie Redknapp told Sky Sports after that Spurs loss that he felt Ten Hag was out of his depth.

With United 14th in the Premier League, many felt the 54-year-old would be dismissed during the international break, particularly as members of the Glazer family attended a pre-planned United board meeting with co-owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe and other members of the club's hierarchy in London last week.

However, Ten Hag remains in post and says journalists have deliberately ignored his post-match comments after the goalless draw at Aston Villa on 6 October, when he said we are on one page about the backing he was receiving at Old Trafford.

The noise is only coming from some of you, creating stories and fairytales and bringing lies, he said.

I know we are on one page at this club. I said this before the break. I told several journalists.
