This year, Manchester United brought in quite a few recruits. Recruits are unfamiliar with Erik ten Hag's journey. They couldn't find a bridge to bring them together. Look at their attackers trying to find a goal. It was so luxurious that they missed many scoring opportunities. Goals are the motivation for the whole team to work hard.
Defensively, I would say things have gotten better. When Harry Maguire and De Gea. are missing from the list of starting players. If the situation of the whole team does not improve, it will be easy to receive heavy defeats against big teams.
Erik ten Hag's efforts to unite players to become more cohesive in the team really have to be done, because every player who is recruited into the Manchester United team for this season is for the sake of making the team's appearance better than last season. However, Manchester United's performance seen at the start of this season was still not that good because maybe the players were still not very used to Erik ten Hag's direction so there were still many things that Erik ten Hag needed to improve for this season.
Last year there was a big story with Ronaldo and a seemingly restructuring of the team - so many were inspired by TH and believed that thanks to him, United was on the rise. Therefore, many (players) perceived his demands for discipline as adequate. But I see that this season the dreams are dissipating and United will most likely hang around 5-7 places again. In such conditions, I don’t think that everyone will perceive TH tolerantly and conflicts will arise within the club. Maybe I'm too pessimistic, but this development of events seems logical to me.
I see where you are going but i feel ten hang still need some space and after all united did perform a little better but the only issue they were having was the inconsistency that the team always face, one moment they are very good with their gameplay and the other a total shit hole and this has been the problem of this squad and I feel ten hang needs to work on that.
