The Red Devils crashed out of the Carabao Cup on Wednesday after a 3-0 defeat at home to a rotated Newcastle side, with the pressure continuing to build on their Dutch boss.<\/p>\n<p>United have lost five of their 10 Premier League games this season so far and currently sit in eighth place, while are also third in their Champions League group after defeats to Bayern Munich and Galatasaray. Ten Hag has so far failed to bring his Ajax-style attractive brand of football to Old Trafford and continued poor performances and results have led to more questions posed over his future.<\/p>\n<p>Club icon Gary Neville has even hinted that Ten Hag is headed towards being sacked in his rant on social media, but ESPN have claimed that club chiefs are standing by the Dutchman for now. They are said to be desperate to stick with Ten Hag, but will know that the current situation cannot continue much longer.<\/p>\n<p>United have endured their worst league start through 10 games since 1986 and taunts of \u201cyou&#8217;re getting sacked in the morning\u201d have become commonplace, with the travelling Newcastle supporters the latest group of fans to taunt Ten Hag.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Click here to join our WhatsApp community to be the first to receive breaking and exclusive Man Utd news.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p> <strong> JUST IN: <\/strong> <strong>Liverpool boss Klopp reaction to Man Utd defeat vs Newcastle speaks volumes[SPOTTED] <\/strong><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.images.express.co.uk\/img\/dynamic\/67\/590x\/secondary\/Man-Utd-Ten-Hag-sack-5045147.jpg?r=1698918599746\"><\/p>\n<p>The boss will be firmly aware that he is fighting for his future, after taking responsibility for the defeat to Eddie Howe\u2019s side and apologising to the fans. \u201cIt was not good enough,\u201d he admitted.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe have to take responsibility for it.
