The Ten Hag X-Factor

Malacia, Eriksen and Martinez Make their Man U Debuts

Erik ten Hag is the new head coach for Manchester United. The 52 year-old former Dutch player will likely line up his new recruits Malacia, Eriksen and Martinez as well as (possibly) his squad of young guns, Charlie Savage and Zidane Iqbal, for who an appearance would mark the first EPL game of their young careers.

The big question remains whether Cristiano Ronaldo will start as he played only one single game during the pre-season. If he doesn’t, next up in line would be Frenchman Anthony Martial.

Our prediction for this Manchester United v. Brighton game is a conservative win of 2-1 for Manchester United.
