ERIK TEN HAG was pictured being dropped off at Manchester United training by his wife as he prepares to try to secure a second successive Premier League win.
The Dutch manager, 52, clinched his first proper victory as Red Devils boss on Monday night with a 2-1 triumph over bitter rivals Liverpool.
The result relieved some of the pressure which was already building following back-to-back losses to Brighton and Brentford at the start of the campaign.
Now he is seeking to build on that impressive display against Jurgen Klopp’s men when United travel to St Mary’s to take on Southampton on Saturday lunchtime.
And Ten Hag could be seen being dropped off by his partner Bianca just 24 hours before the clash on the South Coast.
United stars Jadon Sancho and Anthony Martial were also spotted arriving at the club’s Carrington training ground.

Sancho scored his first goal of the season in the win over Liverpool, while Martial has been ruled out with an Achilles injury.
Meanwhile, Cristiano Ronaldo, who was also snapped arriving on Friday, will be hoping he is recalled to the starting line-up for the Saints game.
He was benched in the win over Liverpool and only made a brief substitute appearance in the 86th minute.
Ten Hag could also opt to start with new signing Casemiro on Saturday.

The ex-Real Madrid star, who has won five Champions Leagues, was unveiled to the Old Trafford crowd before the Liverpool game after agreeing a £70million transfer.
And Ten Hag will be hoping another new signing is brought in over the coming days in Ajax winger Antony.
SunSport exclusively revealed earlier this week that the 24-year-old Brazilian is closing in on joining United for £84m.
But even if a deal is done before the Southampton game, he will not have enough time to be available for selection.
