Erik ten Hag has turned two Manchester United weaknesses into their greatest strengths

Exactly 12 months ago today Manchester United registered their final away win of the 2021/22 season, beating Leeds United 4-2 at Elland Road.

It was a victory that kept them fourth in the table, albeit a whopping 17 points behind leaders Manchester City at the summit.

They won just three more matches before the curtain fell on a forgettable campaign at Selhurst Park on May 22. Twelve months on from that rain-soaked victory in West Yorkshire, United's fortunes and the mood around the whole club could not possibly be any different.

Not only did Sunday's 3-0 win over Leicester City at Old Trafford significantly tighten their grip on a top-four spot, but it also moved them to within five points of league leaders Arsenal and just three points behind City in second.
