Manchester United boss Erik Ten Hag is under immense pressure to turn the situation around at the club.
Having scored the same number of goals as Chris Wood in the Premier League so far this season does not make good reading.

Despite the win that they secured against Brentford last weekend, make no mistake, the pressure is still very much on Ten Hag. Failure to win against a struggling West Ham United side might prove to be the final nail in the coffin for the Dutch coach.
Manchester United, as they take a trip to London, will know at the back of their minds that they need to find an incredible display against West Ham, something that they have not managed to do so far, at least this season.
With all this in mind, here is how we think Erik ten Hag can set Manchester United up against West Ham United in the Premier League. We think there is set to be two changes from the team that he fielded against Fenerbahce midweek.
The easiest position in the Man Utd team at the moment is in goal and Andre Onana walks into the XI on the back of some incredible individual displays.
Noussair Mazraoui should return to the right-back role after the #10 experiment midweek with Diogo Dalot on the left. Matthijs de Ligt and Lisandro Martinez should continue as the centre-back pairing.
Manuel Ugarte should get the nod ahead of Casemiro as the #6 (just). Christian Eriksen is enjoying a late second wind in his career and should partner the Uruguayan with Bruno Fernandes rounding off the midfield.
Marcus Rashford should keep his place from the left. Rasmus Hojlund should return in place of Joshua Zirkzee in the starting XI. From the right, Alejandro Garnacho could be offered a break, with Amad Diallo starting in his place.
Erik ten Hag will know that anything other than a win against West Ham will put him in hot water, yet again. Let’s wait and see how it goes.
