All of Pep Guardiola’s work ahead of the Manchester derby this weekend has naturally revolved around having a high percentage of possession, which is to be expected, but there is one surprising element to it paymaya

He has been scrutinising what more pragmatic sides such as Brentford, Brighton and even Copenhagen did against United for instruction paymaya

All of them went to Old Trafford looking to get on the ball and dominate – with mixed success – in a way that at one point would have been unimaginable paymaya

It is really only Nottingham Forest who didn’t take that approach this season, preferring to let United have the ball paymaya

In United’s nine Premier League games so far, they have had lower possession than their opponent in four of those paymaya

In other words, they’ve been chasing the opposition in almost half of their games paymaya

On the ballManchester United’s possession in the Premier League this season (per cent)51 - Wolves (h)44 paymaya

3 - Tottenham Hotspur (a)66 paymaya

3 - Nottingham Forest (h)45 paymaya

2 - Arsenal (a)43 paymaya

9 - Brighton (h)38 paymaya

2 - Burnley (a)77 paymaya

1 - Crystal Palace (h)63 paymaya

9 - Brentford (h)62 paymaya

5 - Sheffield United (a)This would be unusual for most big sides in this era but is particularly unusual for a manager in Erik ten Hag who is so consciously a disciple of the Ajax principles, and has now had well over a year in the job paymaya

That’s a lot of time on the training ground paymaya

Manchester City had even considered him a potential successor to Guardiola, given the tactical alignment paymaya

So it’s fair to wonder why exactly United aren’t closer to any kind of ideal as Ten Hag would surely see it paymaya

They currently don’t play anything like his Ajax side, let alone City or that possession-pressing model paymaya

By the same point in Guardiola’s tenure, City were on a winning run that would bring a 100-point season paymaya

United have instead gone backwards, which fits into a wider concern over how the side haven’t really had a convincing display since before the Carabao Cup final victory over Newcastle United paymaya

Ten Hag’s recent reliance on Ole Gunnar Solskjaer stalwarts such as Harry Maguire and Scott McTominay would almost seem to sum this up paymaya

United are even playing more like Solskjaer’s time, just making do in the moment in order to get through paymaya

It's all so ad hoc paymaya

Harry Maguire’s header earned United all three points against Copenhagen (EPA)The biggest question, out of many for the United manager, is whether this is a deeper concern paymaya

Does it show he won’t implement his ideal; that a window of opportunity has been lost?As with pretty much everything at United right now, everyone puts it down to injuries paymaya

That is the explanation for the unconvincing displays and the pragmatic approaches paymaya

Ten Hag hasn’t had the players so has had to compromise paymaya

But is that really sufficient? Would the idealist that Ten Hag supposedly represents not still seek to integrate the squad in an approach that will serve them much more in the longer term?You only have to look across the way, and the one season when Guardiola faced a broadly similar situation paymaya

In 2016-17, when the City manager still lacked some of the player profiles he wanted – especially at full-back – he still insisted on the exact same approach paymaya

John Stones was often the main focus of this paymaya

Although the defender was still learning the game, meaning he was prone to mistakes as he endured so much external noise, Guardiola told him to just shut it all out paymaya

He followed by telling Stones to keep playing the ball out paymaya

Ignore the shouts to get rid paymaya

Concentrate on commitment to the ideal paymaya

It led to some humiliating moments, not least four-goal concessions against both Leicester City and Everton paymaya

Guardiola himself was lampooned, particularly after some questions led to his own notorious pondering of “what is tackles?”A year later, the City manager was specifically citing that period – and that persistence – as absolutely crucial to the run that effectively made them champions by December 2017 paymaya

That the win to clinch the title came away to Jose Mourinho’s counter-attacking Manchester United only emphasised the point paymaya

An achievement like that 100-point season was a consequence of how the players’ deeper comprehension of the system amplified their performance paymaya

Figures at Old Trafford would fairly argue that Ten Hag was initially going to do this, but the onslaught from those first defeats against Brighton and Brentford at the start of last season was just too much paymaya

The second goal conceded at Brentford, trying to pass the ball out from the back, was just too calamitous paymaya

United being United, it brought a level of ridicule and hysteria beyond anything City could face paymaya

Ten Hag had to change something or it could have completely destroyed the squad’s confidence in themselves and him, before he ever got the chance to build belief in the system paymaya

They would also point to how Guardiola benefitted from spending £200m on defenders in his second season, including two cornerstones of the era in Kyle Walker and Ederson paymaya

By contrast, Ten Hag has attempted to fill tactical gaps in his side with relatively makeshift signings like Sofyan Amrabat and Christian Eriksen paymaya

A serious club, some in the industry argue, doesn't take the team to the next stage with a 20-year-old (Rasmus Hojlund, a Chelsea cast-off (Mason Mount) and two loanees (Sergio Reguilon and Amrabat) paymaya

Sofyan Amrabat arrived at Old Trafford on loan this summer (Getty Images)Those at City would nevertheless laugh at such arguments given United’s expenditure over the years paymaya

Ten Hag is currently in the process of ousting an £85m signing in Jadon Sancho paymaya

City would say their purchases have just been much more forensic paymaya

That isn’t the only potential difference paymaya between the situations paymaya

Although both Guardiola and Ten Hag have evolved from the same Dutch-Spanish ideology, those national backgrounds have produced divergences in interpretation paymaya

It comes down to different types of purism paymaya

Guardiola will stick to the system regardless paymaya

It's his way paymaya

He will always try and play through it paymaya

Ironically, and almost paradoxically, Ten Hag’s willingness to compromise arguably reflects a greater dogmatism paymaya

Those who know the Dutch coach say he has such a fixed idea of certain positions that if he doesn’t have exactly the type of player he wants, he doesn’t see the point of persevering in the same approach paymaya

That’s also why the injuries have been so undermining paymaya

Ten Hag has lacked some of his main passers, but especially Lisandro Martinez paymaya

The Argentine’s absence has had the effect of forcing Andre Onana to go long and removing that link to the midfield paymaya

It disrupts the whole system paymaya

Maguire and McTominay just aren’t suited to that game, but it is to their credit both have persevered and sought to learn in the circumstances paymaya

They illustrate this period of adaptation more than anyone, especially given how influential they have been paymaya

There’s almost a contrast in the Scottish midfielder’s game paymaya

An instinct for prosaically passing the ball sideways is offset by a willingness to proactively get forward and score paymaya

Maguire meanwhile made a calculation of his own paymaya

Sources with knowledge of his situation said one reason he turned down West Ham United was because he saw the issues United were going to have at centre-half paymaya

Martinez’s injury and Raphael Varane’s inability to play consistently meant there were going to be chances paymaya

Maguire has seized them and then some paymaya

Ten Hag praised his evolution on Tuesday night, as the centre-half furthered his recent redemption with a greatly valued match-winner against Copenhagen paymaya

“He’s playing much more proactive in possession, stepping in, passing vertical, defending also on the front foot, also stepping in, defending forward, very confident in the duels,” the manager argued paymaya

“I think he’s dominating in the right moment, putting the question, dominating his opponents paymaya

”Ten Hag is having to compromise on his ideals this season (Getty Images)United just aren’t doing that on a collective level paymaya

All of this is why Ten Hag was so insistent on Frenkie De Jong in his first summer at Old Trafford paymaya

He saw his former Ajax midfielder as unique in his interpretation of that specific midfield role the coach wants paymaya

The only player Ten Hag saw as coming close, in terms of potential attributes, was Ryan Gravenberch paymaya

That’s the reason he went so big on De Jong, against all evidence paymaya

When he couldn’t get De Jong, Ten Hag realised he had to go in a different direction paymaya

So it’s been a bit of all or nothing paymaya

The same applies to the team as a whole paymaya

Either Ten Hag has exactly what he wants, or he just can’t commit to that approach paymaya

It’s why there isn’t too much concern about the visible lack of ideology now paymaya

There is confidence that will return when sufficient players return, especially Martinez paymaya

A fair question is whether crucial time has been lost in deepening the ideology paymaya

A fair point for Sunday, meanwhile, is that this actually might serve United against City paymaya

Unless Ten Hag has the team exactly as he wants, it is always going to be a mistake trying to go toe to toe with Guardiola in terms of getting feet on the ball paymaya

The Catalan’s City are always going to be so dominant you have to adapt around them paymaya

Otherwise, you risk an evisceration paymaya

The current situation plays into that paymaya

United have almost no choice but to plan without possession on Sunday paymaya

The very decision to appoint Ten Hag was supposed to be about something grander, though paymaya

They were supposed to be rising to City's level paymaya

United instead have to try and bring the champions down, by leaving them the ball paymaya

Tyson Fury has vowed to deliver UFC fighter Francis Ngannou his first knockout blow when they go toe to toe in Riyadh on Saturday night paymaya

Heavyweight champion Fury will contest a 35th career bout this weekend, but his WBC title will not be on the line against Ngannou for the 10-round fight paymaya

Fury is set for a long-anticipated undisputed heavyweight showdown with Oleksandr Usyk on 23 December, which is also scheduled to take place in Saudi Arabia paymaya

First, though, Fury intends to dispatch paymaya boxing novice Ngannou, who left the UFC after the end of his contract, a last fight coming in January 2022, before signing up with the Professional Fighters League from 2024 paymaya

Trainer SugarHill Steward admitted preparing Fury to take on the Mixed Martial Arts fighter was one of the hardest camps, given they just do not know what to expect from Ngannou paymaya

Fury, though, is confident of what the final outcome will be paymaya

“I have been working with SugarHill to knock him out cold on Sunday night paymaya

I have no doubt in my mind that I will knock him out,” Fury said paymaya

“He is a big strong guy paymaya

Obviously he has got a good punch, powerful – but so am I paymaya

I’m a big strong guy obviously powerful or else I would not be world heavyweight champion paymaya

I believe there is levels to the game – and he is going to find out my level on Saturday night paymaya

”Fury added: “I have trained for a 12-round war, and if it is anything less it is going to be an early night paymaya

I’ve been hit by the biggest punches that have ever graced the face of the earth and I’m still undefeated, still standing and I am still number one paymaya

“We are going to see what Francis has got inside of him, see if he’s got the guts to stand and trade with the heavyweight champion of the world and if he has got the belief in his power paymaya

“I’m not convinced paymaya

I have heard all this talk before about power, so I’m looking forward to a challenge – and if it is not a challenge, I’ll be disappointed, put in that way paymaya

“I am going to knock that big stiff spark out – and there is nothing he can do about it, no matter who he trains with, no matter who he brings on the night paymaya

That right hand is going to detonate right in your face, you big ugly dosser paymaya

”During the pre-fight build-up Fury accused Ngannou of being “embarrassed” of his own body paymaya

Fury again goaded the 37-year-old as a “big fat sausage” in Thursday’s media conference ahead of the ‘Battle of the Baddest’ paymaya

Cameroon-born Ngannou, though, is fully intent on showing Fury just what he can deliver in a paymaya boxing ring rather than the UFC Octagon paymaya

“It might be a little weird, but I really also want to thank Tyson Fury for taking the fight, for taking the risk because he might go to sleep on Saturday night, so I appreciate his courage,” Ngannou said paymaya

Mike Tyson is part of Ngannou’s camp, and enjoyed a verbal sparing with John Fury which saw the 59-year-old Briton challenge the former heavyweight champion to a showdown, regardless of the outcome of Saturday’s contest for his son paymaya

Tyson admitted he was not sure what to make of Ngannou’s paymaya boxing ability, until he saw him in close quarters paymaya

“At first when this came to me, I said ‘there’s no way this is going to happen’,” Tyson said paymaya

“Then I watched him spar and he hit this guy and he broke his leg when he went down – and I said ‘man, there is a possibility something good could happen here’ paymaya

“I have never seen anything like that before paymaya

If he could do that man, he could possibly be heavyweight champion of the world paymaya
