Essential Questions: Is Aston Villa make-or-break for Erik Ten Hag at Man Utd?
4 October - 39 minsOn the latest Essential Football podcast, Ron Walker, Pete Smith and Zinny Boswell discuss the rising pressure around Erik Ten Hag brought on by another poor start to the season at Man Utd.
After Marcus Rashford's bewildering half-time withdrawal in Porto, last weekend's debacle at home to Tottenham and a huge test coming up on Super Sunday at Aston Villa, the panel ask whether this is make-or-break time for Ten Hag - and where it's all come undone barely a year after his impressive debut season.
You can follow all the action from Aston Villa against Manchester United across Sky Sports this Sunday.
