Man Utd board ordered to sack Erik ten Hag immediately after woeful Tottenham loss as replacement named
Erik ten Hag is coming under increasing pressure

Manchester United fans want to see Erik ten Hag dismissed as manager immediately with Thomas Tuchel named as the man they feel is best suited to come in as his replacement.
Ten Hag is into his third full season at Old Trafford with high hopes to begin the campaign about breaking back into the top four.
United ended last year on a high with their FA Cup win, but an eighth-placed finish in the Premier League left a lot to be desired.
That put pressure on Ten Hag to get off to a fast start to the new campaign, but they've looked woeful in the first few games.

They were hammered 3-0 at home to arch-rivals Liverpool earlier this month and headed into the match against Tottenham with back-to-back draws against Crystal Palace and FC Twente.
The match against Spurs was seen as a chance to get back on track and close the gap to their rivals.
But Spurs were the only side to show any attacking impetus with United shell-shocked after Brennan Johnson's opener inside three minutes.
United failed to pick up the pace in the first half before Bruno Fernandes was shown a red card for a reckless challenge on James Maddison.
Dejan Kulusevski doubled Tottenham's lead shortly after the break to all but end any slim hopes of an unlikely United comeback.
It's left United closer to the relegation zone than the Champions League spots after six games.
Ten Hag urged for patience from United fans after the draw against FC Twente earlier this week, but it appears as though many supporters aren't willing to wait any longer with calls for the club to make a move for Tuchel.
One supporter fumed: "When Ten Hag is gone please let it be Tuchel and nobody else."

Another angry message read: "TEN HAG OUT...GET ON THE PHONE TO TUCHEL."
A third person said: "Manchester United needs Tuchel and Ten Hag must be sacked immediately."
One other fan posted: "Ten Hag has to go after this game. Absolute Drabble of a Utd team if I saw one and were miles further behind than when he came."

Another wrote: "INEOS must sack Ten Hag, give Ruud a temporary run until we sign Tuchel after the international break. Wasting another full season to "go again" in the next one is a big fat NO."
Tuchel was seen as United's No 1 choice to replace Ten Hag by the club earlier this summer.
But the German coach, who left Bayern Munich at the end of last season, reportedly turned down an offer from United as he supposedly wanted to take a 'break from football'.
