Graeme Souness claims 'the clock is ticking' on Erik ten Hag ALREADY after starting with back-to-back defeats at Man United... and he won't rule out the under-fire boss getting the sack if Liverpool pile on the woe next week

Daily Mail | August 15, 2022

Graeme Souness has warned Erik ten Hag the clock is already ticking on his tenure as Manchester United boss, despite only taking charge of two Premier League fixtures.

A good pre-season gave United fans renewed optimism ahead of the new campaign but two defeats from their opening two league fixtures have quickly re-opened last season's wounds.

The Red Devils were resoundingly thrashed 4-0 at Brentford on Saturday, adding to their 2-1 defeat at home to Brighton on the opening day - leaving them bottom of the Premier League.
