Jim Ratcliffe’s potential Man Utd investment assessed | Football Digest<\/h3>\n

Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag will be forced to make at least one change from the last-gasp 2-1 win against Brentford last time out against Sheffield United on Saturday night. But the Red Devils boss needs to consider two more to avoid a humiliating result to start the latest block of fixtures at Bramall Lane.<\/p>\n

Ten Hag’s side must kick on after the October international break, having won and lost four of their opening eight Premier League games, leaving them in 10th.<\/p>\n

The Dutchman is under increasing pressure, but a raft of returning players will help his cause and move him closer to fielding his strongest 11 – something he claims he hasn’t had the chance to do since his arrival.<\/p>\n

Express Sport pinpoints three changes Ten Hag needs to put into practice when United face winless Sheffield United this weekend.<\/p>\n

Raphael Varane for Jonny Evans<\/h3>\n

Jonny Evans hasn’t really put a foot wrong with the surprise opportunities he’s received on the back of Raphael Varane and Lisandro Martinez’s injury problems this season.<\/p>\n

But Varane is an upgrade, and he’s now fit again after missing the Brentford win. He is almost certain to return to central defence.<\/p>\n

The Frenchman should be one of two changes from the makeshift defence that faced the Bees, partnering Harry Maguire.<\/p>\n

Sergio Reguilon for Victor Lindelof<\/h3>\n

Yes, that’s right. Harry Maguire. The 30-year-old should keep his place and allow Victor Lindelof, who covered at left-back last time out, to drop to the bench.<\/p>\n

Ten Hag claimed Lindelof was ready to feature after being caught up in the dreadful act of terrorism in Brussels over the international break – a testament to the Sweden star’s character.<\/p>\n

But he should be the one to drop out based on recent form, with Sergio Reguilon’s return to training in the build-up a significant boost. Ten Hag has an actual left-back to choose from, at least.<\/p>\n
