Thanks to Pep Guardiola, Erik ten Hag is well aware of how Manchester United can defeat Manchester City on Sunday.
The first Manchester derby of this season is on Sunday, October 2 at the Etihad Stadium.
Ten Hag will exit the tunnel and experience the most anticipated football match in the city for the first time, thanks to Pep Guardiola
Last season, City defeated United both at home and away, winning 2-0 at Old Trafford and 4-1 at the Etihad Stadium. Ole Gunnar Solskjaer and Ralf Rangnick both left the Reds during that turbulent season.
Ten Hag has infected the club with a fresh spirit of hope. As the Reds have a chance to make it five straight Premier League victories against their rivals this Saturday, United have been a different team under the Dutchman than they were last season, possibly even since the last whistle blew in West London.
The new manager of United has demonstrated his ability to adjust to every opponent when necessary. Ten Hag’s superior match awareness, a crucial talent for any Premier League manager, was evident in the 3-1 victory over Arsenal.
As a result of their inability to stop United’s spectacular counterattack at Old Trafford, Mikel Arteta’s team was put to the test. Due of Marcus Rashford’s quickness, the Gunners were given more space behind their back four.
