McTominay got his first league start…

The last 10 minutes at Selhurst Park proved to be a nightmare for Manchester United. The Red Devils were in control with a goal lead until the last quarter of the game.

But his performances in Qatar haven’t managed to influence team dynamics in his favour at Manchester United. If anything, Ten Hag’s seemingly successful experiment of deploying…
Erik ten Hag’s Luke Shaw experiment is arguably one of the best recent gambits in football. The Englishman has partnered Raphael Varane in the defence as a centre-back, effectively keeping World Cup winner Lisandro Martinez at bay. In doing so, a World Cup-winning centre-back pair is denied to the Old Trafford faithful. Regardless, the unlikely…
Alejandro Garnacho’s emergence as a game-changing option off the bench in recent months has thrown the future of another Manchester United forward into doubt.

Man Utd have completed a transfer on the first day of the January window. But it’s not going to strengthen Erik ten Hag’s squad.
