United should be achieving more than salvation from a 0-0 draw at Villa, but Ten Hag made some unexpected decisions that paid off

Manchester United have now failed to score a single goal in each of their last three outings, having also been held to a goalless draw at winless Crystal Palace after a 3-0 hammering at home against Tottenham Hotspur last weekend.

Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag said he remained on the same page as the club's senior management team despite the team's worst start in the Premier League era following a 0-0 draw at Aston Villa on Sunday.
