Manchester United loanee ruled out of World Cup as David de Gea explains Erik ten Hag change

Here are your Manchester United evening headlines on Saturday, December 3.

Alex Telles set to miss World Cup in major injury blow

Manchester United loanee Alex Telles has been ruled out of the remainder of the World Cup after picking up a knee injury in Brazil's defeat to Cameroon on Friday night.

Former Manchester City frontman Gabriel Jesus is also out until January after suffering a knee injury. Both players reported issues after the match and resulting scans confirmed that neither player will be able to play any further part in the tournament.

Telles, who is on loan at Sevilla from United, is set to require surgery and will be out for an extended period of time, while Jesus will reportedly miss around a month of action - which would rule him out of Arsenal's first matches when the Premier League resumes on Boxing Day.

De Gea explains what Ten Hag has changed at United

Manchester United goalkeeper David de Gea has explained that Erik ten Hag is keen for his players to 'dictate games' as the Reds look to control matches moving forward.

After making a shaky start to the campaign, De Gea was in impressive form prior to the break in the domestic season, but it wasn't enough to secure him a spot in Spain's World Cup squad. Despite this, the goalkeeper is focused on United and is already looking ahead to getting back underway.

The 32-year-old Spaniard has explained that Ten Hag is desperate for his side to press high and win the ball back in the opposition half - something that United struggled to do last term.
