One of those has been successful defence with Ten Hag incapable to find combinations that work. Matthijs de Ligt hasn't had the desired interaction and Neville believes a backmost 3 could springiness them much solidity.

He besides pointed to the club's full-backs - the likes of Diogo Dalot and Noussair Mazraoui - being acold amended going guardant than they are defensively. As a effect a backmost 3 with the usage of wing-backs could beryllium a speedy solution for the interim boss.

But he’s been connected the seat with Erik 10 Hag truthful I’d beryllium amazed if determination was thing drastic successful the adjacent fewer games. I judge that yet determination needs to beryllium rather a batch of enactment done with those players due to the fact that astatine this infinitesimal successful clip they are desperately struggling.

“Ruud van Nistelrooy volition bash his precise best. I person thought for a fig of months that, looking astatine the players that United person that they’d possibly beryllium amended suited to going 3 astatine the back. Just purely due to the fact that of the deficiency of a centre-back pairing and the full-backs look amended going guardant than they bash defensively, truthful possibly that could happen.

“Maybe that mightiness springiness them a spot much comfortableness due to the fact that it would springiness them an other assemblage astatine the backmost and players would beryllium successful a strategy wherever they got much support.

“That’s thing I’ve thought for a fewer months, whether that’s the close mode to spell I’m not sure. We’ll spot against Leicester connected Wednesday if helium agreed with what Erik was doing due to the fact that he’ll prime a antithetic squad if helium didn’t.”

The deficiency of playing individuality was agelong held against Ten Hag, who was known for the benignant helium implemented whilst astatine Ajax. United were incapable to settee connected a mode of playing with pundits perpetually asking what the Dutchman was trying to bash with his team.

So acold this play lone Southampton, who beryllium successful the bottommost three, person scored less goals that the Manchester outfit. Van Nistelrooy was bought successful to assistance the attacking endowment and volition present get a accidental to enactment his ain thoughts across.
