To say that Erik ten Hag has had to overcome a series of challenges during his first season in charge at Manchester United would be something of an understatement.

The Dutchman, who watched his side battle back from 1-0 down to beat Fulham 3-1 and progress to the FA Cup semi-finals on Sunday, has had to navigate his team through a series of obstacles.

From losing his first two games at the helm to the whole Cristiano Ronaldo saga that developed just before the World Cup, Ten Hag has not had too many instances where things have been simple and straightforward.

Through all of those adversities, however, he has guided United to their first trophy in six years, the semi-finals of the FA Cup, the quarter-finals of the Europa League and a famous European victory over Barcelona.
