Under-pressure Ten Hag returns to Man Utd training

Manchester United decided to stick with Erik ten Hag in June following their FA Cup victory over Manchester City

Manager Erik ten Hag returned to Manchester United's training ground on Monday to prepare for Saturday's Premier League game against Brentford at Old Trafford.

The Dutchman was under intense pressure heading into the international break.

Although he followed a 3-0 home defeat by Tottenham with away draws against FC Porto and Aston Villa, there was huge speculation about his future and United held a monthly board meeting in central London last Tuesday.

The meeting, which included co-owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe, lasted around six hours but the outcome of what was said was never revealed.

Club officials are not happy at the side's current position of 14th in the league table and Ten Hag faces a critical few games as he looks to reverse current form, which has seen his side go five games without a win.

After the Brentford game, United travel to Istanbul for a Europa League meeting with Fenerbahce, currently managed by former United boss Jose Mourinho, before a league trip to West Ham.
