The goal burst Ten Hag’s bubble and he was axed the following morning.

Man Utd are languishing in 14th in the Premier League table after the club’s worst ever start to a season.

If bosses want to keep their jobs, they should avoid conceding to a special list of players that have a knack of getting managers sacked.

Bowen has now scored to register the final hammer blows for three Prem gaffers in their last games before being dismissed.

Bruno Lage at Wolves, Frank Lampard at Everton and now Ten Hag have all been hit by the England star’s curse.

Only seven other players have scored in three different managers’ final matches in charge – Chris Wood, Riyad Mahrez, Sadio Mane, Xherdan Shaqiri, Gylfi Sigurdsson, Salomon Kalou and Darius Vassell.

Only Nottingham Forest striker Wood and Bowen remain in the Prem and can add to their stunning runs.

And they could catch James Ward-Prowse and Andy Cole, whose goals have been the last straw for four and five coaches respectively.
