Manchester United were better under Ole Gunnar Solskjaer than they are under Erik ten Hag, according to a former Arsenal star.
The Red Devils currently sit in seventh position on the Premier League heading into the Manchester derby on Sunday evening.
Ten Hag's men suffered a shock 2-1 defeat to Fulham at Old Trafford last weekend and former Gunners and Chelsea Cesc Fabregas claims the Dutchman does not have a plan for big games like Solskjaer did.

“I have to say, with Ole, there were some good big games. He used to have a structure, they had a plan. At least you saw a plan which was to defend well and have great breaks and counter-attacks," Fabregas said on the Planet Premier League podcast
“This is exactly what Man United don’t have at the moment, it’s not good to analyse only one game, but I have the perception Man City are still very strong but with Man United, I don’t have the perception that they are a solid team at the moment.
“Looking carefully at the counters that Fulham did to them and the way they were done, this makes the alarm bells go. It cannot happen that a top, top team gets done on counters so many times in one half or over 60 minutes.
“This shows they are lacking something, I don’t know if it’s a gameplan, I don’t know if it’s structure, I don’t know if it’s a message, but definitely if this happened to my team there would be a lot of alarm bells.”
