Manchester United head coach Erik ten Hag has said that he is only currently focusing on "making the team better" amid suggestions he could soon be relieved of his duties.
The Red Devils will head into Sunday's Premier League clash with Liverpool off the back of successive losses to Bournemouth and Bayern Munich in the Premier League and Champions League respectively.
Man United finished bottom of their Champions League group, while they are out of the EFL Cup and sit down in sixth position in the Premier League table, six points behind fourth-placed Manchester City.
The 20-time English champions have already lost 12 times in all competitions this season, and there have been claims that incoming minority shareholder Sir Jim Ratcliffe is lining up Graham Potter as the new head coach.
Ten Hag was asked about his future during Friday's pre-match press conference, but he said that he was "focusing on the process" and had "no concern" over the rumours surrounding his future.

"I'm focusing on the process, making the team better and that's my concern. That's what I'm focusing on, the right thing, and that's the team," he told reporters.
"There is no concern because I'm here to win and I have to make the team play better. Good is not good enough, we are inconsistent and I have to work on how the team will play."
Liverpool are currently top of the Premier League table, with the Reds unbeaten in England's top flight since the end of September, but Ten Hag is confident that his side can harm the Merseyside team.
"No [not worried]. We will put out a team that can challenge and we'll prepare them in the best way we can. We are confident we can put out a team that can win," he said, as Man United prepare to head to the stadium where they lost 7-0 in the Premier League last season.

"I haven't seen last season we were scared there. It was a bad experience, but it's not similar, you start again. Last year, the first half we played very decent and we got hammered just after half-time, then we collapsed.
"That can't happen but it's last year, it's a different team and different players for a part at least. We won't ignore it, but we'll be confident and we have to fight, challenge and go there with the idea, to prepare to win.
"Everyone is highly motivated when you go to Anfield, it's a great place to go. You know it's going to be tough and what every top footballer wants is that challenge. You have to look forward and last year, we take that in our memory, but you have to take the benefit and learn from it. On Sunday, we can prove that.
"They're playing good, no doubt, but we have some more tough games in the last period. Bayern are a very good team, so we have seen we can go head-to-head with them. That is our challenge for Sunday as well."
Man United will be missing Harry Maguire due to a groin problem that he picked up against Bayern, but Luke Shaw, who suffered a hamstring scare in the same match, is fit for the trip to Anfield.
