Erik ten Hag's team has had a rocky start to their Premier League season, with their recent draw against Aston Villa solidifying their worst start in the league. Despite this, ten Hag was back at work on Monday after narrowly avoiding being sacked by Manchester United.
The Red Devils have had a string of disappointing results, with their 0-0 draw against Villa being their second consecutive draw in all competitions. During the international break, United's top officials gathered for two meetings, one at Old Trafford and one in London. While these meetings were already scheduled, the presence of Sir Jim Ratcliffe at Villa Park did not go unnoticed.
Despite the speculation surrounding ten Hag's position, Manchester United has not made any public announcements about a possible change in management. The Dutchman has 18 months left on his contract and has recently returned from a trip to his home country.
Ten Hag is now back at Carrington, United's training ground, preparing for their upcoming match against Brentford. The game is crucial for the team, but they are facing an injury crisis in defense. Harry Maguire and Noussair Mazraoui were both injured during the Villa match, while Lisandro Martinez and Matthijs De Ligt were benched. Luke Shaw and Tyrell Malacia are also not fully fit, leaving Martinez or Jonny Evans as possible options at left-back.
In the center of defense, Victor Lindelof has yet to start a game this season, so there is a possibility that Casemiro could be paired with De Ligt. Meanwhile, Diogo Dalot, who has been playing at left-back, may have to switch to the right side. However, there was some good news in midfield as Mason Mount has returned to training after missing the previous two matches.
There has been some buzz surrounding Paul Pogba's potential transfer to Marseille in January, but the midfielder has responded by stating his commitment to Manchester United.

It's clear that Manchester United is facing some challenges, but ten Hag and his team are determined to turn things around and secure a much-needed win against Brentford. With the support of their loyal fans, they are confident in their ability to overcome any obstacles and come out on top.
