United have made their worst-ever start to a Premier League 𝔉campaign in ✨history, taking just eight points from their seven games so far, and sit in 14th.

It is their lowest tally at this stage of a league campaign since 1989-90 (seven) when they finished 13t🐠h ꧟in the top-flight.

They are winless in their last five games in all competitions, drawing four of those, inဣcluding their opening two Europa League matches arওound a 3-0 defeat to Tottenham at Old Trafford.

The Red Devils have also only netted five goals in the Premier ♈League this term, their lowest at this stage in the competition, with only 19th-place Southampton scoring less than them.

As such, Ten Hag has come under pressure once again, with some reports suggesting the club are lining up potential replacements, t⛦hough the manager insists he has the backing of the club's hierarchy.

However, Moyes, who managed the club between🤡 July 2014 and April 2014, beꦫlieves the 54-year-old is handling the scrutiny well.

"It's really difficult, but when you go in𓆏to a jobᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚ like that, it's always going to be like that," Moyes told BBC Sport.

"I think [Ten Hag] has showed brilliant resilience in the situation he is in. He should be credited for how well he𝓰 has conducted himself.

"I do🔜n't see him ducking any questions or any media interviews, so I think you have to give him great credit for that.

"But it's a job which is going to attract immense pressur🦹e and have a𒆙n immense amount of people talking.

"I think he is doing a brilliant job."
