United are on a downward spiral that Erik ten Hag is struggling to get them out of at the moment.<\/p>\n<p>Last year&#8217;s promising debut campaign at the helm of United appears to be a distant memory with their defeat to Copenhagen the latest in a long line of disappointing results. They&#8217;ve now lost three of their four Champions League group matches to leave them bottom with only two games remaining.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s been a similar story in the league for United as well with none of their six victories being convincing. All six wins have been by just one goal and pressure is on Ten Hag heading into this weekend for their match against Luton.<\/p>\n<p>Gullit fears the worst for his compatriot and believes Luton won&#8217;t be afraid of going to Old Trafford on Saturday. &#8220;I fear big,&#8221; Gullit said on beIN SPORTS.<\/p>\n<p>Click here to join our WhatsApp community to be the first to receive breaking and exclusive Man Utd news.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.images.express.co.uk\/img\/dynamic\/67\/590x\/secondary\/5057145.jpg?r=1699526390006\"><\/p>\n<p>&#8220;When I saw him on the pitch after that, he was very calm. I feel for him. They&#8217;re gonna get hammered this whole week.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It doesn&#8217;t look good but the thing is, as a coach, you think to yourself that first 25 minutes was excellent. I can build on that.
