International break comes at best possible time for Manchester United and Erik ten Hag

With the International break starting four games into the Premier League season, usually, it would usually be a disruption for most managers.

United has already suffered from a growing injury list, with players such as Raphael Varane, Luke Shaw, and Mason Mount, missing the Arsenal game. The United faithful will be hoping that both Varane and Mount will use this two-week break to come back into the squad fully-fit for the home fixture.
