Panic was all over Manchester after back-to-back losses for United to open their EPL campaign, losing 2-1 at home to Brighton and then an ugly 4-0 away loss at Brentford. However, Ten Haag didn't panic, made a few lineup changes, most notably reserving Ronaldo to the bench to be used in a substitute role, and the Red Devils have now won four-straight games.
The run started with a very impressive (and unexpected) 2-1 home win over Liverpool and was capped off this weekend winning 3-1 at home vs Arsenal who was the only remaining EPL side without a draw or a loss on the season.
After losing the xG battle in each of their first two games, United are averaging a +0.39 xG differential in each of their four wins.
