Manchester United had a summer full of controversy and moves in the transfer window, the team spent the most on reinforcements in its history, they want to give Erik ten Hag the opportunity to show that they have all their confidence in this coach, who had a great time at Ajax where he gave a great performance in a modest project that was close to playing the final of the Champions League.

The directors know the ability of this coach and see him as the right one to commit to a long-term plan, a situation that would benefit the club with this system of play, despite the few experiences that the coach has, they know that he has the necessary elements to carry the pressure of the bench, even Pep Guardiola referred to him as a successor, and yes, he came to Manchester, but to Old Trafford.

It is one of the many conditions that Manchester United have imposed on him, he has to use the local talent, the youngsters who play in the Man Utd Academy, the boys who are waiting for their chance to show themselves, and now with the Europa League match at Old Trafford it can be used to rest many first team players to be ready for other matches with a higher degree of difficulty, the time has come to experiment with youngsters.
