Erik ten Hag earned some much-needed respite as Manchester United claimed their first win in three at Burnley on Saturday night.
The pressure has ramped up on the Dutchman at the start of 2023/24, with United faltering in their opening fixtures after a positive 2022/23 campaign which included a Carabao Cup triumph.
The Red Devils begin their cup defence on Tuesday night against Premier League rivals Crystal Palace, who staged an impressive turnaround in the second round at Plymouth to set-up this third round affair at Old Trafford.
