Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag has been praised by former Dutch footballer Ronald de Boer for dropping Harry Maguire and Cristiano Ronaldo from the club's starting XI.
United have won four successive Premier League matches following the defeats to Brighton and Brentford, with wins against Liverpool, Southampton, Leicester and Arsenal. Neither Maguire nor Ronaldo have started in any of these wins as Ten Hag made some bold decisions over his starting line-up.
Dropping the club captain and a five-time Ballon d'Or winner within the Dutchman's first few months at the club would not have been an easy choice by any means. They are the sort of decisions that can define your time at a club as a manager, for better or for worse.
