06.09.2022 - 17:37 / manchestereveningnews.co.uk
Former Liverpool player Graeme Souness has suggested that Manchester United supporters will not stand by Erik ten Hag's 'pragmatic' style for long.
United won their fourth successive match when they defeated Arsenal 3-1 on Sunday afternoon, thanks to a debut goal from Antony and a brace from Marcus Rashford.
Ten Hag's men moved up to fifth in the Premier League table with that win, with United having recorded wins over Liverpool, Southampton and Leicester prior to the triumph at the weekend.

However, Liverpool legend Souness, speaking on talkSPORT, claimed that the Reds were not playing the 'Manchester United way' and questioned Ten Hag's 'pragmatic' approach.
"If you beat Liverpool, everything in the garden seems rosy again," he said. "I think they're playing in a pragmatic way now, they're not playing in the Manchester United way. As long as I've been in football, United play in a certain way [which is] is on the front foot, it's exciting. They're committed to playing that way because it's United, one of, if not the biggest, clubs in the world.
"They've been impressive because they've shown a togetherness to win games and when the going got tough at the start of that second half, they dug in. They conceded one, they were rocking but they got through that and scored a couple of goals on the break."
Souness added: "Going forward. s that how United supporters want their team to play? No. But there's been a bit of a reset to think we have to be different, a bit more cautious, a little bit more pragmatic in the way we want to play. And it's working for them today."
Despite questioning United's style of play under Ten Hag, Souness did praise
