Manchester United make the trip to Craven Cottage in their return to Premier League action this Saturday after a tumultuous week in M16.
The worst start to a season in 61 years has seen Erik ten Hag come under fire and according to certain reports, be on the brink of losing his job.
Other outlets suggest that the board currently have no plans in place to relieve the Dutchman of his duties, but they have drawn up a shortlist of potential candidates in case the situation worsens in the coming weeks.
Being United’s manager is one of the most scrutinised positions in world football and if results continue as they are, nobody would be surprised to see a new face in the dugout by the end of the campaign.
Three points imperative for Reds on the road
The first chance at ‘bouncing back’ comes this Saturday, with United and Fulham starting matchweek 11 in the early kick-off slot.
United sit eighth-placed and have overseen two losses against Manchester City and Newcastle United respectively – both by a three-goal margin – and a win against Copenhagen in their past three outings prior to tomorrow’s clash.
Meanwhile, the Cottagers progressed to the quarter-finals of the Carabao Cup with a 3-1 win over in-form Championship outfit Ipswich Town on Wednesday and last time out in the league, they drew 1-1 with Brighton and Hove Albion at the Amex following their 2-0 loss to Tottenham Hotspur.
