Selhurst Park A Nightmare For Erik Ten Hag
Selhurst Park was the first Premier League venue Erik Ten Hag visited, he sat in the stands in a white-piece suit and watched his new team lose 1 nill, subsequent visits to the stadium have brought undesirable results with the 4-0 nill trashing at the top of the list. The game at Selhurst Park last season marked the second time Ten Hag's Man United team have lost a match 4 nill, but unlike the game away at Brentford, many agreed it would take a miracle for Ten Hag to keep his job in the dugout, but he did. The game at Palace tomorrow will determine whether the recent surge in form and confidence for the Manager and team is here to stay, "It was a 4-0, totally deserved, but Saturday will be different. I don't compare (situations). From February onwards we had to find 11 players to construct a team. Now it is 18 and we can pick one".
Injuries And Returned Dates
Just like last season, this season began with a couple of injuries to important squad members, but luckily the injury situation is not as bad as it was last season and the addition of five players to the squad has proved to be very important to the team, four players have been playing and contributing to the team with the only exception Leny Yoro who is out until November. "Careful and top football, you always go to boundaries. It's not avoidable but when you have a full squad available then it's easier to manage the load when you are in circumstances like last season and there is a need to play, we have to overload them". On Mason and Rasmus "We have so many games in this block to cover, so very very happy. We have to make the final call, they did a couple of training, we have to see how they recover and tomorrow they will make the final call".
Line-Ups and Form
Before the game at Southampton, there were calls for Ten Hag to drop Marcus Rashford for Garnacho, however since then Rashford has scored three goals and assisted one, many will be looking at the front line to see what changes will be made however based on how Ten Hag has managed Garnacho's playing time he (Garnacho) will probably be on the bench. Ten Hag's management of Garnacho has brought massive rewards with the winger scoring four goals and assisting two, compared to last season where he started 38 games, the youngster is getting a much-needed and effective rest. In midfield latest signing Ugarte took his chance against Barnsley to show United fans exactly why United chased him throughout the transfer season. Ten Hag said we are going to see a different Man United at Selhurst Park tomorrow, from the line-ups to the playing style I think that change is assured.
