The Manchester United board is set to hold a meeting in London today, with manager Erik ten Hag facing crunch talks over his future.

United have made their worst ever start to a Premier League season, having picked up just eight points from their first seven games. As a result, the pressure has ramped up on Ten Hag and a decision on his future could come very soon.

There is now an 11-day break until United's next game due to an international break and the Red Devils will be desperate to get back to winning ways once they return to action. With all that in mind, take a look at the latest headlines coming out of Old Trafford...

Tuchel 'lined up'

Former Chelsea and Bayern Munich boss Thomas Tuchel has been lined up to potentially replace Ten Hag, according to the Manchester Evening News.

Tuchel was in the frame to replace Ten Hag over the summer, but the Dutchman ultimately remained in charge and was given a one-year contract extension. However, United are now considering a change.

The report states that several other unnamed candidates are also of interest to United, but they are all currently in work while Tuchel has not taken another job since leaving Bayern at the end of last season.

Ten Hag highlights positives

Despite failing to win either game, Ten Hag was quick to highlight the positives from United's draws against Porto and Villa.

"We have come through two very tough away games," Ten Hag told Sky Sports. "This is a team, we showed the belief and faith we have." He also hailed his side's defensive performance, adding: "I think it's the fourth clean sheet this season.

"You see we had a very good organisation and togetherness. There was good character and good spirit as a team. Determined, resilient. We almost didn't concede a chance, when you defend like this and get some luck, in the end they had a big chance but it was almost the only chance I think."

Gomes open to return

Former Manchester United midfielder Angel Gomes has admitted he is open to rejoining the club, with the 24-year-old set to be available for nothing this summer.

"As amazing as it would be, after finding happiness abroad I know is not the be-all and end-all," Gomes told The Times about the prospect of returning to England.

And when quizzed specifically on a potential return to Old Trafford, the England international added: "There'll always be that sentimental soft spot, so of course it'd be difficult to say no."
