Gary Neville believes that David de Gea could be on borrowed time at Manchester United - as Erik ten Hag will not persevere with players who do not have the capability to play out from the back.
Ten Hag has found success after adopting a more pragmatic approach in recent weeks following a difficult start to life in the Premier League. But the Dutchman saw a run of four consecutive league victories come ended emphatically by Manchester City, who cantered to a 6-3 win over their rivals in Sunday's Manchester derby.
And while it remains to be seen if Ten Hag will react to the defeat by immediately reverting to the more expansive type of football he enjoyed great success with during his time at Ajax, the United chief's long-term strategy is unlikely to be the counter-attacking style that United have utilised in recent weeks.
