Manchester United have made their worst-ever start to a Premier League season and go into the international break in 14th place. With just two wins from seven games, manager Erik ten Hag's position is under ever-growing threat.

United's new powerbrokers, the team of executives built by Sir Jim Ratcliffe since his INEOS group become minority shareholders in February, are due to hold a regular board meeting on Tuesday, and Ten Hag's future could be on the agenda.

But the people charged with running the club's football operations -- Ratcliffe, Dave Brailsford (INEOS head of sport), Omar Berrada (United's CEO), Dan Ashworth (United's sporting director) and Jason Wilcox (United's technical director) -- are unlikely to take the decision they surely need to.
