Man Utd fans notice contradictory tactics from Ten Hag in match against Bayern despite his decision to drop Varane
Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag made a surprising tactical decision in last night’s Champions League match against Bayern Munich. The decision seemed to contradict his previous reasoning for dropping Raphael Varane, as the French defender was given his first start in seven weeks. With confusion among fans, Ten Hag’s decision to switch Varane to the left side after previously favoring Jonny Evans for that position has raised questions about his handling of the defense. Despite the outcome of the match and United’s exit from Europe, Ten Hag remains focused on learning from the experience and bringing his team back to the Champions League.
