Manchester United picked up a much-needed confidence boost on Wednesday night with a home win over Chelsea. Erik ten Hag has been battling serious pressure of late, and he will be hoping the win can lead to a change of trajectory for his side, who are not just three points behind Manchester City despite their poor start.

United welcome Bournemouth to Old Trafford this weekend, and they will be expecting to add another three points to their tally. In the meantime, we have rounded up all the latest news and transfer rumours surrounding Old Trafford.

Wright's Ten Hag claim

Arsenal legend Ian Wright believes United have not improved under Ten Hag, telling the Stick to Football podcast, provided by SkyBet: “When I look at the way that Manchester United are playing, you only have to look at the way that Ange [Postecoglou] and the way he’s changed things so quickly [at Spurs], and a pattern of playing and how they want to do certain things – I still haven’t seen that with United at this point in time.

"He’s been there 18 months – we should see a certain way that Man United are playing, they should be controlling and winning games now.” United showed a little more of what Wright believes is missing on Wednesday, but it's going to take consistent results to change the narrative at Old Trafford.
