CHRIS WHEELER: Erik ten Hag has revived Manchester United in the space of just a few weeks

Daily Mail  

The mood at Manchester United has swung dramatically from one of despair after losing the opening two games to wild optimism following four wins in a row. The last two matches at Old Trafford have brought rousing victories over Liverpool and league leaders Arsenal, hauling Erik ten Hag’s side away from the foot of the Premier League table and into fifth place. Erik ten Hag's Manchester United now sit fifth in the Premier League after their woeful start RUNNING MEN The most damning aspect of United’s wretched start to the season was the fact Ten Hag’s side ran eight-and-a-half miles less than Brentford as they were humiliated 4-0. Lisandro Martinez has been excellent at centre back since United 's 4-0 to Brentford FIGHT CLUB A lack of physicality and fight was one of the weaknesses highlighted by interim manager Ralf Rangnick last season, and it contributed to the defeats by Brighton and Brentford in Ten Hag’s first two games. After shipping six goals in those opening two games, Ten Hag’s side have conceded just two in the last four outings.
