Ange Postecoglou says he empathises with Manchester United head coach Erik ten Hag and feels constant criticism has made the ‘impossible job’ of football management “even more impossible”.

Ange Postecoglou has praised the job done by under-fire Manchester United boss Erik ten Hag as Tottenham prepare for their trip to Old Trafford on Sunday. A sloppy midweek draw in the Europa League reignited the pressure on Ten Hag, who has now seen his United side win just three of their opening seven games to start the season.

Ange Postecoglou has said that Erik ten Hag has done a "great job" at Old Trafford and that criticism should be expected as Premier League coaches are "always" under pressure.
