Manchester United fans have sent a clear message to Erik ten Hag during the latest international break.
The international break has come at a good time for Ten Hag after United’s disappointing start to the season.
Despite being sixth in the Premier League, the Red Devils were knocked out of the Carabao Cup after a 3-0 defeat by Newcastle United.

In addition, their Champions League campaign is hanging by a thread after their recent defeat against Danish side FC Copenhagen.
However, United have had some joy in the Premier League after recording four wins out of their last five matches.
During the latest international break, the performances of Uruguayan winger Facundo Pellistri have caught United fans’ attention.
The 21-year-old earned a rating of 8.2 after providing an assist during Uruguay’s 3-0 win over Bolivia.
Pellistri also produced decent displays against Argentina and Brazil in previous matches.
As a result, United fans have called on Ten Hag to give Pellistri more opportunities at Old Trafford.
On social media, one fan wrote: “Facundo Pellistri for Uruguay is a different hit. We have a massive gem here. If only he could play more at United.”

Another tweeted: “Pellistri has cooked for Uruguay during the international break. It’s time he’s given a proper run of games on the right wing.”
A third fan added: “Need to see Pellistri starting for Manchester United.”
Someone else wrote: “Good to see Pellistri with an assist for his country last night, has to have a run of games at club level, surely, trust him.”
A fifth commented: “Pellistri can be considered one of the standout young players for Manchester United, with the potential to regularly feature in the starting lineup in the future.”
United are back in Premier League action this weekend as they travel to Goodison Park on Sunday for a potentially tricky match against Sean Dyche’s Everton.
