Looks like United might finally be getting some good news on the injury front:
I'm surprised Bayindir hasn't been given more of a go - wasn't he highly rated at one point?

There’s no obvious candidate to replace him either is there.

That is the biggest red flag they should have.It’d be easier to get behind Ten Hag if their best player in recent months hadn’t been Harry Maguire, who he attempted to freeze out. Meanwhile, there’s a very expensive roster of players that he’s personally picked who are either downgrades or completely anonymous. It just doesn’t suggest a manager who’s making great decisions and I don’t think he could have too many complaints.
I don’t doubt there’s severe problems with the dressing room but to me the biggest problem they have is simply being Manchester United; the best thing for them would be letting things just happen for a few years whilst young players are bought through, they’re clearly there (hey, didn’t a guy at Ajax do that a few years ago?). However, they’re too big to be seen to do that, and so you’ve got this lumbering colossus that has to keep up appearances and buy expensive players to compete when the best thing for it would be to just stop and address the arse falling out of it.
One was a master of his profession. The other is an okay Dutchman.
