After lavishing over £200m on new players in the summer, expectations were high of a United improvement.

Performances this season have not matched the lofty levels achieved by Ten Hag during his reign at the club. De Telegraaf's conclusion from the game against Feyenoord was that there was one question for the Ajax players to answer, whether or not they still had faith in the manager. Ten Hag's role at the club was also all-encompassing, with the Dutchman an important figure at all levels.
