I had a routine [and it wasn't] 100 per cent, but you see that the principles are there and I am quite happy with the game we played." Aaron, we missed him in the first 14 games of the Premier League and we need numbers in the squad but not only numbers, they have to play well and they have to perform. [You have to] keep going and keep believing that the ball is going to get there, but it is an investment. But with the passing capabilities of players like Eriksen, Casemiro and Bruno, we have the players that can get the ball there. We had a lot of high regains, we had a lot of transitional moments. It's a difficult to get the press on [them] but I think we did.

Manchester United marked their return to competitive action with a 2-0 win over Burnley in the Carabao Cup.

Aaron Wan-Bissaka was out to prove a point as he made his first Old Trafford start since February in the 2-0 Carabao Cup victory over Burnley on Wednesday evening. Furthermore, Ten Hag then has another section headache to contend with. Now United are actively working to find a solution for Wan-Bissaka, who they are willing to move on out of respect for the player.

ERIK TEN HAG has revealed that Luke Shaw was so keen to play in Manchester United's Carabao Cup tie with Burnley that he offered to play out of posi.

Erik ten Hag believes Aaron Wan-Bissaka has a future at Manchester United despite only making his second appearance of the season on Wednesday.

Aaron Wan-Bissaka has taken in just two appearances for Manchester United this season, but Erik ten Hag insists the defender has a future at the club.

He’s had some good years with United, but from the start of this season he had a lot of illnesses and injuries, and so was running behind. But this is great and so I’m happy with his performance. Wan-Bissaka put in a decent display during a 2-0 victory over the Clarets and, despite seeing a possible return to Crystal Palace speculated on, Ten Hag insists there are no plans at Old Trafford to consider parting with a useful rotation option.

There was interest from the London outfit back in the summer about a potential Wan-Bissaka return. The Eagles are seen as part of a potential rescue mission that could enable Wan-Bissaka to rediscover his best form. Ten Hag is very much seeking to lead a Manchester outfit that will, eventually, become the type of team that dominates possession and imposes their style on other teams. [Harry Maguire](https://www.mirror.co.uk/all-about/harry-maguire) was another perceived favourite. Wan-Bissaka had enjoyed a breakout year at [Crystal Palace](https://www.mirror.co.uk/all-about/crystal-palace-fc) and had the young English player premium placed upon him, which eventually saw the Red Devils part with £50m. Danny Mills, a former England right-back, echoed that and claimed the system exposed his flaws. That meant their defenders were more involved in the attack, which didn't play to Wan-Bissaka's strengths. The Norwegian's Manchester exit this time last year was always going to be followed by a reshuffle. He’s had some good years with United, but from the start of this season he had a lot of illnesses and injuries, and so was running behind. The Portuguese star was quick to dislodge Wan-Bissaka following Solskjaer's dismissal. The United boss is very much working his way through assessing the squad he's inherited at Old Trafford.

Bruno, who famously hates missing matches, will be sidelined for our last-eight game in the week commencing 9 January 2023. If a player receives a caution in consecutive games in the Carabao Cup, they miss the next tie. Since the 2019/20 campaign, domestic bookings only count for that specific competition.
