Thomas Tuchel and Erik ten Hag can certainly sympathise with each other when it comes to the size of the spotlight on their respective clubs ahead of a first head-to-head between the two at the Allianz Arena on Wednesday.

The German and Dutch coaches are in charge of the biggest teams in their country and clubs that dominate the news cycle, for better or worse.

Bayern Munich won an 11th straight Bundesliga title last season but seemed to spend most of the campaign in crisis. In Manchester, United enjoyed an encouraging first season with Ten Hag at the helm, but the crisis footing never feels like it is far away at Old Trafford.

They might not be quite there yet, but United are certainly flirting with that cracked badge that signifies a club that has lost control.
