After a successful first season under the Dutchman, many off-field problems at Old Trafford were compounded by poor form and poor results on the pitch.

Losing to Tottenham and Arsenal, a 3-1 home defeat on Saturday at Brighton means the Red Devils have lost three of their first five Premier League games.

Manager Ten Hag said of the results:


"It simply came to our notice then. But I also have to see how we play. But ultimately it is about the nature of the play. Now we need to see how strong we are, how the team interacts during the game, and which players stand up to show character and leadership. "Because of all the games, but especially today's game against Arsenal and Forest, we saw that we could play very well and we could create a lot of chances.

But of course there are some improvements that need to be made. That is exactly the case and now we have to get up. ”
