And if facing noisy neighbours Manchester City at Wembley is not enough to worry about, the drumbeat over him losing his job is growing deafening.
It has been claimed that Ten Hag will be axed even if he WINS this afternoon, with United needing to shell out £9million in compensation.
The Dutchman, 54, claims United want to rebuild with him at the helm.
But even WWE commentator Wade Barrett seems to know something Ten Hag does not.
As The Bloodline made their way into the ring on Smackdown, the British announcer aimed a cheeky dig at the under-fire tactician.
Barrett said: “Paul Heyman is basically The Bloodline’s answer to Manchester United’s Erik ten Hag.
“He’s still got a job, but for how much longer?”
The WWE rumour mill suggests Heyman could soon be kicked out of The Bloodline in favour of Solo Sikoa.

Mauricio Pochettino, Thomas Frank, Kieran McKenna and Thomas Tuchel are emerging as the main contenders to take over at Old Trafford.
Ten Hag will be packing his bags and fleeing the UK within 24 hours of the final whistle.
When he was asked about sitting down to do a season’s review with Sir Jim Ratcliffe after the final, his response was telling.
Ten Hag said: “No, we already did that and on Sunday I will go on holiday. I think I deserve it.”
In 2015 Barrett mocked former United star Wayne Rooney which led to the club legend slapping him in the face.
