Chelsea manager Thomas Tuchel's comments following their 4-0 defeat to Arsenal could prove to be a boost for Manchester United and Erik ten Hag.
United have enjoyed a fruitful pre-season tour of Thailand and Australia, winning three out of their four matches in preparation for the upcoming campaign. The foundations of the Ten Hag era are starting to take shape and there is plenty for the fanbase to be positive about.
However, the 2021 Champions League winners' pre-season optimism is slowly fading following their sobering defeat to rivals Arsenal. Gabriel Jesus, Martin Odegaard, Bukayo Saka and Albert Sambi Lokonga all scored in the 4-0 win for Mikel Arteta's side.
