    Ten Hag's men have scored just five goals in seven league games.

    Despite the silverware, Ten Hag is once again back to struggling in his reign at Old Trafford.

    Nonetheless, the ex-Ajax boss is convinced that he retains the support of United co-owner Jim Ratcliffe and the club's board.

    Another flop against Brentford could prove to be costly for Ten Hag ahead of a testing week featuring away games at Jose Mourinho's Fenerbahce in the Europa League and West Ham in the Premier League.
