Erik ten Hag is a man who may need to be approached with caution right now.
The Manchester United manager began this summer determined to build on a promising first campaign in charge, which saw the club capture the League Cup and secure a return to Champions League football. And with his squad in need of reinforcements, coupled with a seemingly imminent takeover, the club were tipped to do big business in the transfer market.
Neither has of yet materialised. With the Glazer family still dithering over the bids of Sheikh Jassim and Sir Jim Ratcliffe, and negotiations over a deal for Mason Mount stalling, United fans could soon be bearing the brunt of the Dutchman's frustration.
