And things are not getting much better off the field as the Red Devils were hit with delays to their journey to Portugal.

Man Utd are set to kick off their second Europa League game of the season against Porto at 8pm BST on Thursday evening.

They were due to take off for Portugal around 3pm on Wednesday, but did not leave until 6.10pm due to foggy and rainy conditions.

Ten Hag’s press conference was due to take place at 7pm but has now been pushed back to 8.30pm.

Fans have also suffered delays to their journeys.

It is the latest inconvenience for manager Ten Hag – who is understood to have been given two games to save his job.

Man Utd’s trip to Porto will be followed up by an away game in the Premier League against Aston Villa on Sunday.

They failed to win their opening Europa League match as FC Twente held them to a 1-1 draw at Old Trafford.

And the defeat to Spurs extended their winless streak to three matches – a run which started with a goalless draw against Crystal Palace.

But captain Bruno Fernandes will be available for the trip to Villa despite being shown a red card against Tottenham.

Man Utd were successful in appealing the decision, meaning the Portuguese playmaker escapes a three-match ban.

On the pressure he is under, Ten Hag said: “I’m not thinking about it, I’m not anxious.

“We created a togetherness in the summer with the ownership and the leadership.

“We made this agreement, and we were all behind it. We know the strategy [is to bring in] young players in a transition period.

“They also know in May in all my last six seasons there were always trophies and that is what we are aiming for.”
