Erik ten Hag will face his biggest challenge with Manchester United in the upcoming days

Manchester United got the three points this weekend away from home and their situation is improving day by day. Given this, Ten Hag's guarantee of improving results at Old Trafford is improving little by little. The team triumphed away from home against Sheffield United in a match that was far from easy. The Red Devils faced an opponent that looked like it would be a pure transition match.

It should be noted that Sheffield is in last place in the table and is one of the main candidates for relegation. Nonetheless, the team played a great game and made things difficult for United on more than one occasion. Even Ten Hag himself said a day before the match that all the games of the current campaign are complicated. Without a doubt, it was a clear message to his players not to be complacent.

Similarly, United has won two games in a row. A brace from Scott McTominay in the last minutes against Brentford, gave the team the victory and they were the winners in the final stages of the match. On the other hand, the match left the squad calm and the FIFA International Break served as a distraction for the team to go quietly to play international commitments.

With two games in a row with a win, the tense situation is starting to disappear from Manchester. However, at the moment the team's takeover situation has not been resolved. According to national and international media, everything seems to indicate that Sir Jim Ratcliffe will be in charge of taking a 25% stake of the team. Nevertheless, this is not the most difficult mission that United have at the moment.

The most important challenge for this season

Undoubtedly, at the weekend, Erik ten Hag will face his first biggest challenge this season. The team will face reigning champions Manchester City in a duel that arouses a lot of emotions. For many years, the neighbours have dominated the Premier League and the Old Trafford side. For this reason, it will be an extremely interesting meeting that will take place from the Theatre of Dreams
