Man Utd signed tenacious midfielder Sofyan Amrabat on deadline day and he could play a role for Erik ten Hag during his loan spell.
It's been another difficult week for Manchester United off the pitch, but on it there remains the sense things just aren't clicking for Erik ten Hag's squad either in the early days of the campaign, despite some improvements in the late defeat at Arsenal.
And that is where a lot of this season's struggles are centred at the moment. United have become a more aggressive pressing team this season, playing a much higher line, but their desire to dominate has damaged a defensive record that was the bedrock of their success last season.After four games, the balance isn't quite there.
It can be summed up by the statistics. In their 62 games in all competitions last season, on 20 occasions United kept the opposition to an expected goals tally of less than one. In four Premier League games so far this season, it has been at least 1.2 , and up at 2.2 against Wolves and 2.3 against Arsenal, while Tottenham hit 1.7.
But very few elite teams enjoy success when games turn into an end-to-end shootout. What Ten Hag really wants is control and at the moment that is missing from United's game. It feels like they might need to recapture that form to stop the Seagulls at Old Trafford. If United continue to give up chances at the rate they have been doing they will struggle this season.
