Man United have endured a poor start to the season and they already look to have a fight on to finish in the top four.
Premier League managers have long pointed to the magical 10-game mark as a reliable gauge for how the season will unfold.
United were fortunate to win 1-0 against Wolves on the opening day and an analyst from the opposition team in the press box that night said he was encouraged by the performance because they wouldn't play sides of that quality each week. United have six points in the league and their second victory came against Nottingham Forest, who took an early two-goal lead before surrendering to a comeback thanks to goals from Christian Eriksen, Casemiro and Bruno Fernandes.
The positive to take from that visit to the Allianz Arena was the character shown in the closing stages. United scored twice when the game looked to have already been won and that fighting quality will be required at Turf Moor this weekend. Vincent Kompany has played down talk of a crisis at Old Trafford and he's insisted he's focusing on his team instead, who have got off to a terrible start in the topflight after stylishly making a mockery of the Championship last season.
