The defeat against Liverpool may still be tolerable because Liverpool is also a strong team even though the defeat was quite embarrassing for Manchester United. If in the last few matches Man United cannot win, of course Ten Hag will be fired, this season is the last season of proof for Ten Hag because if he fails again this season then it is likely that management will fire him and I think that is quite realistic because for the past 3 seasons Manchester United management has fully supported what Ten Hag has done but there has been no change or progress.
This defeat is big and unacceptable because Manchester United and Liverpool are traditional competitors in Premier League and none of them want to lose a match to their opponent. Manchester United can not use any word to heal their pain from this defeat which is a big shame too.
With this defeat, it's lucky for Ten Hag as it comes in early of season but if it is in middle of season, a fire can be taken immediately. Anyway, with this disappointed match after some other bad matches, Manchester United and Ten Hag will have mountain for climbing in next match days. Even the season just began, Ten Hag has not too small risk to be sacked as patience given to him already lasted more than two seasons.
The defeat against Liverpool actually shows the bad mentality currently possessed by the Manchester United squad, in fact I think these two consecutive defeats should be an evaluation for Manchester United management regarding Ten Hag performance as coach, indeed Liverpool is a strong team but if we look at the number of money has spent by Manchester United at the moment I think that the losing is very embarrassing for their, especially since Liverpool at that time had not brought in a single new player when facing Manchester United.
With retaining Ten Hag as coach of course we can't expect much if Manchester United can give us surprise this season, even though it season still too early , but losing 6 points in the first match is of course quite embarrassing for a big team like the Red Devils at the moment, if Manchester United wants to be a title contender then they are required to no longer lose points considering teams like Arsenal, Manchester City and Liverpool will minimize mistakes that will make them lose poins later.
