Shearer believes that losing two of three Premier League games, and the Community Shield to Manchester City, have piled the pressure on Ten Hag.

Speaking to Betfair, he said: “Man United's results will have to improve massively for Ten Hag to still be at the club at Christmas. A lot will depend on their next two results.

“After the defeat to Brighton and the manner of defeat to Liverpool, if the team doesn't see a massive improvement in the next game or two then it will be really, really difficult for him because the noise will only get louder.”
