Erik ten Hag revealed he's had discussions with Manchester United owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe on how they can improve after their 3-0 defeat to Tottenham Hotspur.
The Dutchman's position at Old Trafford has been one of uncertainty scaling back to last summer when the club's hierarchy openly searched for his replacement before deciding to stick with Ten Hag and triggering a one-year contract extension.
However, a poor start to the 2024/25 season sees the Red Devils languishing in 13th place in the Premier League. And it has led to reports that he may have just two games to save his job.
After Sunday's (September 29) 3-0 home defeat to Spurs – their second in a row following an identical loss to Liverpool – the 54-year-old spoke to Sky Sports where he opened about the talks he's had with co-owner Ratcliffe since the loss to Ange Postecoglou's side.
"We're talking continually, but we are talking about how we can improve the process," he succinctly said, before adding: "We are all very impatient and our fans are and they are entitled to but we are definitely as well.
"We want to win every game and when we are losing, everyone is disappointed, frustrated but it's also our fuel to get better."
The Dutchman could yet see his job at least temporarily be taken by his new assistant and United legend Ruud Van Nistelrooy, who is said to be a popular figure among the dressing room.
When asked what his side need to do to bounce back with important games against Porto and Aston Villa on the horizon, Ten Hag said: "The most important [issue] to address is one you always need, to keep the belief.
"[To] stay in the game, you need to keep the belief so that's the most important message that we have to give because if you lose your faith you lose everything isn't it? We have to keep going and stick to the plan and move on."
