Naming a strong starting 11, which includes new signing Antony, as well as five-time Ballon d’Or winner Cristiano Ronaldo, ten Hag has raised a few eyebrows with just how aggressive his team selection is.
However, given the fact that after tonight’s game the Red Devils will not play again until October 2, the risks are relatively low, and speaking before the match, the 52-year-old admitted that this team, considering all the players he has available to him, are in fact, his best side.
