Manchester United, the iconic football club, is grappling with managerial instability as it searches for a sixth permanent manager post-Alex Ferguson's retirement in 2013, following Erik ten Hag's exit. The once-dominant English champions have seen a downturn in form under Ten Hag, reflected in a dismal start to the season.

Statistics reveal a turbulent period, with United ranking 14th in the Premier League and enduring its worst start since the early 1990s. Additionally, the club's performances in Europe have been lackluster, ending tenure with a last-place finish in its Champions League group and underwhelming Europa League showings.

Under Ten Hag, United has struggled in attack and defense, netting a mere eight goals in nine games and conceding a staggering 58 goals last season. Setbacks include crushing defeats against Liverpool and closing games with last-minute losses, marking a challenging chapter in United's storied history.
