Manchester United head into Christmas Day sitting eighth in the Premier League following their 2-0 loss to West Ham United on Saturday. The Red Devils have now failed to score in their last four games across all competitions.
There is a lot of pressure on Erik ten Hag's shoulders right now, and he will return to action with his team on Boxing Day in hope to bounce back to winning ways and climb back up the table. Next up, United will face Aston Villa at Old Trafford to mark their penultimate match of 2023, before rounding off the year against Nottingham Forest.
