The Dutchman has now overseen Man United's worst start to a league campaign since 1989 after Saturday's 1-0 defeat against Crystal Palace.
Micah Richards has highlighted a lack of goals as Manchester United's biggest issue in their worst start to a Premier League season for 34 years.
Despite dominating possession, Erik ten Hag's side failed to build any genuine momentum and clear-cut chances were sparse. Any openings were either finished poorly or saved well by Eagles goalkeeper Sam Johnstone."Man United are just disappointing, they really are," Richards told Match of the Day. "The size of the club, the players that they’ve brought in, and you’re looking for something every week when are they gonna get it right? And it just goes on.
Ten Hag sanctioned the £72million purchase of Rasmus Hojlund over the summer in a bid to add goals, but in the 20-year-old's first Premier League start he was starved of genuine service. Last season's top goalscorer Marcus Rashford was off the boil again and came off with 20 minutes still to go.
