Paul Scholes' claim that Erik ten Hag's willingness to adapt is what gives him the edge over Jurgen Klopp appears to have been proven right this season.
After a nightmare start to life at Old Trafford, Ten Hag made the relevant tweaks to his system and now has Manchester United sitting third in the table, two points behind local rivals and reigning champions Manchester City with more than half of the season complete.
United have enjoyed some impressive results this term, such as home victories over league leaders Arsenal and arch-enemies Liverpool. In both of those contests, the Red Devils may not have played the perfect football Ten Hag eventually wants to achieve, but he managed to oversee a vital win on both occasions.
