WHAT HAPPENED?

United have won just three matches in all competitions this season, collecting only eight points from seven games in the Premier League, while they have drawn both of their matches so far in the Europa League. Their underwhelming performances and results have resulted in renewed calls for manager Erik ten Hag to be sacked, despite signing a contact extension ahead of the new campaign.

THE BIGGER PICTURE

The pressure on Ten Hag comes despite the club splashing out on Leny Yoro, Matthijs de Ligt, Noussair Mazraoui, Joshua Zirkzee, and Manuel Ugarte over the summer to boost their hopes of challenging for silverware this term. Harriott, though, believes the Red Devils look like they need to start all over again.

  • WHAT AINSLEY HARRIOTT SAID

    Asked by BBC Sport for a food comparison to the Red Devils this season, the former Ready Steady Cook host said: “I think it would be overcooked scrambled egg. A bit heavy, not moving… it needs to be sort of remade.”
