A disastrous second season in charge has put the United manager under mounting pressure, but he isn&#8217;t expecting to lose his job imminently.<\/p>\n<p>Ten Hag has overseen more defeats than wins this term, making up half of the Red Devils&#8217; 24 games in all competitions.<\/p>\n<p>United produced their worst-ever Champions League campaign, finishing rock bottom of Group A with just four points, having won just one of six games and lost four, conceding 15 goals.<\/p>\n<p>Newcastle United also ended their Carabao Cup defence early by cruising to a 3-0 victory at Old Trafford, avenging February&#8217;s final defeat.<\/p>\n<p>It leaves United with just the FA Cup and Premier League to play for, but they&#8217;re 10 points behind leaders Liverpool with a daunting trip to Anfield to come on Sunday.<\/p>\n<p>The club&#8217;s state of flux has somewhat worked in Ten Hag&#8217;s favour, with no figure currently likely to make the decision to dismiss him ahead of Sir Jim&#8217;s \u00a31.3billion deal for a 25 per cent stake.<\/p>\n<p>But the Dutchman is likely to become vulnerable once the INEOS founder inherits sporting control in the New Year if results don&#8217;t improve in the coming weeks.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Click <\/strong><strong>here<\/strong><strong> to join our WhatsApp community to be the first to receive breaking and exclusive Man Utd news.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p> <strong> READ MORE <\/strong> <strong>Man Utd and Tottenham told how to win Guirassy transfer race[TRANSFERS] <\/strong><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.images.express.co.uk\/img\/dynamic\/67\/590x\/secondary\/Erik-ten-Hag-expects-to-stay-at-Man-Utd-for-now-5116719.jpg?r=1702631657582\"><\/p>\n<p>Earlier this week, reports claimed that Sir Jim had met former Chelsea boss Graham Potter, identifying him as his preferred candidate should he sack Ten Hag.<\/p>\n<p>However, despite the current United manager&#8217;s recent woes, he is said to be relaxed about his job security less than two years into his rebuild.<\/p>\n<p>According to The Sun, Ten Hag is confident Sir Jim and INEOS will offer him enough time to present his vision for the future at Old Trafford.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s claimed that he expects the opportunity to win the 71-year-old over with his plans for the next phase of his project next summer, likely involving another squad clearout.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li> <svg width=\"24\" height=\"24\" viewbox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"> <g clip-path=\"url(#clip0_1078_5986)\"> <\/path> <\/path> <\/g> <defs> <clippath> <rect width=\"23.4329\" height=\"23.4329\" fill=\"white\" transform=\"translate(0 0.134262)\"><\/rect> <\/clippath> <\/defs> <\/svg> Support fearless journalism<\/li>\n<li> <svg width=\"24\" height=\"24\" viewbox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"> <g clip-path=\"url(#clip0_1078_5986)\"> <\/path> <\/path> <\/g> <defs> <clippath> <rect width=\"23.4329\" height=\"23.4329\" fill=\"white\" transform=\"translate(0 0.134262)\"><\/rect> <\/clippath> <\/defs> <\/svg> Read The Daily Express online, advert free<\/li>\n<li> <svg width=\"24\" height=\"24\" viewbox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"> <g clip-path=\"url(#clip0_1078_5986)\"> <\/path> <\/path> <\/g> <defs> <clippath> <rect width=\"23.4329\" height=\"23.4329\" fill=\"white\" transform=\"translate(0 0.134262)\"><\/rect> <\/clippath> <\/defs> <\/svg> Get super-fast page loading<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.images.express.co.uk\/img\/logo\/logo-premium-subscription.png\"><\/p>\n<p> <strong> DON&#8217;T MISS <\/strong> <br \/> <strong>Chelsea star Nkunku gets reality check as ex-Man Utd boss&#8217;
