Countdown for Ten

PRESSURE ON ERIK IS BUILDING UP

DAVID MOYES spoke this week about how Manchester United managers are in trouble if they are not winning.

Erik ten Hag has kept his job at Old Trafford by winning. Even in a desperate season that left him on the brink of the sack. The FA Cup was his saviour.

Last season, the spotlight was fierce on him as United stumbled from one disastrous performance to the next.

Every glimpse of light at the end of the tunnel was soon dimmed when another defeat would roll around before the cup win over Manchester City brought a new ray of hope.

But if Ten Hag thought the pressure was intense last season, it's going to go up a level this term.
