Ten Hag has someone that can 'hold the ball well' in his squad, and it was only when Christian Eriksen came off the bench that United started to exert some level of control - although it was far from perfect. The 31-year-old looked set to take on a more reserved role this season but showed why he is still so important ahead of a return to his former club Tottenham this weekend.
Control and composure in midfield will be crucial for United if they are to get a result at Spurs, and few in the squad have both to the level of Eriksen. He knows all too well how to dictate the tempo of a match, and for all of Mason Mount's qualities, he isn't on the same level in that area.
