Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag is under significant pressure after a poor start to the season, including a 3-0 defeat to Liverpool. Despite retaining his position after winning the FA Cup last season, his future is uncertain, with pundit Alan Shearer suggesting that the next two matches could be critical for his tenure. Ten Hag will temporarily manage his former club FC Utrecht during the international break, providing a brief respite from his duties at United. Meanwhile, former Bayern Munich manager Thomas Tuchel reportedly came close to replacing Ten Hag but ultimately declined due to disagreements over the club's transfer policy. United's new management team has shown public support for Ten Hag, but the pressure continues to build as the team struggles to find form.
