Erik ten Hag has been blessed with a deep squad at Manchester United, and now it is about time he used it. The Dutchman has yet to truly experiment with a line up since he took charge last summer, but with a packed fixture schedule ahead, he has a compelling argument to finally do it.
United's desire to win some silverware this season has seen experience favoured across all competitions, with Ten Hag largely reliant on a core group of players to keep those trophy dreams alive.
It was the same story in midweek, as a strong United side won 3-0 at Nottingham Forest to put one foot in the Carabao Cup final ahead of their second-leg next week.
