Manchester United's dismal start to the Premier League season has left Erik ten Hag searching for answers. Fortunately for the Dutchman, an international break presents an opportunity for him to devise a plan to navigate his side out of a messy situation.
Ten Hag has proved that he can improve results, having endured a similarly awful start in 2022-23 before embarking on a run that ultimately saw the Red Devils finish third and win the Carabao Cup. But backed with a £200million summer spend, there is far more pressure this time around.
The United boss may even be able to make use of the transfer market, especially if he believes there is a free agent who can improve his team.

The Magpies pushed to sign Anthony Elanga from Manchester United on deadline day, and Eddie Howe’s side have now drawn up a plan in case a move for the winger is not possible.
According to Caught Offside, Newcastle are ‘ready’ to push for Antony if they are not able to secure the signature of Elanga.
United signed the Brazilian for £86million previously but would reportedly be open to striking a deal to sell the forward for £40m, with Howe keen to work with Antony in 2025.
Lee Carsley has named Kobbie Mainoo and Harry Maguire in his starting eleven for his first match as England interim boss.
The Three Lions are set to face Ireland this evening in the Nations League, and Erik ten Hag will be hoping the duo come through the international break without sustaining any injury troubles.

Joshua Zirkzee asked Jamal Musiala to join Man Utd in the summer.
The pair are close friends after their time together at Bayern Munich and holidayed together in the USA.
One fan asked Zirkzee to persuade Musiala to make the move to Old Trafford - and the Bayern star has now revealed it actually happened.
Musiala told Bild: “You always joke around with friends and dream of playing together in a team one day. The jokes go both ways: I also told Josh that he should come back to Bayern. But you shouldn’t take that too seriously.”
