Erik ten Hag inherited one hell of a job from his predecessor Ralf Rangnick at Manchester United following the club's worst finish in the Premier League era.
And turning around the sinking ship has required the talented Dutchman to make some difficult changes at Carrington - necessary evils to restore a general sense of unity and get the Red Devils firing again.
United kick-started this campaign in woeful form losing at home to Brighton before being thumped on the road by Brentford. But things suddenly changed after that, with the Red Devils going on a good run and winning all four of their next matches - overcoming both Liverpool and Arsenal in the process.
