Explained: Why Man Utd aren't 'panicking' despite poor Premier League start

After winning their first game of the new campaign - thanks to a late winner from Joshua Zirkzee - the Red Devils lost to Brighton via a stoppage time goal before being humbled at home in a 3-0 loss to Liverpool last week.
Their disappointing performances have resulted in calls for the Red Devils to sack Ten Hag just three weeks into the new campaign, even after they refrained from firing him in the summer and instead offered him a contract extension.
However, The Daily Mail reports that Sir Jim Ratcliffe and his INEOS team are not considering turning back on their summer decision just yet as they will give Ten Hag time to turn the situation around. However, the club chiefs' patience will not last forever, meaning the Dutchman must start producing more positive results soon.
United finished eighth in the table last season - their worst ever Premier League finish - but the new part-owners decided against bringing in a new coach as they addressed the flawed structure around Ten Hag. Now that signings like Zirkzee, Manuel Ugarte, Leny Yoro and Matthijs de Ligt have come in along with new background staff for Ten Hag and a new CEO and sporting director, Ratcliffe and Co. hope to bear the fruits of their work soon.
Ten Hag will hope the international break gives him enough time to work out the kinks in his strategy as the Old Trafford side look to bounce back when they meet newly-promoted Southampton, who are joint-bottom with zero points, on September 14.
