The Man Utd manager has made an effort to get the most out of a player with whom Jose Mourinho did not always agree during his tenure at Old Trafford. Erik ten Hag now has Man Utd operating like a well-oiled machine after a shaky start and has the Red Devils currently sat in the much-coveted fourth-placed position.
