MANCHESTER UNITED SUITABILITY- @ThreadmanChaza
I will focus on 3 particular players which I think Ten Hag will like:
- Luke Shaw
- Diogo Dalot
- Bruno Fernandes

LUKE SHAW- PROGRESSIVE PASSES
- For Ajax, Daley Blind often plays the role of deep lying playmaker.
- Luke shaw averages 5.06 progressive passes per game. (85th percentile).

PROGRESSIVE CARRIES
Shaw also averages 2.84 carries into the final 3rd. (98th percentile).
- Ten Hag would like Shaw’s progressive attributes
- Both as a deep lying playmaker
- And as a progressive carrier

DIOGO DALOT
- At Ajax, full-backs often overlap and can provide crosses or cut backs into the box.
- Dalot averages 0.71 crosses into the box (87th percentile), 1.69 passes into penalty area (90th percentile).
- Ten Hag will certainly give Diogo opportunities to shine.

I think many of us are still waiting to see Dalot’s attacking output improve.
However, since Rangnick took over, he has been one of our most progressive players.
As of March 1st 2022, only Bruno (5.9) had averaged more progressive passes than Dalot (5.8) per 90 this season.

BRUNO FERNANDES
His possible role under Ten Hag remains unclear, however I’m confident Ten Hag will play Bruno.
Despite Bruno’s low pass accuracy (73.8%), he’s too good of a creator to be left out of Ten Hag’s plans.
Let’s take a look at a couple of interesting attributes⬇️

Let’s take a look at a couple of interesting attributes⬇️
POSITIONING + MOVEMENT
- Likes to occupy the final 3rd + often runs beyond number 9
- Ten Hag likes his highest number 8 (Berghuis) to create overloads + to pull opposition out of their defensive shape

KEY PASSES
- Ajax’s current highest number 8, Berghuis, averages 2.89 passes into the penalty area per game.
- Bruno currently averages 2.41.
With the key passing ability Bruno has and his runs off the ball, Ten Hag will like him.

An interesting thing to note is that Berghuis and Bruno are not dribblers.
Ten Hag could use Bruno in the same role as Berghuis currently.
Key passes + final third runs are vital from high no.8
This more attacking position is where Donny excelled in the 18/19 season for Ajax.

Shaw, Dalot and Bruno were 3 players I picked out personally.
3 other players I think Ten Hag would deem useful:
• Henderson
• Van de Beek
• Sancho
This is just a hypothesis, even if Ten Hag does come, remember he may have to adapt some tactical elements to suit the PL.
