That helps to explain why the Spain international goalkeeper has a lowly passing accuracy of just 61.6 per cent in his Premier League career. One obvious shift that could emerge is in how United attempt to build from the back. Only Guardiola's Manchester City had more possession than Ten Hag's Ajax of any team in the top seven domestic leagues in Europe last season. Expect the opposition passes allowed per defensive action metric to reveal a change. That was more than in any Premier League game of the previous season. It is destined to dominate the discourse with Ten Hag. How much of it will be needed? But they also had 76.9 per cent of the possession in that match.

But even then, it was easy to see the team was being transformed. As Neville suggests, with two teams operating at such a high level right now, the Premier League would appear out of reach even if the new United manager gets everything right. Perhaps it was the 4-0 defeat to Everton in January 2017 when his team looked beaten, bullied and broken at Goodison Park. That left them fifth in the Premier League table after 21 games.
