Has Erik ten Hag lost the Manchester United dressing room?

Former Liverpool and Newcastle defender Jose Enrique has suggested that Erik ten Hag has lost the Manchester United dressing room.

The Red Devils have endured a difficult start to their domestic and continental campaigns this season.

They are sixth in the Premier League and at the bottom of their UEFA Champions League group.

Damaging defeats to Arsenal, Manchester City and Copenhagen have heaped more pressure on the Dutch manager.

Enrique told Grosvenor Sport, "I think he has lost the dressing room.  The players should still go out and perform regardless, but it's true that when you like the manager, you play better for them."

Enrique continued, "I actually think that the players would be happy if Ten Hag was sacked."

The former left-back doubled down on his assessment, finishing with, "I don’t think he has the backing of many players in the dressing room anymore – he’s lost it."
