Erik ten Hag has made Manchester United more attacking and it would be working with a goalscorer

The first three games of the season have posed as many problems as they've delivered solutions for Manchester United, but Erik ten Hag believes it is teething troubles rather than anything more serious, which is good news for anyone who has enjoyed the entertainment served up so far.

Six points from their first three games is an encouraging start for United, but the performances haven't been convincing and next weekend's trip to Arsenal feels like a bellwether for how we will judge the first section of the season.

The Gunners haven't set the league alight either, but one phrase from the Match of the Day analysis after the win against Forest on Saturday reveals why there is some trepidation at what awaits in north London. "They're too easy to play against still."

That the assessment came from Danny Murphy will be enough for plenty of United fans to shrug it off, but it is not without substance. It feels like they are yet to get the balance right this season, but Ten Hag believes the solution is minor tweaks and a greater understanding of the approach, rather than any major changes.
