Ahead of the start of the 2022-23 season, Manchester United announced with great fanfare the arrival of Erik ten Hag as manager. His work at Ajax had been so good, even reaching a Champions League final, that executives and fans thought the Dutch coach would shine at Old Trafford, finally filling Sir Alex Ferguson's shoes. However, reality is cruelly different. The coach is facing turbulent times that could mark the end of his tenure in Carrington. The recent home defeat against Galatasaray in the Champions League (2-3) has worsened a crisis that seems never-ending this season, where problems accumulate overwhelmingly.
The statistics speak for themselves: Manchester United has lost six of the ten matches played so far and has conceded a total of 18 goals in that ten-game stretch. This figure represents a negative record for the club since the 1966-67 season.
