MANCHESTER United are in turmoil, despite back-to-back wins over Coventry and Sheffield United.

They are unbeaten in four games - however manager Erik ten Hag is clinging on to his job because the club’s performances have fallen way below expected standards.

They collapsed to throw away a 3-0 lead to Championship side Coventry who fought back to draw 3-3 at Wembley in Sunday’s FA Cup semi-final.

United went on to win the shootout as Antony taunted the Coventry supporters afterwards.

Ten Hag’s men then stumbled to a 4-2 midweek win over Sheffield Utd, after twice falling behind to the Premier League’s bottom team.

The Dutch manager is under huge pressure as joint owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe continues his extensive overhaul of the club behind the scenes with new technical director Jason Wilcox overseeing events on the pitch.

For a long time United have been run poorly from behind the scenes. 

Recruitment has routinely been scatter-gun and the slow nature of-decision making at the club has seen them miss out on potential new players. 

Ratcliffe and his right hand man Sir Dave Brailsford are fixing some of these problems - and the expectation is growing that Ten Hag will be shown the door sooner rather than later.

The most damning stat is that United concede an average of 17.7 shots at their goal per 90 minutes in the Premier League this season.

Only lowly Sheffield United have more, with 17.9. Man City manage to keep that figure down to
