      But it was the star striker’s opener on 34 minutes which sparked outrage among the Red Devils’ faithful when he jumped higher than everyone else to head in Kevin De Bruyne’s corner kick.
      United supporters were incensed with Ten Hag’s decision to have attacking midfielder Eriksen mark the Norway international in such a big match.
      The Denmark international’s marking was so poor it allowed the 22-year-old to escape him with ease and notch his 12th Premier League goal.
      One fan tweeted: “Eriksen marking Haaland has to be one of the most embarrassing decision to come from Man U.”

      A third wrote: “Why the F is Eriksen the one marking F**king Haaland?”

      This supporter stated: “Why is Eriksen marking Haaland in corners? What is Ten Hag smoking?”
      And that one tweeted: “Eriksen marking Haaland on a corner…. What a great idea that is.”

      And according to The Telegraph, incoming boss Ten Hag oversaw a transfer plan that meant the club made sure to recruit “no d*** heads”.
      That was at risk when they registered an interest in ex-Stoke forward Marko Arnautovic, known for his stroppy attitude.
      The strict transfer policy is credited as one of the reasons for Manchester United’s upturn in form.
      The Telegraph also report that Bruno Fernandes, Harry Maguire as well as goalkeepers David de Gea and Tom Heaton have all acted as leaders at United.

      Another factor has been turning off the WiFi in a bid to force players to interact with each other.
      United currently sit sixth, nine points behind leaders Arsenal but with two games in hand.
      It is a good start to the season under Ten Hag but the Dutchman was warned by Pep Guardiola that he must win trophies or else risk being sacked.
      Guardiola said: “If United trust and let him build a team by giving him years and years, that will be welcome. I cannot say anything else.

      “But he knows, I know, everybody knows that we depend on results.
      “I am still here at City because we won in the past. Otherwise I would not be here.
      “Erik knows it – and all the managers no longer there know it. If you cannot win with the big clubs, you don’t get time.
      “If you don’t win then you’re in trouble.”

      And that made him the youngest captain in the history of the German top division.
      Despite not being on the winning side, as Dortmund fell to a 3-2 defeat, Bellingham still managed an assist for the opener.

      Bellingham has also been heavily linked with a move away from the German club.

      United’s rivals improved up front in the summer with Erling Haaland heading to Manchester City, Gabriel Jesus joining Arsenal and Liverpool landing Darwin Nunez from Benfica.
      And Nunez’s replacement Ramos has hit the ground running already this season with eight goals and six assists in 12 matches.
      That included a hat-trick to help the Portuguese giants qualify for the Champions League.
      Ramos is under contract at Benfica until 2025, signing a new deal last year.

      But according to JN in Portugal, United are hopeful of luring him to Old Trafford in January.
      However, they face competition from a number of top European sides including Paris Saint-Germain, Bayern Munich and mega-rich Newcastle – who failed in their pursuit of Ramos in the summer.
      It is said Benfica would want around £35million for the 21-year-old striker.
      United, who did not replace Edinson Cavani, look set to lose Cristiano Ronaldo in 2023 – either in January or at the end of the season – while Marcus Rashford and Anthony Martial have suffered injury and form struggles.

      And Ramos is confident he has everything it takes to be a successful No9 in modern football.
      He said: “Increasingly, more is asked of a spearhead to be more complete.
      “People thought that a striker is only there to score goals and the rest doesn’t matter, but I think that over the last few years that image is disappearing a little bit.
      “It is increasingly important for a striker to be more in the game and contribute more to the team, to connect the game, to put pressure on.
      “Often with movements in which you end up in another position and ask for another type of task.” More

      by

      But he ended up staying put as Bruno Lage’s men clung onto their man despite widespread interest.
      According to Sport, two clubs who were hoping to negotiate with Neves were Man Utd and Liverpool.
      Both sides were in search of options in central midfield over the summer.
      Erik ten Hag was looking to replace the departures of Paul Pogba and Nemanja Matic, while Jurgen Klopp began searching towards the end of the window following injury concerns and poor form.

      However, it is reported that Neves showed very little desire to negotiate with either club.
      This was because he had caught wind of Barcelona’s interest in him.
      The Catalan giants’ financial situation meant they would not be able to sign him in the summer window, but Neves is willing to wait until 2023.
      It is said to be his “dream” move, with Barca seeing the Portuguese international as a suitable replacement to Sergio Busquets – who is set to join Inter Miami at the end of the season.

      Neves joined Wolves from Porto in 2017 for £15.8million – a then-record fee for a second tier English club.
      He helped the Midlands side secure promotion in his first season, playing every game in their Championship-winning campaign.
      And he has gone on to thrive in the Premier League during his four years in the top flight.
      Since joining Wolves, he has scored 25 goals and provided 12 assists in 220 appearances. More
