Erik ten Hag is the manager under the most pressure this season, he said to CaughtOffside for his exclusive column. He was given a contract extension at Man United not because he's done well, but on the basis of let's make him feel a little bit calmer, a little more comfortable. We want to give him the benefit of the doubt.
If my punditry and other people's punditry that has Manchester United back into the top four is correct, but then they fizzle out, I think that ten Hag would find himself right on the edge.
Of course, United won the FA Cup against Manchester City, and if they hadn't, ten Hag wouldn't have kept his job. It's the only thing that kept him in the job according to Collymore.
Ten Hag doesn't necessarily need to hit the ground running, but too many early reverses, both domestically and in Europe, could see a heavy burden on his shoulders.
