They currently sit sixth in the Premier League table, seven points behind leaders Manchester City.
And with just three points from four European games, they are also at risk of dropping out of the Champions League in the group stages.
Despite Man Utd‘s current situation, club chiefs have decided to stand by Ten Hag.
However, ex-Liverpool star Enrique has claimed that the Dutchman will leave Old Trafford before the end of the season.
The Spaniard told Grosvenor Sport: “I do not think Erik ten Hag will finish this season at Manchester United.
“If they do keep him it will be because they are wanting to stick with a long-term project and they believe that he can change things.
“But many players within the club are already against him. Raphael Varane is against him and Ten Hag has done a couple of things which haven’t gone down well with Jadon Sancho, Antony and Cristiano Ronaldo in the past.
“All these situations have arisen in a short period of time because he still hasn’t been at the club for that long.”

Enrique went on to suggest that Ten Hag has lost the faith of his players, adding: “I think he has lost the dressing room. I’m not sure how long Manchester United will keep him for but I don’t think they have any chance of making the top four this season.
“The players should still go out and perform regardless, but it’s true that when you like the manager you play better for them. You want to win for them as well as for yourself and the fans.
“I don’t believe that this is the case at Manchester United. I actually think that the players would be happy if Ten Hag was sacked.
“They want someone else and they don’t believe that he is the right man. I don’t think he has the backing of many players in the dressing room anymore – he’s lost it.”
Man Utd return to Premier League action this Sunday when they travel to face Everton at Goodison Park.
