After all the optimism of his first year in charge, Ten Hag has ended up under the microscope as Sir Jim Ratcliffe's new era begins.
MEN Sport reported this week that the Ineos founder is not completely convinced by the Dutchman and has yet to decide whether he will remain as manager beyond this season.
Ratcliffe has not been frightened to bring in the changes at Old Trafford.
Richard Arnold has already departed and John Murtough is on the verge of being rehomed once an agreement for Dan Ashworth has been reached.
The British billionaire is likely to not think twice about parting ways with Ten Hag if he wishes to and that means a replacement would need to be found.
