Man Utd news LIVE: Ten Hag can sign 'next Gareth Bale' as star criticised by boss

Express Sport brings you the latest Manchester United news (Image: Getty) Manchester United's faltering start to the Premier League season has piled the pressure on Erik ten Hag to improve results. The Dutch coach will use the international break to devise a plan to get out of a difficult situation. Ten Hag has players returning from injury and he is still bedding in new signings.

INEOS chiefs are reportedly keen to show patience in the 54-year-old but an improvement is badly needed. United can still dip into the transfer market if they believe a free agent can improve Ten Hag's team. Midfielder Adrien Rabiot has previously been linked with Old Trafford and remains without a club after leaving Juventus.

The former midfielder told Sky Sports: “I think that the international break has come at a good time for the manager and team.

“They can focus on some things on the training ground, get some players back fit with no injuries hopefully, and go again. “He’s [Ten Hag] got some winnable games coming up, but at Man United, you are always under pressure, I think Erik ten Hag knows that. “To me, it looks like right down the spine, it looks wide open and people can run right through the middle.

“They’ve brought the new lad {Manuel Ugarte] in. so hopefully he can fill the gap. “We’ve got some very talented players and hopefully we can get them playing the way the manager wants and get some results.

“They’re [Ineos] going to have to bide their time and stick with the manager. If they’re not going to do that, they might as well have got rid of him in the summer.” 45 mins ago 07:40 Sam Smith Matthijs de Ligt faces criticism Man Utd star Matthijs de Ligt was criticised by Ronald Koeman after making two mistakes in the Netherlands’ 5-2 win over Bosnia.

De Ligt played Ermedin Demirovic onside for Bosnia’s first goal and was then caught ball-watching as Edin Dzeko struck a second. Luckily, the Dutch were dominant and put five past their opponents. Joshua Zirkzee got on the scoresheet.

But Koeman was unhappy with some of the errors and said: “Xavi Simons should have done better. He was marking their left midfielder and suddenly walked away from him. “Of course, the centre-backs are positioning themselves wrong too.

” Pressed specifically on De Ligt, the Dutch boss added: “He himself realises that he was in the wrong position. “This should not happen, but mistakes are part of football. I think it is unfair to make a big deal out of it.

The 19-year-old scored 47 seconds into his international debut for Denmark against Switzerland earlier this week. Dorgu is often deployed at left-back but sometimes plays further forward.

His impact after moving further up the pitch has prompted comparisons with Gareth Bale. According to HITC , United have pushed plans to sign Dorgu to January after a busy summer transfer window. They will face strong competition from some of their Premier League rivals, though.
