Times are tough at Manchester United. Eighth in the Premier League with only 15 points and third in their group in the Champions League, the Red Devils are encountering many difficulties at the start of the season. This Wednesday, Erik ten Hag’s men were defeated at Old Trafford by Newcastle with a score of 3 goals to 0 in the League Cup.
A defeat synonymous with elimination from the competition just a few days after being subdued during the Mancunian derby against Manchester City (0-3).
The Red Devils are struggling on all fronts. In the game, in the defensive sector but especially in finishing. The Mancunian attackers have struggled to make a difference since the start of the year.

Manchester United have been unrecognizable since the opening of the 2023/2024 season. In the league, only one goal has been scored by a United attacking player. It was Marcus Rashford who found the net for his team during the match against Arsenal on September 3.

In addition to this achievement against the Gunners, all the other goals were scored by midfielders or defenders (3 goals for Scott Mctominay, 2 for Bruno Fernandes, one for Christian Eriksen, Casemiro, Hannibal Mejbri and Raphael Varane).
This Saturday, the ten Hag players will absolutely have to raise their heads on the Fulham lawn for the 11th day of the Premier League at the risk of entering a negative spiral and a crisis…
