Man Utd triumphs over Aston Villa in exciting six-pointer, as Erik ten Hag confronts tough decision.
The Daily and Sunday Express is home to a 21-year-old striker who has scored six goals and provided two assists in his last seven appearances, solidifying his position as the main attacker for Ten Hag’s team. With upcoming matches against Luton Town and Fulham, as well as the FA Cup fifth-round trip to Nottingham Forest, he is poised to continue his impressive run. Another player, a 27-year-old, has scored eight goals this season, making him the second highest scorer after Hojlund’s 11. Though he is no longer a regular starter, he has proven to be a valuable asset coming off the bench.
The fitness of Luke Shaw, a top left-back, is a concern for the team. His recent injury led to the need for a substitute at half-time. With only Diogo Dalot as the sole fit full-back, the team faces a shortage of defensive options. The recent victory at Villa Park was significant for Ten Hag for multiple reasons.
If he wants to maintain a consistently fit core team over the season, he may need to address the left-back position and consider the future of the team’s defensive strategy.
