Shall we have a look at what Erik ten Hag actually said following Sunday's 0-0 draw at Aston Villa.

In the immediate aftermath, the Dutchman said that he was "pleased" with the resolve his players showed to keep a clean sheet at a top-four side.

"I think the performance of United was very good - defending but also the in possession part, I think we controlled the game," he told BBC's Match of the Day.

"I think it was in balance - we created some chances, but not loads. On the other side, also Villa couldn't create chances so the two teams kept each other in balance."

He added: "This is our fourth clean sheet, so you can tell we are going in a good direction."

What do you think? Are Manchester United going in a "good direction"? Thumbs up for yes, down for no.

The Guardian

The Guardian focuses on Erik ten Hag's post-match comments - that he was "on the same page as the Manchester United hierarchy and had been given no indication from the owners that he does not retain their support".

There is also a report on a "brawl" between "15 to 20 players" following a feisty 1-1 draw between Chelsea and Nottingham Forest at Stamford Bridge.

Particular attention is being paid to the part played by the Blues' Senegal striker Nicolas Jackson after footage emerged of him "putting his hand in the face of [Forest's] Morato".

The report suggests that the 23-year-old forward should find out today if he will face disciplinary action.
