DERBY DAZE
During a week when his side are preparing for a derby against Manchester City, it is odd that Erik ten Hag seems to have spent more time focusing on Jamie Carragher’s punditry and Fulham’s TikTok troubadours than how best they might go about trying to avoid the absolute monstering pretty much everyone, including their own fans, is expecting them to get when they make the short trip to the Etihad Stadium. Ten Hag’s side have faced a remarkable 100 shots in their past five league games against Fulham, Luton, Aston Villa, West Ham and Wolves, around half the number they are likely to have to defend on Sunday afternoon. Luckily for United, the man tasked with stopping them has been speaking about his return to form after a gaffe-prone start to life at the club.
