The Red Devils are sixth in the Premier League, seven points off leaders Man 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."

Refs told to curb players waving imaginary cards
Refs chief Howard Webb has told Premier League officials they MUST clamp down on players waving imaginary cards.
PGMOL boss Webb has also reiterated the need for refs to enforce directives penalising dissent.
And in a further statement of intent, Webb wants VAR officials to step in if “soft” penalties are wrongly awarded.
The former World Cup final whistler laid down his demands at the scheduled gathering of officials at their Loughborough base ahead of this weekend’s Prem resumption.
Webb pointed out that the early season directive to book – and if a second offence, send off – players showing imaginary cards after fouls appears to have been forgotten in recent weeks.
That inconsistency has been a complaint from fans up and down the country.
Webb is equally keen to ensure the strong line against dissent continues – as a way of enforcing better behaviour from players and managers alike.
