'It's not the Man United way': Graeme Souness warns Ten Hag about his 'pragmatic' style of play

Speaking on talkSPORT radio, Graeme Souness said: "Manchester United are dogged, determined, they're showing real spirit, togetherness. I think they're playing in a pragmatic way now, they're not playing in the Man United way.

"As long as I've been in football Man United play a certain way, which is on the front foot, exciting, they are committed to playing that way because it's Man United, one of the biggest if not the biggest football club in the world. 

"Against Arsenal, they dug in and then scored a couple of goals on the break. Going forward, is that how Erik ten Hag wants to play? Is that how Man United supporters want their team to play? No. But there's been a bit of a reset."

For what it's worth, Man United actually more shots at goal than Arsenal on Sunday (6–3) despite the media's attempts to sell the story of Mikel Arteta's dominating at Old Trafford.

We can also be sure that the Red Devils' supporters will accept any style of play from Ten Hag as long as the Dutchman secured a top-four finish and ends the club's five-year trophy drought.
