Man United have made a stuttering start to the campaign, producing performances that have raised more questions than answers.
When the Old Trafford scoreboard hit 90 minutes last Saturday afternoon Erik ten Hag, in the back of his mind, would have known the size of the storm coming his way.

They have lost six of their opening 11 games in all competitions, losing each of their opening two Champions League group games, leaving them with a mountain to climb in Group A ahead of the restart later this month.

United are unable to keep the back door shut and are not firing on all cylinders in attack.
