Man Utd are in crisis | Football Digest<\/h3>\n

Manchester United head coach Erik ten Hag has held crunch talks with chief executive Richard Arnold as the under-fire boss remains defiant that he can turn things around at Old Trafford. The Dutchman is facing increasing scrutiny following their 3-0 loss at the hands of Newcastle United on Wednesday, sending the holders out of the Carabao Cup, while their Premier League and Champions League hopes also look just as bleak only a third of the way into the season.<\/p>\n

On Thursday, the Dutchman sat down for a meeting with the club’s chief executive to discuss the Red Devils’ recent poor run of results, with little sign of performances and results improving. Reports of unrest from dressing room leaks has fuelled suggestions the players are unhappy with Ten Hag’s treatment of them.<\/p>\n

During their conversation, which has been described as ‘cordial’ by insiders, Ten Hag attempted to convince Arnold he can still salvage their season and turn their form around, according to the Daily Star.<\/p>\n

The former Ajax boss will feel he has earned the right for some patience after his United reign began with two worrying defeats in 2022, before the team rallied and finished the season in third place.<\/p>\n

Issues away from the pitch have caused an unwanted distraction this year, however. Antony was forced to take a leave of absence as the Brazilian faces allegations of domestic abuse, which he has denied. In addition, there is no signs of an end to his public fallout with Jadon Sancho, as the England winger remains exiled from the United squad.<\/p>\n

Arnold is said to be ‘aware’ of the circumstances Ten Hag has worked with in his 17-month spell in charge and this has been factored into his assessment of the 53-year-old’s tenure. Indeed, the CEO is prepared to bide his time and allow Ten Hag the chance to right the ship, with fixtures against Fulham, Copenhagen and Luton Town providing an opportunity for victories to boost morale.<\/p>\n

But reports of growing unrest now in the stands – with fans beginning to turn against the under-fire boss – may well force the United chief into making a decision on his future if the situation does not improve.<\/p>\n
