Erik ten Hag is under pressure at Manchester United already after just three matches.

Jamie Carragher has picked out one ‘really poor’ Manchester United player who Erik ten Hag keeps giving chances to.

Last weekend, United endured a tough afternoon after they were beaten 3-0 by Liverpool at Old Trafford.

A brace from Luis Diaz and a goal by Mohamed Salah meant United are in 14th place in the Premier League table heading into the first international break of the season.

On the back of the Liverpool defeat, Ten Hag’s future was questioned, which resulted in club CEO Omar Berrada having to back the manager publicly.

Berrada said: “Erik has our full backing and we have worked very closely together in this transfer window. We’re going to continue working very closely with him to help him get the best results out of the team.

“In terms of the contract, that was a decision that was taken prior to both of our arrivals. But we’re very happy with that decision.”

Speaking on the latest episode of The Overlap – brought to you by Sky Bet, former Liverpool and England defender Carragher picked out Andre Onana as a ‘really poor’ goalkeeper.

When talking about United’s style of play, Carragher said: “My point is, if you just go with the actual building from the back, all top teams try and build up from the back. You can talk about it being right or wrong but that’s what the top teams do.

“I think in the goalkeeper, with the ball at his feet I think he’s quite good. I don’t think he’s a good goalie, he’s a really poor goalkeeper but in terms of with his feet, he’s okay.”

The former centre-back added: “(Lisandro) Martinez is really good with the ball and then you’ve got (Matthijs) De Ligt who’s as good as (Ibrahimha) Konate or maybe slightly better than Konate on the ball.

“So I think it’s the actual set-up and the structure, I said last year United keep getting counter-attacked, it’s because of where they are on the ball, players just seem all over the place. It doesn’t seem to me as if like if you get the ball, my man is going to be there.”
