Erik ten Hag set to move another Man Utd star on after dressing room row before Brentford debacle Erik ten Hag set to move another Man Utd star on after dressing room row before Brentford debacle According to reports, the Tunisian international is set to join the Championship club on a season-long loan.

United's problems have been laid bare in their opening two games of the season, and the club need to finally change their approach.

If this is to prove to be the start of a revival at Old Trafford, it’s time for the club to finally make some decisions when it matters. It’s time for the club to finally take some decisive action, and show some genuine attempts at turning things around. A lack of quality across the pitch has not been properly addressed by the club, despite Erik ten Hag signing Tyrell Malacia, Lisandro Martinez and Christian Eriksen.

Manchester United manager, Erik ten Hag has told his players to buckle up for the challenges ahead and stop feeling sorry for their woeful.

'The Debate' usually airs on a Monday, and involves former Man Utd players discussing the club's fortunes. The result followed a 2-1 home defeat against Brighton in Ten Hag's first league game in charge, and left United rock bottom of the table.

The ex-Real Madrid man eats alone at lunch, while the bulk of his interaction with players in training appears to be when he is allegedly arguing against Ten Hag's tactics. There were doubts from the moment Ten Hag was appointed as to whether Ronaldo could be deployed up front in the kind of system the Dutchman wants to use. Ronaldo was dropped from the first before being introduced at half-time, while he played the full 90 in the second.

And it appears he’s doing so again, with Glazer unwilling to listen to offers for the Portugal captain. However, Ronaldo’s mood since returning to the club just over a fortnight ago has been sour and Ten Hag feels he’s been a disruption to his plans. Erik ten Hag and Joel Glazer are at odds over Cristiano Ronaldo’s future, with the pair disagreeing over whether the club should sell the Manchester United forward.

No one would have predicted that Manchester United will lose scandalously to Brighton and Brentford after their impressive outing in pre-season. Those two.

William Saliba who has returned from his loan spell at Marseille has also been very impressive at the back, forging a very formidable partnership with Gabriel. I really see the Gunners finishing in the top four this season if they can find a way to sustain their early season momentum. I still see Liverpool as Manchester City’s main rival for the title. They need to be booted out for a well-meaning owner to come in and take charge.

Erik ten Hag's patience with Cristiano Ronaldo has finally snapped after the Manchester United boss "shifted his stance" on the striker's request to leave.

A deal though will not be easy to conclude with just two weeks of the window remaining. The report claims that Ten Hag was “unhappy” with Ronaldo’s “behaviour around the squad and motivation to see the club succeed this season”. As per the source, United continue to insist that Ronaldo is not for sale. Ronaldo’s agent Jorge Mendes has been working all summer to try and seal a transfer. Ronaldo’s desire to leave United was made clear at the start of the summer. So much so that the Portugal star has been involved in both of United’s Premier league games despite missing the pre-season tour to Asia and Australia.

Erik ten Hag and Joel Glazer could be on a collision course over the future of Cristiano Ronaldo, as the Manchester United co-owner has no appetite to sell ...

Ronaldo has made it clear that he would like to quit Old Trafford this summer in the wake of the club's disastrous Premier League campaign last year. However, Martial's stock has significantly fallen since then - and the French striker was expected to be shipped out on a permanent basis this summer after he joined Sevilla on a six-month loan in January. But after a disappointing stint in La Liga, where he failed to find the net in nine league games, Martial has made the most of a surprise opportunity to salvage his Manchester United career under Ten Hag. However, a new report from The Manchester Evening News has claimed that Glazer is against the idea of cashing in on United's talisman - and that could lead to Ronaldo staying at Old Trafford beyond the summer transfer window despite Ten Hag's wishes.

Cunha’s playing time has been limited in Spain and he’s now reportedly the subject of interest from United. According to talkSPORT, the Reds are closing in on a deal to sign the Brazilian. The latest forward to be linked with a move to Old Trafford is Atletico Madrid star Matheus Cunha – who only joined the Spanish giants in 2021.

Manchester United are considering a £45m move for Atletico Madrid striker Matheus Cunha, the Daily Mail reports.

Paper Round’s view: No real surprise to see Ten Hag change his mind, but you would imagine it will take more than Cunha to make up for Ronaldo’s departure. Erik ten Hag has performed a U-turn over his Cristiano Ronaldo stance and is willing to facilitate the forward’s move away from Manchester United,the Times reports. Paper Round’s view: There has been a positive response from United fans following news of this potential transfer, and that perhaps tells you all you need to know.

He would also provide an answer to United's issues on the flanks. Wolves are set to break their transfer record with the signing of midfielder Matheus Nunes, while they have also spent big on Goncalo Guedes and Nathan Collins so far this summer. Other strikers, including Jamie Vardy - as 90min reported at the start of August - and Stuttgart's Sasa Kalajdzic, have also been considered. PSV's Cody Gakpo has been of some interest too while United have also been offered Wolves attacker Pedro Neto - who is a client of Ronaldo's agent Jorge Mendes. The volume of square pegs in round holes has been obvious for most to see in Ten Hag's early matches in charge, and he labelled his players as "naive" in his post match press conference following the 4-0 loss last time out. The unsettled Cristiano Ronaldo could be allowed to leave the club before the transfer window closes, and United have been looking at a number of solutions to replace him should he depart - with the Portuguese and his camp pushing for United to let him join a Champions League club.

Rio Ferdinand has delivered his verdict on what Erik ten Hag must be thinking about his Man United squad.

Signings have been hard to come by at Old Trafford this summer, with United landing just three new players so far. Defeat in the capital means that Ten Hag has lost his opening two matches, leaving United bottom of the Premier League table. The Reds were blown away by the Bees, leaving Ten Hag with no choice but to make three substitutions at half-time, even though he admitted that he could have made more.

Led by former Red Devils striker Robin van Persie, the Dutchman helped put the Amsterdam team to the sword with two goals in a 6-2 mauling. However, one moment that probably should be kept quiet is the utter dismantling at the hands of PSV Eindhoven back in 2017. It convinced Manchester United he was the man to lead them into the next era and hopefully guarantee some trophies.

The first couple of games of Erik ten Hag's reign have highlighted just how far off Man Utd are from implementing his vision. Here are five barriers off the ...

The player we all know he wants is Frenkie De Jong. Ten Hag wants the Holland star, his former charge at Ajax, to pull United’s strings. But if Ten Hag, because of his keeper and Maguire, feels he has no choice but to compromise and play deeper, it does become a concern because teams will target the new boy, just as Brentford did. Obviously, here in week 427 of the De Jong saga, it’s proven to be a plan with some very obvious flaws. But let’s say that Ten Hag finally gets his man in the next fortnight – he almost certainly won’t, but come with me – who does he play with? When it comes to the main part of his job – keeping the ball out of the net – De Gea’s style also contrasts with what Ten Hag needs. If his keeper isn’t a willing sweeper, it leaves a lot of ground to cover behind the centre-backs. It’s been 10 years since United hand-picked De Gea when a large part of the attraction to a waifish teenager was his ability in possession. We’ve picked out five – for now – barriers between Ten Hag and the vision he has for United. Christian Eriksen was clearly in no position to receive it and the obvious pass was a longer one into an attacker while the full-backs were pushed on, having taken out the first line of the Brentford press. “We want to play a proactive style of football, on the ball and off the ball,” Ten Hag said in an interview with United’s website shortly after taking over. We know from his time at Ajax that he likes to play on-the-front-foot, attacking football, collectively pressing from the front, with a high defensive line. The evidence of the first two games highlights just how much work the manager has to do.

Erik ten Hag wants Cristiano Ronaldo to leave Manchester United. The Glazers want him to stay.

At 25, and with five seasons in the Premier League, he would slot it seamlessly at United. United's former interim boss Ralf Rangnick recommended Laimer to the club before he was jettisoned after his unsuccessful spell in charge.

So far, Ten Hag has only been given centre-back Lisandro Martinez, left-back Tyrell Malacia and midfielder Christian Eriksen. More so, the Cristiano Ronaldo saga. Furthermore, it would leave Ten Hag with just three senior attacking options in Jadon Sancho, Marcus Rashford and Anthony Martial, though the latter has missed the opening two games of the season due to a hamstring injury.

ERIK TEN HAG may have to rely on external factors if he is to reunite with another former Ajar star at Manchester United.

Ten Hag could lose even more of his attacking threat if Cristiano Ronaldo gets his wish and moves to a Champions League club. Ten Hag reportedly had to convince the United board that Ziyech would be a good fit at Old Trafford after an initial period of disagreement. The campaign's first two matches against Brighton and Brentford were clear indications that more needs to be done as the 13-time Premier League champions sit bottom of the table.

Ten Hag is interested in a move for the Chelsea winger and it is clear to see why he wants a reunion at Man United.

But at the same time, it could be his own words that have prompted the board to step in and block the transfer from going ahead. That is not to say that Ten Hag has given up on the player and his comments during their time together at Ajax show exactly why he wants to reunite with Ziyech. Speaking to Dutch Soccer Site in 2019 while at Ajax, Ten Hag said: "Hakim [Ziyech], the classic individualist, in the good sense of the word.

Erik ten Hag is believed to want Manchester United higher-ups to complete the signing of Hakim Ziyech from Chelsea.

With the Italian giants' offer in mind and CIES Football Observatory valuing the winger at £25.3million, [United](https://www.football.london/all-about/manchester-united) could - naturally - be ushered into paying a steep fee by buying from a Premier League rival.

He won't be happy with the start he has made, but there is plenty of time for improvement. The United centre-back, drafted in from Ajax for more than £50million, has experienced a difficult start to life in the Premier League and was chewed up and spat back out by Brentford, resulting in [Erik ten Hag](https://www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk/all-about/erik-ten-hag) being left with no choice but to take him off at half-time at the Gtech Community Stadium. United struggled to maintain a consistent backline last season, with injuries, illness and suspension issues often robbing them of any continuity. Varane, despite his injury struggles last season, is the best defender at the club. Signed 12 months ago to bring a world-class presence to United's backline, he has been left out of the opening two starting line-ups in favour of a centre-back whose CV is far inferior. The Palace defender had not left Nunez alone all night, resulting in the 23-year-old loosing his cool and leaving Liverpool an attacker light for their short trip along the M62 in just under a week's time.

MANCHESTER UNITED have wrestled with the issue of Cristiano Ronaldo's future over the past few weeks.

We have to stick to the plan and from the first start we have to switch on and that’s what we didn’t do. [reports](https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/62559698) that other senior figures at United are coming around to the idea of selling the 37-year-old this summer. Ronaldo has appeared in each of United's first two Premier League matches this campaign, despite missing almost the entirety of Ten Hag's pre-season due to a personal issue. Atletico Madrid would appear to be the most realistic option remaining after Bayern Munich and Chelsea distanced themselves from a potential deal. That stance may be per the instructions of Glazer, however, who is thought to be keen on keeping Ronaldo at Old Trafford. While the latter is supposedly keen to keep hold of the veteran, who is one of the most recognisable footballers on the planet, the new manager has been open to the idea of cutting him loose for 'weeks'.

New Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag is the latest person the Red Devils have turned to in an attempt to reverse their form and fortunes.

Ten Hag would end up winning three Eredivisie titles with the Dutch giants and famously guided them to the UEFA Champions League semi-finals in 2018/19. Ten Hag then won his first game with Ajax 2-0 and wouldn't lose until his eighth match in his first season in the dugout of the Amsterdam giants. Ten Hag won his first ever match as a manager with Go Ahead Eagles 2-0 and wouldn't lose until his fifth game in charge. In 2015, Ten Hag was then offered the manager role at Utrecht, a club he guided to fifth and fourth-place finishes in the Eredivisie. Ten Hag's first experience as manager came with Go Ahead Eagles in 2012/13 and he guided them back to Dutch top-flight for the first time in 17 years. New Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag is the latest hire made by the Red Devils in an attempt to reverse the team's form and fortunes.

MANCHESTER UNITED are eyeing a move for a player who has been likened to Liverpool's Roberto Firmino.

However, having struck just seven goals in 38 appearances for Diego Simeone's side, another move could well be in the offing - this time to Old Trafford. Having endured a demoralising summer on the transfer front too, the Red Devils are now understood to be closing in on Atletico attacker Cunha. The Brazilian attacker has previously drawn comparisons to Roberto Firmino and, should he seal a £42million move to Old Trafford, United fans will be hoping the 23-year-old can have a similar impact to that of his Brazilian compatriot over at [Liverpool](/latest/liverpool-fc).
