Erik ten Hag briefly confused Manchester United's away support and journalists in the press box at Elland Road in February.

With the scoreline 0-0 against Leeds, he moved Wout Weghorst, who had started as a striker, to attacking midfield, which meant Marcus Rashford played down the middle, Bruno Fernandes was on the right and Alejandro Garnacho was on the left.
