Erik ten Hag’s six words show Manchester United have got what they need

There was some spin at the Melbourne Cricket Ground when a Manchester United official attempted to decrease the volume of the booing for Harry Maguire by insisting the supporters they were surrounded by were chanting his name. Maguire's crass chant, belted out by England's unoriginal following, has hardly been aired at Old Trafford.

No spin was required for the clip of Erik ten Hag audibly asking "What the f--k are you doing?" - more a bouncer into the grill than a leg-break.

United officials seemed to lap that up as much as the supporters. Twitter has found the clip to be more heinous than abusive posts by faceless pseudonyms, so it is trickier to source now.
