Erik ten Hag is fighting to save his job as Manchester United manager. The 54-year-old has yet to be given the unequivocal backing of the club's new football leadership regime, led by new minority owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe, and the team are outsiders to secure Champions League qualification -- eight points adrift of fourth place with 12 games left to play in the Premier League.

With United already out of this season's Champions League -- Ten Hag's side finished bottom of their group -- and eliminated from the Carabao Cup in the fourth round, the FA Cup is the club's only route to silverware, with Wednesday's fifth-round tie at Nottingham Forest (stream live on ESPN+) now a huge game for Ten Hag and his players.
