They accomplished it, although the absence of two of their regular first-choice back four and Wout Weghorst did not sign in time to play. Former Manchester United defender Gary Neville discussed the change Ten Hag has accomplished at Old Trafford since his appointment last summer on the Gary Neville Podcast.
