The Independent’s Miguel Delaney and Sam Dean of The Telegraph give their views on the leading stories from the back pages, which are dominated by Erik ten Hag’s future as Manchester United manager after their humbling 3-0 defeat to Tottenham on Sunday. Reports suggest the Dutchman has the backing of the hierarchy at the club for now. However, there are doubts that the vote of confidence will continue unless there is an immediate improvement in performances and results.The uncertainty at Old Trafford has suggested that Man Utd are already lining up possible replacements, which include Inter Milan’s Simone Inzaghi, Gareth Southgate, and Graham Potter who appeared on Monday Night Football, with some suggesting his performance may have been an audition for the role.The duo also discuss the rumours that John Stones is the prime candidate to fill the void of Rodri’s absence after the Spanish midfielder was ruled out for the remainder of the season.
