Manchester United football director John Murtough insists under-fire boss Erik ten Hag has the club’s full support despite a dismal start to the season. Murtough has rubbished speculation of a rift behind-the-scenes at Old Trafford over Ten Hag’s performance as head coach. United are 10th in the Premier League having lost four of their eight games. A dramatic added-time brace by Scott McTominay saved a fifth reverse, ensuring a come-from-behind win against Brentford. But despite murmurs of discontent, Murtough’s claim that the United hierarchy “believe” in Ten Hag speaks volumes of their confidence.
