Erik ten Hag appears to have followed Roy Keane's advice after the Manchester United legend took aim at Scott McTominay and Fred in the early stages of the Dutchman's reign.
Following a dismal 2-1 home defeat by Brighton on the opening day of the season in what was Ten Hag's first game in charge, Keane was brutal in his assessment of United's then-midfield duo. The Irishman was hardly a fan of the pair during Ole Gunnar Solskjaer and Ralf Rangnick's respective reigns but had fully lost patience by the time Ten Hag was at the helm.
"The two in the middle of the park, all over the place," Keane told Sky Sports. "Out of possession Man United are as poor as any team in the Premier League."
