Erik ten Hag has already ditched six Manchester United players who featured in last Man City thrashing

Jadon Sancho levelled proceedings in the 18th minute after Kevin De Bruyne had scored the first of his two goals in the opening five minutes. Although City dominated the majority of the first period, United did well to make it to half-time level.
