Is the issue primarily ten Hag, or is it something deeper? While he's not blameless, I personally feel the issues run much deeper and would swapping rectify it?

It may do some short-term good (a bump in results perhaps), but for me it's sticking a plaster over what is a club that, for its size, is massively dysfunctional.

They're definitely not exploiting their financial might and overall status. As I've said previously, they have spent money but it's been haphazard - no real plan.

It's an expensive squad that lacks any real format to how they want to play and develop; the feeling I get is that there are lots of individuals too, not a team.

Just look at their midfield for an example: Amarabat, Mount, Fernandes, Eriksen, Casmimero, McTominay, Sancho, Antony and some kids.

It's relatively expensively put together, but you don't look at that and look frightened; you don't look at that and go it's players 'worth' lots (ignore what they spent).

Up front, Martial is a dud apart from against us, Hojlund isn't worth anywhere near what they spent and Rashford is once again off the boil. Garnacho is okay.

Let's ignore their defence, and letting De Gea go still seems odd. Like I said, ten Hag isn't blameless with some of his acquisitions and how he's setting them up...

... yet, I think most top managers will look at that squad and think they've got a job on their hand to get a tune out of what's a poor squad in the long-term.

Where does it boil down to? Poor leadership from the top.

I think their problem is that they have this Murtough fella running the football operation and he doesn’t know what he’s doing

Which is all down to the Glazers. I posted on GOT a while ago about their gravy-train attitude, and right now with little to investment they still get a return.

For them, it appears to not really matter whether they succeed on the pitch or not, because they're going to make a huge profit either way.

The time, effort and finances needed to bring about football success would increase their profit margin, but it looks as if they've said, 'It ain't worth it'.

If you’re talking about Utd. apparently they need Radcliffe’s £250m injection in order to buy players and stay within PSR as an “owner” can pump in money and increase the £105m averaged losses by another £90m

Mad but there you go.
(So Mosh could have got us out of the doo doo if he’d still had access to Uzbek money)
