Erik ten Hag has four selection decisions for Manchester United's clash with Man City

manchestereveningnews.co.uk:

Following a 24-day absence from club games, Manchester United will be competing for the bragging rights of the city in an anticipated clash with neighbours Man City at the Etihad.

A test that will be an indicator of the progression of Erik ten Hag’s tenure at Old Trafford. The momentum of four consecutive league wins has largely diminished due to the lengthy interval between matches.

A run that has been credited to the manager’s willingness to adapt his style. An expansive tactic became a pragmatic one, looking to build the foundations and hammer down the basics.

It is expected that this same pragmatism, that was especially in effect during the games against Liverpool and Arsenal, will return at the Etihad on Sunday.
