Pressure is mounting on Erik ten Hag after what has been a poor start to the season for Manchester United.
After an impressive first season, there are early signs that history is repeating itself as things start to go sour for another manager in the post Sir Alex Ferguson era at Old Trafford.
United showed signs of improvement under Louis van Gaal, Jose Mourinho and Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, only for the wheels to then fall off and lead to their dismissal from the club.

Despite this, Ten Hag still holds the highest win rate out of any permanent Manchester United boss in the history of the club - at 62.34 per cent.
