5. Erik ten Hag’s Selection Headache
Erik ten Hag’s squad selections have become increasingly unpredictable this season, partly due to injuries and fluctuating player form.
Struggling to establish a consistent starting eleven, ten Hag resorted to an unusual lineup against Fenerbahce, playing Noussair Mazraoui in the number 10 role – a choice that raised eyebrows.
Although Mazraoui has some experience in that position, it shifted Lisandro Martinez from his natural role and left United lacking drive in attack.
This unusual setup also cast doubt on ten Hag’s trust in other options, such as Amad Diallo, who was left on the bench.
Ten Hag’s selection decisions seem to reflect a sense of urgency, if not desperation, as he searches for a breakthrough amid a season marred by setbacks.
