Erik ten Hag is behind every improvement at Manchester United this season
If there is another alteration Erik ten Hag suggests to the Manchester United decision-makers it might be to relocate Under-21 games from Leigh to Altrincham.
Ten Hag was in attendance at the J Davidson Stadium on Friday night, enforced by the women's team's opening fixture at Leigh Sports Village on Saturday.
Anyone who has driven past Altrincham's ground will know how close it is to Hale village. A potential post-match debrief at La Famiglia or Piccolino is less than a mile away.
Manchester United forgotten forward might be set for unlikely lifeline
There has been a real sense of consistency for Manchester United in the last few weeks. They have won five of their last six matches, and Erik ten Hag has found a favoured starting line-up, though it has had to be adapted amid a recent striker shortage.
In two weeks' time, United will return to action against Man City and there is already a relatively straightforward squad selection to make should his stars return from international duty unscathed.
It is refreshing that United seem to have already found a system and the right personnel so early on in the season, but the obvious downside is that this won’t be able to last much longer given the packed fixture schedule that awaits them on their return.
