Erik's big pile of stinking mess

- JERMY CROSS

IF ERIK ten Hag had some hair, he'd be pulling it out.

But this is no laughing matter for the Manchester United boss, who must feel like spending the international break locked in a darkened room.

Instead, he will be donning a protective suit to fight the fires now raging inside and outside of Old Trafford.

The new season is less than a month old, but Ten Hag is already engulfed in a crisis.

Welcome to Planet United, Erik.

So where do we begin? United handled the s***storm surrounding Mason Greenwood like amateurs.

And if palming the troubled striker off to Getafe on loan felt like a good idea, think again.

The fact is Greenwood still belongs to United. The problem will be back next summer.

Elsewhere, Jadon Sancho appears to be finished at United after being axed from the squad because of a poor attitude.

Antony is facing a police investigation into fresh allegations of domestic abuse by an ex-girlfriend.
