2 defeats after 4 days, a sad eleventh place in the Premier League, a failing game plan and the first tensions in the locker room. Here’s a summary of Manchester United’s alarming start to the season. This Sunday, on the lawn of Arsenal, the Red Devils have also suffered the law of the Gunners (1-3) despite the opening of the score of Marcus Rashford. Disappointing in the game, the Mancunian club already seems to be struggling.
An unattractive face on the lawns of the Premier League!
If Rasmus Hojlund performed his first minutes in the jersey of residents of Old Trafford, the last third in the Premier League still does not display an attractive face. Forced to evolve without Mason Mount, Amad Diallo, Luke Shaw or even Tyrell Malacia, all injured, Manchester United then navigates in troubled waters and the atmosphere in the locker room begins to be heavy. Absent against the Gunners, Jadon Sancho symbolizes, as such, the climate of tension currently reigning among the Red Devils.
“We didn’t select him because of his performance in training. At Manchester United, you have to be at the level every day. There are choices to be made in attack., justified, in this perspective, Erik ten Hag, disappointed by the performance of his protege during the week. Criticisms very badly perceived by the person concerned who then hastened to react by means of a press release published on his Twitter account.
The Sancho affair ignites the Red Devils!
“Don’t believe everything you read! I will not accept that we say completely false things, I behaved very well in training this week. I believe there are other reasons for this case that I will not mention, I was a scapegoat for a long time, which is not fair! All I want is to play football with a smile and contribute to my team.”launched the former Borussia Dortmund player before tempering his remarks.
“I respect all the decisions made by the staff, I play with fantastic players and I am grateful to do so, but I know that every week is a challenge. I will continue to fight for this badge, no matter what!” An incendiary post liked by Marcus Rashford and which could suggest a certain split between the Mancunian coach and certain executives of the workforce… At a time when the process of selling the club seems to be at a standstill, the international truce could then allow the first wounds to be healed.
One thing is certain, Manchester United will quickly have to raise their heads and settle their internal worries. As a reminder, the Red Devils, placed in Group A of the Champions League group stage, will challenge Bayern Munich, FC Copenhagen and Galatasaray, led by Mauro Icardi XXL. Before these European meetings, Bruno Fernandes’ teammates will have a lot to do against Brighton, on the occasion of the 5th day of the Premier League. A reaction is expected and the sooner the better…
