'I spent maternity leave in a grand country house'

For nine years, Kat Croxford has had possibly one of the most impressive addresses going: Lyme Park, Cheshire. But she’s not part of the landed gentry - she’s the house and collections manager, a job that means she gets to live in a grand house and among luscious gardens, moorland and a deer park. Lyme Park is a gem in the Trust’s portfolio boasting acres of glorious parkland. But her unusual home set-up has also given her another unique experience: maternity leave in a mansion. She then spent two years at Buckland Abbey near Plymouth and three at Plas Newydd in Anglesey, before moving to Lyme Park in 2013.

Bruno Fernandes has spotted a problem with Erik ten Hag's masterplan at Manchester United

Speaking after the game, Fernandes said this enabled him to make runs forward unlike times when the wide men looked for an option inside. "For me, it is difficult to find those positions when the wingers come inside because I have to make the space for the players around me," he told Amazon Prime. He has seen how effective Fernandes can be when his wingers don’t give in to their urges to cut inside. Antony also looks to have pinned down the right flank position while Sancho and Rashford - both of whom like to come inside - are interchangeable on the left. What seems more likely is Ten Hag allowing his wingers to play their game and asking Fernandes to operate within those parameters for the sake of the team.
