The Cameroon international is building a strong connection with United\u2019s first-choice centre-back partnership and that relationship must develop further if the trio are to thrive.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Defence: Aaron Wan-Bissaka, Raphael Varane, Lisandro Martinez, Diogo Dalot<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Luke Shaw\u2019s injury has been revealed to be \u2018longer\u2019 than first anticipated and he will be sidelined for a matter of months, with Tyrell Malacia also ruled out for the next few weeks. Therefore, Diogo Dalot is the likeliest candidate to slot into left-back given that Aaron Wan-Bissaka has managed to keep the Portugal international out of Ten Hag\u2019s starting XI with strong defensive displays.<\/p>\n<p> <strong> Don&#8217;t miss&#8230; <\/strong> <strong>Erik ten Hag breaks silence on Mason Greenwood exit with clear message[LATEST] <\/strong><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.images.express.co.uk\/img\/dynamic\/67\/590x\/secondary\/4928057.jpg?r=1693006654732\"><\/p>\n<p><strong>Midfield: Casemiro, Bruno Fernandes, Christian Eriksen<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Ten Hag has shot down claims that his midfield has been his problem so far this season, but an injury to Mason Mount could allow him to finally provide Casemiro with some more defensive help. Christian Eriksen looks the likeliest candidate to enter the fray given that he formed a solid partnership with the Brazilian last season and is capable of creating from deep.<\/p>\n<p>A spell on the sidelines overlooking Eriksen and how he works in Ten Hag\u2019s system could also help Mount understand what his role will be when he returns to fitness. The England international has struggled so far at Old Trafford and often been criticised for roaming out of position and leaving Casemiro isolated.<\/p>\n<p>We use your sign-up to provide content in ways you&#8217;ve consented to and to improve our understanding of you.

Sancho played as a makeshift false nine in pre-season and didn\u2019t look out of place in the role, and he looks the next in line to be trialled as a striker given that Anthony Martial played in a behind-closed-doors friendly against Burnley in midweek.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.express.co.uk\/sport\/football\/1806173\/Man-Utd-team-news-Nottingham-Forest-Erik-ten-Hag\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read Full Article<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Football Digest: Analysing Man Utd&#039;s failed recruitment Manchester United were handed their first defeat of the 2023\/24 Premier League season last weekend against Tottenham, and Erik ten Hag will be hoping that his side can bounce back against Nottingham Forest on Saturday.
