Erik ten Hag previews Man City clash<\/h3>\n

Erik ten Hag has insisted that there is ‘no truth’ to Jamie Carragher’s recent claims that Manchester United have gone backwards under the Dutchman’s guidance. The Red Devils have endured a turbulent start to the campaign, losing four of their opening nine Premier League games, but are currently on a three-match winning streak in all competitions.<\/p>\n

United have also lost two of their Champions League group stage matches, leaving them with plenty of work to do to reach the latter stages of the tournament. Their patchy form recently prompted Carragher to state that United are going backwards under Ten Hag’s leadership, which has not gone down too well with the manager himself.<\/p>\n

Carragher wrote in his latest Telegraph column: “Manchester United resemble a team reaching the end of a cycle, not one still rebuilding under a relatively new manager. Despite winning their last three games, the football is stale and the symptoms of regression are visible.<\/p>\n

“There is a lack of style and panache, few of Erik ten Hag\u2019s signings are consistently performing, and players such as Harry Maguire and Scott McTominay, who the manager was willing to discard last summer for the right price, are back in favour. United are in an unfulfilling holding pattern, seeking to eke out results and get by before their next refresh.”<\/p>\n

Ten Hag was quick to deny Carragher’s assessment when the claims were put to him, saying: “I have said that in possession we have to do better, but there are reasons for that. It is something I am not going into, but everyone can see why.<\/p>\n

“There are also facts so I disagree [with Carragher]. We are much better [than last season]. We are top Premier League in high-ball regains, we are top Premier League in middle-ball regains, so our pressing is always very good. So there is no truth in what he [Carragher] is saying.”<\/p>\n
