Man United’s manager Ten Hag secures a crucial WIN

Victor Lindelof’s goal led Manchester United to a 1-0 victory over Luton in the Premier League, potentially quieting the ongoing speculation about Ten Hag’s future at the moment.

While not the most convincing performance, the win helped boost spirits at Old Trafford following a disappointing series of matches, including a recent 4-3 loss against Copenhagen in the Champions League. Despite nine losses in all competitions this season, United has won four of their last five league games, bringing them closer to the top four.

“We are in quite a good position. If you see all the trouble we had, we are in a very good position,” said Ten Hag.

Currently three points behind fourth-placed Liverpool, United’s win has brought them within reach of the top positions. The victory was crucial before the upcoming international break, especially with recent queries about Ten Hag’s position.

There’s no indication from United about Ten Hag’s job being in jeopardy, although their position at the bottom of their Champions League group has put their advancement in doubt. Additionally, their Premier League title challenge appears unlikely after five league defeats in the initial 11 games before the Luton win.

Striker Rasmus Hojlund, despite a successful run in Europe with five goals in four games, is yet to find the net in the Premier League, prompting concerns about the team’s finishing. Hojlund missed two prime opportunities to score against Luton, contributing to the manager’s frustration about the team’s profligacy.

Hojlund and Christian Eriksen sustained injuries during the game, and United’s medical staff will keep an eye on their conditions over the weekend.
