PRESSURE is mounting on Erik ten Hag as Manchester United have lost three games on the bounce – but they face Premier League strugglers Burnley next.
The Red Devils suffered a 4-3 defeat in their opening 2023/24 Champions League encounter against Bayern Munich.
And fans are beginning to question the signing of goalkeeper Andre Onana who has now conceded three or more in his last three outings.
However, United have a huge opportunity to turn their fortunes around as they take on a Burnley side that currently sits 19th in the table.
But former Manchester City captain Vincent Kompany will be desperate for his team to add to United’s woes.
