United’s season has not got off to the best start, with three wins and three defeats in their first six league matches.

The Red Devils also lost their Champions League group stage opener to Bayern Munich.

And there has been plenty of turmoil off the pitch too, not least with Jadon Sancho being banished from the first-team squad for a public spat with his boss.

United are down another winger too, with Antony taking time off amid allegations of abuse from an ex-partner.

There continues to be controversy over Mason Greenwood too, with the forward making a shock loan move to Getafe on deadline day.

And star man Marcus Rashford was lucky to escape injury after being caught up in a car crash at the weekend.

But things are starting to look up for United after they pinched a 1-0 win at Burnley on Saturday.

And the following day, Ten Hag welcomed his players and their families to Carrington for a special BBQ treat.
