Erik ten Hag is proving Ralf Rangnick substitution claim right at Manchester United

While there have certainly been lows this season, Manchester United have, in general, made an impressive start to the campaign - with Erik ten Hag appearing to have solved a number of issues that the club suffered from last term. The Dutchman, who arrived from Ajax in the summer, has, for now, got people on side, and things are looking up.

It was a nightmare start to the season, with losses against Brighton and Brentford in the opening two matches. However, the Reds have responded well in the past couple of months and have climbed up the Premier League table, while also putting themselves in a good position in the Europa League.

After relying heavily on Cristiano Ronaldo last season - with the Portuguese international finishing as the club's top goalscorer with 24 goals - the Reds have looked a better unit this term, and goals are coming from all areas of the pitch. The 37-year-old has, on a personal level, endured a difficult season so far and it looks increasingly likely that the veteran frontman will leave the club at some point next year.
