Erik ten Hag and Manchester United have had their worst start to a Premier League season in history, with eight points in seven games.
This breaks the record set last season, where they managed just nine points in their opening seven fixtures.
United are winless in their last five games.
Ten Hag’s record in his last 10 games is worse than Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s was prior to his sacking in 2021.
United’s ownership are meeting today in London to discuss the current state of the club.

In this meeting will be Sir Jim Ratcliffe, Joel Glazer, CEO Omar Berrada, sporting director Dan Ashworth and more.
Ten Hag’s potential sacking will be discussed, only a month after Berrada expressed his support for the Dutchman.
According to ESPN, Ten Hag is confident that the board will not sack him after today’s meeting.
He has flown out on holiday in the opening days of the international break and plans to continue his usual duties upon return.
Speaking last week, Sir Jim expressed his fondness of Ten Hag, but insisted that it is not his decision if he gets sacked.

“I like Erik. I think he’s a very good coach but at the end of the day it’s not my call [if he is sacked].”
“It’s the management team that’s running Manchester United that have to decide how we best run the team in many different respects”, he said.
However, news from The Athletic this morning has suggseted otherwise, as they have reported that Sir Jim will have the decisive say on the manager’s future.
Erik ten Hag has consistently had the public support of United’s ownership.
The only vocal doubts around his aptitude as manager have come from fans or pundits.
While United’s results arguably point towards a deserved sacking, the words from the board and Ten Hag himself suggest that he could remain in his job.
