Although Manchester United have conceded at least 20 shots in nine of their last 10 games in the Premier League, Erik ten Hag has played down the problem.
Only Luton Town (576) have conceded more shots than United (574) and that openness naturally increases the opposition's chances of finding the back of the net.

The points were shared and the result meant United have four points fewer after 32 games this season than they did under David Moyes in 2013/14, which is damning.

And after the game, right-back Diogo Dalot spoke to the Manchester Evening News and was asked about the worrying rate of chances United have conceded this season.
Unlike his manager, he admitted it was a problem. Interestingly, the full-back also highlighted the space between the defensive line midfield as an issue that needed to be solved.
"I think it’s a fact, something we are looking for. Maybe we are taking too many risks, sometimes the gap between the defence and midfield is a little bit too big," said Dalot.
"This is why we are sometimes getting the counter-attacks too many times and are conceding too many shots, but overall we are looking forward to taking this as a learning process and trying to do better.
“I’m disappointed. We wanted to come here and get the three points. We were down
