Nicely…it is honest to say that the primary half of Erik ten Hag’s first ever Premier League sport hasn’t gone to plan.
And it hasn’t as a result of Manchester United went into half-time 2-0 down at residence to Brighton & Hove Albion.
Yep, 2-0 down at Previous Trafford to Brighton & Hove Albion.
Coping with quite a lot of accidents, together with Anthony Martial, and Cristiano Ronaldo’s lack of match health, ten Hag fielded an fascinating XI on Sunday – beginning Bruno Fernandes as a de-facto quantity 9, with new signing Christian Eriksen slotting into midfield. It is honest to say his choices have been met with combined evaluations:
Barely disenchanted with the road up. Shaw and Mctominay very lucky.
Appears Eriksen or Fernandes will play at quantity 10 or slim on the edges. Sancho being on the opposite facet
Rashford, upfront.
