Manchester United vs. Fulham
Erik ten Hag is the focus of today’s potentially crucial Premier League lunchtime kickoff in west London. United are off to their worst start in 51 years after losing two home matches 3-0, calling into question the Dutchman’s job.
Ten Hag will need a win this afternoon to remove some of the increasing pressure and start to ease the newest Old Trafford problem. His career is not in danger, but wins are needed amid a fairer fixture calendar. Mid-table Fulham will likely take advantage of such drama as fans protest increased ticket costs, giving United another tough test.
