Three selection problems Erik ten Hag doesn't want but definitely has at Manchester United

Almost everything that could have gone wrong for Manchester United so far this season has - on and off the pitch. While the takeover saga continues to rumble on for now, Erik ten Hag's misfiring players have struggled when lacing up their boots.

United have been defeated six times in 11 games across all competitions and are languishing in 10th position after eight matches played in the Premier League.

Two dramatic stoppage-time goals from Scott McTominay settled the scores against Brentford before the international break. However, despite that result, the manager now has three glaring United selection problems even he might not have been planning for.

That might still prove to be the case, but the Cameroon shot-stopper has made several mistakes already and their back-up signing Altay Bayindir is pushing for a starting place between the posts.
