Manchester United greats Rio Ferdinand and Roy Keane have both identified a mentality shift under Erik ten Hag so far this season as the newly-appointed Dutchman continues to settle into life in the Old Trafford dugout.
Despite some encouraging signs on the summer tour, United were humbled in their opening two Premier League matches - against Brighton and Brentford - before clocking up an important win over Liverpool. Since then, United have beaten Southampton and Leicester City with gutsy performances.
As impressive as they were against Liverpool last month, follow-up victories when they were expected to win are indicative of an improved mindset under their new manager. So much so, even former United captains who set the highest imaginable standards have been suitably impressed.
