Manchester United head coach Erik ten Hag still has the full backing of Sir Alex Ferguson.

The legendary former United boss is standing by his Dutch colleague, despite a run of poor results this season.

United have found themselves under huge pressure, losing five of their first 11 Premier League games.

According to a new report from The Sun, Ferguson has thrown his weight behind Ten Hag.

He has indicated that any incoming investors, such as Sir Jim Ratcliffe, must back Ten Hag.

With Ratcliffe close to acquiring a 25 percent stake in United, Fergie's words may have come at the right time for United's under fire boss.
