Ferdinand sends warning over Ten Hag
Former centre-back Rio Ferdinand believes it is still too early to judge whether or not Erik ten Hag is the right man to lead Manchester United back to the top, despite their improvement under him this season.
United head into the Manchester derby against City at Old Trafford with the knowledge that a win will lift them to within a point and place of their neighbours in the Premier League table. The Reds have lost just one of their last 18 matches since being battered 6-3 by City back in October, featuring a current run of eight wins on the bounce.

Such is the level of progress they have made under Ten Hag this campaign, United are now considered among the favourites to qualify for the Champions League.
Newcastle react to McTominay rumours
Eddie Howe has rejected reports that Newcastle United want to sign Scott McTominay on loan.
McTominay, 26, has slipped down the midfield pecking order at Manchester United this season with Casemiro and Christian Eriksen both welcomed to Old Trafford during the summer window. Erik ten Hag also has Fred and injured Donny van de Beek at his disposal in the same area - not to mention Bruno Fernandes.
Newcastle are, meanwhile, hoping to bring in players mid-season in their quest for Champions League qualification, but McTominay is not on their list. Howe was asked directly about the United midfielder during his press conference as the third-placed Magpies look ahead to their Premier League meeting with Fulham on Sunday afternoon.
