FANS were left puzzled by Erik ten Hag’s tactics in Man Utd’s 2-2 draw with Tottenham.

That’s after defender Aaron Wan-Bissaka was deployed out of position in the thriller at Old Trafford.

The 26-year-old is usually in the right-back slot when selected for United’s starting XI.

He and fellow right-sider Diogo Dalot were both named in Sunday’s team against Spurs.

And with the Portugal ace capable of playing on the left, it was assumed that Wan-Bissaka would line up in his normal position.

However, it was Wan-Bissaka and not Dalot who was put on the left side of United’s defence.

Fans couldn’t believe it as they saw the ace put up against Tottenham’s right winger Brennan Johnson.

One said: “Have I gone cross-eyed or is Wan-Bissaka playing LB?”

Another declared: “Wan-Bissaka at left-back? That’s new.”

One noted: “Must be the first time Wan-Bissaka has started there.”

Another added: “What is Ten Hag cooking?”

The tactical decision certainly appeared to pay off.

United stormed into the lead after just three minutes when Rasmus Hojlund hit the back of the net.

However, the Red Devils were unable to grab a second to establish their dominance.

And Spurs soon battled back, levelling in the 19th minute through Richarlison’s header.

Wan-Bissaka then received a yellow card to make his life hard for the rest of the game.

But United got their lead back five minutes before the break when Marcus Rashford lashed in a screamer.
