Fri Oct 04 02:44:21 UTC 2024: ## Manchester United Face Porto After Another Disappointing Defeat

**Paris, October 3, 2024:** Manchester United will be looking to bounce back from a demoralizing 3-0 loss to Tottenham Hotspur when they face FC Porto in the Europa League on Thursday. The Red Devils are off to their worst start in the Premier League era, with just seven points from six games and a meager five goals scored.

Adding to the pressure on manager Erik ten Hag, United also opened their European campaign with a disappointing 1-1 draw at Old Trafford against his former club Twente. Midfielder Christian Eriksen described the result as “feeling like a loss.”

This latest defeat continues a worrying trend for United in European competition. They have only managed one win in their last nine games, following their disappointing Champions League performance last season.

Ten Hag acknowledged the team’s struggles, admitting they are “far below the standards expected.” He appealed for patience, stating that the season is “still very young,” and promised to turn the team’s fortunes around. “We have to show resilience because this is not good enough,” he said. “We have to accept this and, from this point on, we have to do things better.”

However, the pressure on ten Hag is mounting with each disappointing result. Their performance against Porto will be crucial for their European aspirations and could have a significant impact on ten Hag’s future at the club.
