Manchester United have lost the rhythm of their current game. There is not much understanding among the team players due to which the team is not doing well. The coach of the team now needs to find something great to make it profitable for the team.
United are in a disadvantageous situation, they are facing a series of obstacles. It is natural that they do not appear consistent, because the system implemented by Ten Hag is not effective. Their first problem was because several of the players that Ten Hag relied on were injured, as were the newcomers they brought in. Previously, Hojlund could not make his debut because he was brought in injured, no different from Amrabat. Apart from that, Antony's problem had quite an impact on United's performance. plus, the situation is heating up between Ten Hag and Jadon Sancho. There are many problems that Ten Hag must fix, but they are not easy and can be easily handled. However, as head coach Ten Hag is responsible and will fix it.
Now, several injured players have been able to return to the field. Varene, Amrabat, Mason Mount, ready to play again. At least, now Ten Hag has several options for player choice. In a few hours, United will play their match against Crystal Palace in the EFL Cup. but I'm sure Ten Hag will not play some of his core players. Maybe in this match, he will experiment with his system and give opportunities to several new players like Amrabat and several other players.
The injuries to a number of mainstay players certainly made Ten Hag very worried and as a result, Manchester United were unable to perform well so they had to accept unsatisfactory results, but I don't agree that this is always an excuse for Ten Hag. A manager must of course be able to think of other alternatives if the initial plan fails to be implemented. I see that Manchester United's game is still very individual, to the detriment of the team as a whole. Ten Hag certainly has to identify this, the players' selfishness must be immediately evaluated. Bruno Fernandez and Rashford are still showing that attitude. I really hope that Erik Ten Hag will immediately remove the captain's armband from him because he is not suitable to be a leader on the field.
