The 20-time Premier League champions finished eighth in the table and suffered humiliating defeats, especially at home. It was their worst finish in the Premier League era.
This season, they started with a narrow 1-0 win over Fulham, then lost to Brighton away from home before getting thumped 3-0 by Liverpool at Old Trafford.
Fans and pundits have predicted he could be fired if things don't drastically improve after the international break.
The club has made some high-profile signings, and there's an expectation from fans and the board after years of underachievement.
Who could replace Erik ten Hag?
According to Football365, Sir Jim Ratcliffe has listed three alternatives if results under Erik ten Hag don't improve.
Former Chelsea and Bayern Munich boss Thomas Tuchel, ex-Brighton manager Graham Potter, and Joachim Low, who led Germany to the 2014 World Cup, are the front runners for the role.
The club reportedly held talks with Tuchel and Gareth Southgate in the summer about the role but ended up extending Ten Hag's contract.
