Currently, many questions are being raised about coach Ten Hag’s tactics and use of people.
Former player Robbie Savage told Planet Sport Bet: `I watched the second half of the Manchester derby and saw the difference in class between the two teams.`
`Different in their composure, Man City showed they have an excellent plan drawn up by a coach who makes the players play exactly the way he wants.`
`I once said that Ten Hag did one of the best jobs in the world, taking Man Utd to the top 4 of the Premier League and two national cup finals, but the reality is that this season Man Utd has
`The transfer is very confusing. Man Utd let David de Gea leave and brought in Andre Onana for a large fee, the team needed a central defender and brought in Johnny Evans, who is 35 years old. Ten Hag has Sergio Reguilon playing.
`Then you can see Mason Mount, who was bought for over £60 million and not in the starting lineup. So you have to question the process of transferring players and who made it.
`In addition, there are big question marks about Bruno Fernandes as captain, is he the right leader? Is Fernandes setting an example for his teammates? I’m not so sure.`

Savage believes that Man Utd’s leadership will be patient with Ten Hag until Christmas to bring Man Utd back on track.
`If you look at the time that Ten Hag has had and compare with Ange Postecoglou at Tottenham, Roberto De Zerbi at Brighton, Mikel Arteta at Arsenal, Jurgen Klopp at Liverpool or Pep Guardiola at Man City, the difference is clearly nil.
