Erik ten Hag has today been officially unveiled as the new Manchester United manager at an Old Trafford press conference after witnessing first-hand the size of the task in front of him at Selhurst Park on Sunday.
Ten Hag's predecessor Ralf Rangnick has presided over United's worst ever Premier League campaign - one in which they have ended up a staggering 13 points off the top four despite having been long odds-on at the start of the season to finish in those Champions League places.
The key statistic that should embarrass United more than any other is the goal difference total of ZERO, a number that is barely comprehensible for a side that contains the world's greatest ever goalscorer.
