Spotlight on Ten Hag

Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag will be wanting to talk about the VAR decision that cost his team at the London Stadium, but the really important question is: what do co-owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe, chief executive Omar Berrada and sporting director Dan Ashworth think about today's game?

United stuck with Ten Hag after his FA Cup final success against Manchester City last season.

I was told on Friday that the club still want the Dutchman to succeed, but he clearly needs to win matches to do that.

The club did not explicitly offer public backing during the international break earlier this month, so I am not anticipating they will do that in the wake of this defeat.

But, clearly, if the verdict is a negative one, we will know that soon enough.
