Erik ten Hag has faced every challenge he's been confronted with since taking over at Manchester United head-on, with conviction and imagination.
He may well have to call on that again this Sunday. United will return to action following the international break and it will be no gentle easing back into things.
The fixtures will be coming thick and fast with at least nine games in April already and a game against Chelsea to rearrange as well.
But first up on Sunday will be a trip up north to face Newcastle United. Ten Hag's side may have enjoyed a more comfortable afternoon than they imagined when the two sides met at Wembley last month but the Magpies are back to full strength after a difficult period, won their last two outings before the break and are gunning for a fourth spot currently held by Tottenham.
