Scholes: Man Utd cannot afford to sack Ten Hag

Manchester United great Paul Scholes feels the club needs to stand by manager Erik ten Hag.

Scholes was speaking at the final whistle of United's 4-3 Champions League defeat at FC Copenhagen.

He said on TNT: "I still don't feel like there's that much pressure on Erik ten Hag. He had a good year and bought some time. He's had bad injuries but nine defeats in 17 is not good enough.

"I know United have sacked before, but I don't think they can afford to keep doing that.

"Ten Hag got unlucky tonight, but United put up a good fight. They lacked a bit of leadership. It's not easy to play away in Europe.

"It's just that collapsing that's hurting them. Once they concede one it feels like another is coming. You can't keep doing that every week."
