Erik ten Hag returns to Selhurst Park on Wednesday, the place where he watched his first match after being appointed manager of Manchester United.
The Red Devils take on Crystal Palace, marking the halfway stage in the Dutchman's maiden Premier League campaign. Ten Hag's resurgent side can move up to third place with a win which would be their ninth successive victory on the back of Saturday's epic 2-1 comeback win against bitter rivals Manchester City.
It's a far cry from the situation United found themselves in the last time they travelled to South London, as a newly-appointed Ten Hag, sitting in a cool pale suit alongside close confidant Steve McClaren and right-hand man Mitchell van der Gaag, watched interim boss Ralf Rangnick lose his final game in charge. The limp 1-0 defeat summed up the Red Devils' abysmal season and laid bare the almighty task which their new permanent manager had ahead of him.
