Manchester United players have been warned that they do not want to fall foul of Erik ten Hag, whose ruthless streak has caught the eye of ex-Red Devils midfielder-turned-pundit Owen Hargreaves.
It has been a mixed start to life in the Old Trafford hot-seat for Ten Hag, who is desperately trying to implement his philosophy as soon as possible while balancing the need for instant results, something always required for a club of United's stature.
The Dutchman has overseen four defeats across all competitions, but has also enjoyed an impressive run of victories that saw United topple two of their fellow 'big-six' rivals Liverpool and Arsenal at home. One theme of the early stages of Ten Hag's reign has been a fearlessness in decision making.
