5. Managerial battle
During the match, Erik ten Hag and assistant coach Ruud van Nistelrooy were seen having a heated exchange on the touchline, sparking speculation about tension between the two.
We recently exclusively revealed that Ruud van Nistelrooy is being lined up as a potential interim replacement if ten Hag is sacked.
The interaction at Villa Park certainly raised concerns over their relationship.
However, this moment seems to have been blown out of proportion.
It’s more likely that the two were simply engaged in a passionate discussion about tactical adjustments during the game.
Despite the rumours, there’s no concrete evidence of any deeper rift, and they appear to be working together to steer United forward.
Whether van Nistelrooy will get the job in this international break or ten Hag continues for the foreseeable future remains to be seen.
