Manchester United have had very difficult days, since they lost the Manchester derby in a disastrous way, many fans have questioned the approach that Erik ten Hag has had, pointing out that it is very repetitive that style that in other games worked for them, even in the coach's own words he said that they were too confident because they beat Liverpool and the leader, Arsenal.

It has been a week that has started with a lesson for Pep Guardiola and the reigning Premier League champions, a sign that the teams coming in on a similar positive run were not at the same level and many issues within the squad would have to be worked on. Plus the untimely injury to French central defender Raphael Varane.

Erik ten Hag in favor of competitiveness and does not use Casemiro

They travelled to Cyprus for the Europa League match, where despite being under a lot of pressure they were able to handle a game against, despite making many mistakes, and one of them ending in the first partial goal of the rivals, Omonia were inspired from the moment they scored that goal that gave them the momentary victory.

It was there where the character of the team, and all that media pressure that surrounds the Red Devils had to be reversed, an adverse situation in an unfamiliar field for this club, everyone was expectant of what would happen to the club, Cristiano and Casemiro were starting and there was no response from the England team.

Until it was decision time at half time, Erik ten Hag took the risk of two changes that completely changed the situation for the team. He brought on Shaw for Malacia, who had made a mistake on the home team's first goal, and also swapped Sancho for Rashford to start the second half with two strikers, a move that helped Cristiano open up space for Rashford to equalise.

Erik ten Hag identified what changes to make and with all the pressure he triumphed

After a few minutes he brought on Anthony Martial who in one of his first moves scored the second goal, the players were confident after taking the lead, the third goal came from a cross shot by Cristiano Ronaldo which was assisted by Rashford, thus getting his brace and putting the game into a bigger lead. In the end Omonia would pull a goal back and it would be victory for the Red Devils who knew how to perform.
