Man Utd's bad defeats have raised questions about Erik ten Hag's approach. We take a look at what he's trying to achieve and what's holding the team back...
What is Manchester United's style of play under Erik ten Hag? It should not be a hard question to answer but it is something which has left many observers scratching their heads over the past week. 'None of us here can explain what Manchester United try to do in terms of how they play,' said Sky Sports' Jamie Carragher after watching Ten Hag's side outclassed by Manchester City on Sunday.
What's holding them back?Too easy to play through Perhaps it is not so much the idea of how to play that is missing but the execution, which is clearly not happening as it should and as a result clouding the picture of what United are doing. The front-foot approach is leaving them exposed when teams beat their press, with opponents bypassing Man Utd players with passes almost 30 times more per game on average this season than last.
