Paul Scholes has praised Erik ten Hag for his tactical flexibility following Manchester United's 3-1 Premier League win over Arsenal on Sunday afternoon.
The match saw a return to the counter-attacking style of play which became a staple of Ole Gunnar Solksjaer's time at Old Trafford, although not the style which new boss Ten Hag was expected to utilise when he joined the club this summer. The Dutchman was known for being a possession-focused manager during his time with Ajax but Scholes says that, presented with this group of players, the Dutchman has adjusted his style.
United had 62.9% possession in their opening day defeat at the hands of Brighton and Hove Albion, followed by 66.7% in their defeat to Brentford in their second match. However, their recent wins over Liverpool and Arsenal have seen just 29.5% and 39% respectively to reflect the change in style for the manager.
