Manchester United fans have called out Erik ten Hag over his 'top four' comments after his side's 1-0 vital win over Luton Town.

United have enjoyed a mini-resurgence in the Premier League in recent weeks, having won four of their last five fixtures in the division.

The Red Devils' most recent victory came against struggling Luton Town at Old Trafford on Saturday, November 11.

According to Sky Sports, Victor Lindelof was United's unlikely hero during the encounter, with the Swede scoring the only goal of the match that earned the hosts all the three points.

Speaking after the match, an elated ten Hag noted that his side are now in a better position to make it into the Champions League spot.

"Once we start playing well, I think we will be in the competition for top five / top four."

However, ten Hag's sentiments did not go down well with a section of United supporters, with Sportbible reporting that a good number of them have laid into the Dutchman.

@LondonIsRedCom wondered:

"Right, so top 4 is the target now. What about the United fans who are saying they are just 6 points behind the league topper? What happens to their expectations."

@QuindariousPriv noted:

"Top 4 talk in NOVEMBER deserves an instant sack at a club like United."

"Top 4 talk and we’re only in November. Ten Haag is lowering the standards, not raising them."
