MANCHESTER UNITED fans think that Erik ten Hag could be asked after spotting four eerie omens.
The pressure is already starting to mount on the Dutch manager after the defeat to Liverpool on Sunday.

Man United were beaten 3-0 at Old Trafford by the Reds in their second defeat of the Premier League season.
The Red Devils lost to Brighton and Hove Albion 2-1 at the Amex in the previous matchday.
This has left the club with just three points from a possible nine in the new campaign.
Fans have now spotted four eerie omens that could point to Ten Hag leaving his post as manager.
The omens are linked to Jose Mourinho‘s time in charge of the club before he was sacked.
The first is that the season started on a Friday night in 2018 just like the current campaign. United beat Leicester City, and this season, they beat Fulham.
The second omen is that both second games ended in a defeat to the Seagulls as Mourinho’s side lost 3-2 at the Amex.
They then followed that with a defeat to a big six team at Old Trafford, while Ten Hag‘s side lost to Liverpool, and Mourinho lost to Tottenham.

The final omen of the four is that Ten Hag was speaking about trophies.
After being told about the mistakes his side made against the Reds, Ten Hag defended his team by pointing to success in domestic trophies since his arrival.
Man Utd player ratings vs Liverpool
MANCHESTER UNITED had a horror show against Liverpool as they lost 3-0.
Casemiro was so bad he was taken off at half-time.
But were there any positive performances at Old Trafford?
Amadou Onana – 5
Nothing he could do about any of Liverpool’s goals and made a few saves to prevent the scoreline from getting worse.
Noussair Mazraoui – 5
Came close to scoring in the first half and looked solid enough against Diaz although he did push up too high before Liverpool’s opener.
Matthijs de Ligt – 4
Left Diaz and Domink Szobozslai in acres of space for the opening goal but was left in a tricky spot thanks to Casemiro’s error.
Booked for a shocking late tackle on Diaz.
Lisandro Martinez – 3
Lost Diaz for the second goal which meant the Colombian was able to score unmarked from the penalty spot.
Also guilty of giving away the ball too easily and was not tight enough with his marking.
Diogo Dalot – 4
Was caught out pushing up too quickly for the first goal and did not do enough to stop Mo Salah’s cross in the build-up to Liverpool’s second.
Looked dangerous in attack at times but too infrequently as he had plenty of defensive work to do since Rashford did not track Trent Alexander-Arnold.
Casemiro – 2
A horror show in the first half as he gave the ball away in the lead up to both of Liverpool’s goals.
He was caught on the ball for the second after a shocking misplaced pass left his defence vulnerable for the opening goal. Hooked at half-time.
Kobbie Mainoo – 4
Fell victim to the Casemiro curse as he was shrugged off the ball in a terrible position, allowing Liverpool to add a third with ease.
Bruno Fernandes – 5
Was United’s most creative spark but that is not saying much. Tried to get his side going in the first half but looked short of ideas and inspiration after the break.
Alejandro Garnacho – 4
Still appears to be a little rusty and is yet to hit the heights he reached last season.
Marcus Rashford – 3
Nothing came off for the out-of-sorts forward who must be running out of chances before he is dropped.
Joshua Zirkzee – 4
Quiet up-front and had little influence on the wing as well, but missed a clear-cut chance with his head and should have turned in Rashford’s cross which he met at the far post.
Subs
Tom Collyer (for Casemiro, HT) – 5
A difficult game for the youngster to make his Premier League debut but he put himself about and won a few tackles.
Harry Maguire (for De Ligt, 69mins) – 5
Shored things up at the back as Liverpool took their foot off the pedal.
Amad (for Garnacho, 69mins) – 5
Provided a spark on the right and looked more lively than Garnacho.
Christian Eriksen (for Zirkzee, 86mins) – N/A
Not on long enough to make an impact.
He said: “After City, we won the most trophies in English football. I’m sorry for you.”
This is similar to Mourinho’s rant in which he proclaimed his three Premier League titles and had more success than the other managers in the division.
The Portuguese manager went on to win six of the next 14 league games and was sacked in December 2018.
Fans have seen the similarities and reacted to the omens on social media.
One posted: “Where have I seen this before…?”
A second wrote: “History is about to repeat itself.”
A third wrote: “Ruud [van Nistelrooy] will be our manager before Christmas it’s just the way it’s going you can just tell.”
A fourth said: “I think everyone knows eth will be sacked and should’ve been sacked in May. It’s just a matter of when now, not if, and that’s down to Ineos bottling it.”
Another added: “He will be sacked by December.”
