Piece by piece, Manchester United's ideal attack has begun to form this season, but the battle for Erik ten Hag is trying to get them out on the pitch at the same time.
It says much for the start Ten Hag has made at Old Trafford that he's recovered from those two disastrous defeats in August to steer his side to the brink of the top four, despite navigating injury issues in defence and attack.
Lisandro Martinez and Harry Maguire were the only central defenders left standing at the weekend but the picture hasn't been much clearer in the front three. Anthony Martial has managed just 135 minutes and now Antony is sidelined as well.
