Owen Hargreaves praises Erik ten Hag for his ruthless changes at Old Trafford... as he warns Man United's stars that they simply 'won't play' if they don't perform for the Dutchman

Owen Hargreaves has been impressed by Erik ten Hag's ruthless streak since he arrived at Manchester United in the summer.

Ten Hag has seen his team lose four times already this season, and he has not been afraid to ring the changes between matches to try to find the right balance for his side.

He has already dropped Cristiano Ronaldo and Harry Maguire in the opening weeks of the season, and he has been happy to bring off high-profile players during games as well.
