Baptism of fire for Ten Hag At Manchester United
Brighton didn’t dominate today against The Red Devils, the Bees simply preyed on United’s weaknesses. Brentford were aware of Manchester United’s poor technicality in defense, it was there for all to see. From the goalkeeper to the poorly positioned defenders, Manchester United looked like an amateur team trying to learn a new routine. Sure, it’s a new style, and a new manager, but looking sharp and aware should be the bare minimum for these highly paid professionals; that wasn’t the case today.
This game also showed that Thomas Frank worked on how his team could capitalize on Manchester United’s failings against Brighton last week, and it worked wonders today.
It’s harsh on a new manager like Erik Ten Hag, but it’s hardly his fault. Most United players are not just good enough. In terms of Technique, and World Class quality Manchester United are not up to par. Ten Hag understands that and that is why he has been looking for better options in the transfer market.
“New signings? Yes. We need new players and quality players. We will try and convince them to join us. Only when we stick together we will overcome it. The manager is the main responsibility and I take that”.
Ten Hag on signing new players.
It has been a baptism of fire for Ten Hag, will it get worse next week? Manchester United face Liverpool at Old Trafford.
The team is in shambles and it’s so devastating to watch..🤦🏿♂️🤦🏿♂️
