The Casemiro effect, David De Gea's return to form is going under the radar and Aaron Wan-Bissaka's surprise revival... How Manchester United became a defensive unit under Erik ten Hag after amassing the joint-second most clean sheets in Europe

What a turn of events, Manchester United's defence has gone from a topic of debate to amassing the joint-second most clean sheets in all of Europe this season.

The Red Devils have now picked up 15 clean sheets in 27 games so far this campaign, meaning they are joint with Spanish giants Barcelona and just one behind Premier League rivals Newcastle United – who lead the list with 16.

That statistic has arguably gone under the radar, but should be a huge testament to the impact that new boss Erik ten Hag has already instilled since arriving at Old Trafford in the summer.
