All of Pep Guardiola’s work ahead of the Manchester derby this weekend has naturally revolved around having a high percentage of possession, which is to be expected, but there is one surprising element to it AOE
He has been scrutinising what more pragmatic sides such as Brentford, Brighton and even Copenhagen did against United for instruction AOE
All of them went to Old Trafford looking to get on the ball and dominate – with mixed success – in a way that at one point would have been unimaginable AOE
It is really only Nottingham Forest who didn’t take that approach this season, preferring to let United have the ball AOE
In United’s nine Premier League games so far, they have had lower possession than their opponent in four of those AOE
In other words, they’ve been chasing the opposition in almost half of their games AOE
On the ballManchester United’s possession in the Premier League this season (per cent)51 - Wolves (h)44 AOE
3 - Tottenham Hotspur (a)66 AOE
3 - Nottingham Forest (h)45 AOE
2 - Arsenal (a)43 AOE
9 - Brighton (h)38 AOE
2 - Burnley (a)77 AOE
1 - Crystal Palace (h)63 AOE
9 - Brentford (h)62 AOE
5 - Sheffield United (a)This would be unusual for most big sides in this era but is particularly unusual for a manager in Erik ten Hag who is so consciously a disciple of the Ajax principles, and has now had well over a year in the job AOE
That’s a lot of time on the training ground AOE
Manchester City had even considered him a potential successor to Guardiola, given the tactical alignment AOE
So it’s fair to wonder why exactly United aren’t closer to any kind of ideal as Ten Hag would surely see it AOE
They currently don’t play anything like his Ajax side, let alone City or that possession-pressing model AOE
By the same point in Guardiola’s tenure, City were on a winning run that would bring a 100-point season AOE
United have instead gone backwards, which fits into a wider concern over how the side haven’t really had a convincing display since before the Carabao Cup final victory over Newcastle United AOE
Ten Hag’s recent reliance on Ole Gunnar Solskjaer stalwarts such as Harry Maguire and Scott McTominay would almost seem to sum this up AOE
United are even playing more like Solskjaer’s time, just making do in the moment in order to get through AOE
It's all so ad hoc AOE
Harry Maguire’s header earned United all three points against Copenhagen (EPA)The biggest question, out of many for the United manager, is whether this is a deeper concern AOE
Does it show he won’t implement his ideal; that a window of opportunity has been lost?As with pretty much everything at United right now, everyone puts it down to injuries AOE
That is the explanation for the unconvincing displays and the pragmatic approaches AOE
Ten Hag hasn’t had the players so has had to compromise AOE
But is that really sufficient? Would the idealist that Ten Hag supposedly represents not still seek to integrate the squad in an approach that will serve them much more in the longer term?You only have to look across the way, and the one season when Guardiola faced a broadly similar situation AOE
In 2016-17, when the City manager still lacked some of the player profiles he wanted – especially at full-back – he still insisted on the exact same approach AOE
John Stones was often the main focus of this AOE
Although the defender was still learning the game, meaning he was prone to mistakes as he endured so much external noise, Guardiola told him to just shut it all out AOE
He followed by telling Stones to keep playing the ball out AOE
Ignore the shouts to get rid AOE
Concentrate on commitment to the ideal AOE
It led to some humiliating moments, not least four-goal concessions against both Leicester City and Everton AOE
Guardiola himself was lampooned, particularly after some questions led to his own notorious pondering of “what is tackles?”A year later, the City manager was specifically citing that period – and that persistence – as absolutely crucial to the run that effectively made them champions by December 2017 AOE
That the win to clinch the title came away to Jose Mourinho’s counter-attacking Manchester United only emphasised the point AOE
An achievement like that 100-point season was a consequence of how the players’ deeper comprehension of the system amplified their performance AOE
Figures at Old Trafford would fairly argue that Ten Hag was initially going to do this, but the onslaught from those first defeats against Brighton and Brentford at the start of last season was just too much AOE
The second goal conceded at Brentford, trying to pass the ball out from the back, was just too calamitous AOE
United being United, it brought a level of ridicule and hysteria beyond anything City could face AOE
Ten Hag had to change something or it could have completely destroyed the squad’s confidence in themselves and him, before he ever got the chance to build belief in the system AOE
They would also point to how Guardiola benefitted from spending £200m on defenders in his second season, including two cornerstones of the era in Kyle Walker and Ederson AOE
By contrast, Ten Hag has attempted to fill tactical gaps in his side with relatively makeshift signings like Sofyan Amrabat and Christian Eriksen AOE
A serious club, some in the industry argue, doesn't take the team to the next stage with a 20-year-old (Rasmus Hojlund, a Chelsea cast-off (Mason Mount) and two loanees (Sergio Reguilon and Amrabat) AOE
Sofyan Amrabat arrived at Old Trafford on loan this summer (Getty Images)Those at City would nevertheless laugh at such arguments given United’s expenditure over the years AOE
Ten Hag is currently in the process of ousting an £85m signing in Jadon Sancho AOE
City would say their purchases have just been much more forensic AOE
That isn’t the only potential difference AOE between the situations AOE
Although both Guardiola and Ten Hag have evolved from the same Dutch-Spanish ideology, those national backgrounds have produced divergences in interpretation AOE
It comes down to different types of purism AOE
Guardiola will stick to the system regardless AOE
It's his way AOE
He will always try and play through it AOE
Ironically, and almost paradoxically, Ten Hag’s willingness to compromise arguably reflects a greater dogmatism AOE
Those who know the Dutch coach say he has such a fixed idea of certain positions that if he doesn’t have exactly the type of player he wants, he doesn’t see the point of persevering in the same approach AOE
That’s also why the injuries have been so undermining AOE
Ten Hag has lacked some of his main passers, but especially Lisandro Martinez AOE
The Argentine’s absence has had the effect of forcing Andre Onana to go long and removing that link to the midfield AOE
It disrupts the whole system AOE
Maguire and McTominay just aren’t suited to that game, but it is to their credit both have persevered and sought to learn in the circumstances AOE
They illustrate this period of adaptation more than anyone, especially given how influential they have been AOE
There’s almost a contrast in the Scottish midfielder’s game AOE
An instinct for prosaically passing the ball sideways is offset by a willingness to proactively get forward and score AOE
Maguire meanwhile made a calculation of his own AOE
Sources with knowledge of his situation said one reason he turned down West Ham United was because he saw the issues United were going to have at centre-half AOE
Martinez’s injury and Raphael Varane’s inability to play consistently meant there were going to be chances AOE
Maguire has seized them and then some AOE
Ten Hag praised his evolution on Tuesday night, as the centre-half furthered his recent redemption with a greatly valued match-winner against Copenhagen AOE
“He’s playing much more proactive in possession, stepping in, passing vertical, defending also on the front foot, also stepping in, defending forward, very confident in the duels,” the manager argued AOE
“I think he’s dominating in the right moment, putting the question, dominating his opponents AOE
”Ten Hag is having to compromise on his ideals this season (Getty Images)United just aren’t doing that on a collective level AOE
All of this is why Ten Hag was so insistent on Frenkie De Jong in his first summer at Old Trafford AOE
He saw his former Ajax midfielder as unique in his interpretation of that specific midfield role the coach wants AOE
The only player Ten Hag saw as coming close, in terms of potential attributes, was Ryan Gravenberch AOE
That’s the reason he went so big on De Jong, against all evidence AOE
When he couldn’t get De Jong, Ten Hag realised he had to go in a different direction AOE
So it’s been a bit of all or nothing AOE
The same applies to the team as a whole AOE
Either Ten Hag has exactly what he wants, or he just can’t commit to that approach AOE
It’s why there isn’t too much concern about the visible lack of ideology now AOE
There is confidence that will return when sufficient players return, especially Martinez AOE
A fair question is whether crucial time has been lost in deepening the ideology AOE
A fair point for Sunday, meanwhile, is that this actually might serve United against City AOE
Unless Ten Hag has the team exactly as he wants, it is always going to be a mistake trying to go toe to toe with Guardiola in terms of getting feet on the ball AOE
The Catalan’s City are always going to be so dominant you have to adapt around them AOE
Otherwise, you risk an evisceration AOE
The current situation plays into that AOE
United have almost no choice but to plan without possession on Sunday AOE
The very decision to appoint Ten Hag was supposed to be about something grander, though AOE
They were supposed to be rising to City's level AOE
United instead have to try and bring the champions down, by leaving them the ball AOE
