Weakness that Man United turned into a strength could decide CL fate this week

In the space of just over seven weeks this year, Manchester United won as many domestic away games as they had in the previous 12 months. One of the biggest weaknesses of the Erik ten Hag era had, suddenly, become a strength.

Ten Hag's team should certainly head to Brentford and Chelsea confident of making an impact. The former are in wretched form and have been dragged into a battle against the drop, while the latter are unpredictable and were dominated at Old Trafford earlier this season. The quality of the victories this season has also been an upgrade. The best away success last season was either the Carabao Cup semi-final first-leg win at Nottingham Forest or the last-gasp league success at Fulham. Having beaten nobody higher than ninth on the road last season wins at Villa and Wolves are an improvement.

Then there is the form of Andre Onana, who excelled in the wins at Forest and Villa especially. United continue to allow the opposition plenty of shots but their goalkeeper is making plenty of saves as well.
