Two games into the current campaign and it looked like Erik ten Hag's reign at Manchester United would end in disaster.
The Dutchman had seen United fall to two dreadful defeats in his first matches in charge, first to Brentford and then to Brighton. That meant that Liverpool were heavy favourites heading into the first meeting between the two sides of the season.
In the build-up, Reds boss Jurgen Klopp insisted he had little sympathy for Ten Hag, but he did offer him a piece of advice. It is advice that Ten Hag has certainly taken to heart, with United unrecognisible from August.
