5 games, 5 wins: stats prove Erik ten Hag has found his perfect defence

Manchester United bounced back from the Real Sociedad defeat with a 2–0 win against Sheriff Tiraspol on Thursday.

Erik ten Hag returned to the back five of David De Gea, Diogo Dalot, Raphael Varane, Lisandro Martinez and Tyrell Malacia in the Europa League.

And the players showed the manager that he should stick with them for the upcoming games by keeping a clean sheet and helping the Red Devils to secure the vital three points.

Man United's results this season when De Gea, Dalot, Varane, Martinez and Malacia start together:

5 games

5 wins

2 goals conceded

Man United return to action with a trip to Manchester City in the Premier League on October 2 and Ten Hag should stick with the same back five bar an unexpected injury after the international break.
