“Under construction” was the neat phrase summoned by Brazilian midfielder Casemiro to describe the revolution being overseen by Erik ten Hag at Manchester United this season but, as his club marches on on four trophy fronts this week, there is little doubt who is the on-field architect.

United, leading 3-0 from the semi-final first leg against Nottingham Forest, will surely book a place in the EFL Cup Final on Wednesday and, while defeat at Arsenal makes a title run near-impossible, Ten Hag’s team looks odds-on for a top-four finish.
