Manchester United boss, Erik ten Hag has conceded that he is under immense pressure following the club's disastrous start to the new season.
The Red Devils have been struggling for form and results five games into the new campaign, having managed just two wins in the fixtures played.

However, they were handed yet another reality check as Brighton condemned them to a comprehensive 3-1 defeat at Old Trafford on Saturday.
Goals from Danny Welbeck, Pascal Gross, and Joao Pedro secured Brighton a comfortable win, per the BBC.
The defeat saw United mark their worst start to the season since 2014 when they managed a paltry five points from five games under then-boss Louis van Gaal.
