Erik ten Hag refused to hide away after watching his side slip to a disappointing defeat in their opening game of the season against Brighton, as he headed out for dinner on Sunday night.
Following a promising pre-season, optimism was high at Old Trafford that ten Hag could turn United's fortunes around this term after their disastrous 2021-22 campaign.
However, the team got off to the worst possible start as they were beaten 2-1 by Brighton thanks to a first half brace from Pascal Gross.
In the immediate aftermath of that humbling result, some may have expected ten Hag to keep a low profile, but he was spotted coming out of Italian restaurant Piccolino in Cheshire in the evening.
He even took time out to sign an autograph for a fan as he looked to put the loss behind him as quickly as possible.
Ten Hag has plenty to think about after his side's opening day setback, which exposed the team's obvious weaknesses.
The hosts were overrun in midfield, leading to former captain Roy Keane giving a scathing assessment of Fred and Scott McTominay's performances, while the new defensive pairing of Harry Maguire and Lisandro Martinez had an uncomfortable afternoon.
United also looked toothless in attack, and had to rely on an unfortunate own goal from Alexis Mac Allister to get on the scoresheet.
Ten Hag admitted afterwards that he has a 'hell of a job' on his hands, and he appears desperate to get some new signings through the door, with the club identifying Serie A pair Marko Arnautovic and Adrien Rabiot as potential targets.
Whether the Dutchman can bring in any new players in the coming days remains to be seen, as the club must now look to bounce back in their next game when they travel to Brentford on Saturday.
