Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag expressed unity with the club's leadership following a 0-0 draw against Aston Villa in the Premier League. However, the team's recent performance has raised questions about his future at the club. United is currently on a five-match winless streak and sits in 14th place in the league after winning only two of their first seven games this season.
Ten Hag arrived at Villa Park under pressure, with uncertainty surrounding his position, especially after the club's minority owner did not explicitly express confidence in him. Despite the draw at Villa, the manager's future remains uncertain as United's leadership evaluates the team's performance before their next game.
United's match against Villa saw Bruno Fernandes hitting the crossbar with a free kick, coming closest to scoring. While Villa dominated most of the game, United's solid defense earned them a point, following a 3-3 draw against Porto in the Europa League.
Meanwhile, Tottenham suffered a collapse against Brighton, losing 3-2 after leading 2-0 at halftime. Brighton's Yankuba Minteh, Georginio Rutter, and Danny Welbeck scored to secure the win, moving them above Tottenham in the league standings.
Chelsea, on the other hand, was held to a 1-1 draw by Nottingham Forest, with Noni Madueke equalizing in the 57th minute. Forest took the lead through Chris Wood but had to play with 10 men after a sending-off. The game ended in a melee, resulting in bookings for several players, including Chelsea's Marc Cucurella and Wesley Fofana, who will miss their next match due to accumulated yellow cards.
