Player injuries have certainly affected the team's performance, especially if it is the main player. There are many cases where a team loses its best form when one or two of their key players are absent due to injury, remember Liverpool last season?
However, it's not just player injuries that have hit Manchester United, the performance of their key players has dropped significantly compared to last season. Rashford is the player who is increasingly being talked about, but there are several others too. So it's no surprise why Manchester United's performance this season seems poor, there's clearly a reason instead of just blaming Ten Hag.
Manchester United's unstable performance this season is based on the storm of injuries that befell their players. If you look at the depth of their squad, Manchester United certainly have a lot of quality players in their team, but their play was really bad at the start of this season. I think Manchester United will have a fate like Chelsea, where it seems quite difficult for these two teams to win because their performance is inconsistent in every match. Football experts say that Manchester United has experienced a decline in their playing patterns this season. Well, this is quite correct because Manchester United only won 3 wins in 7 matches.
Chelsea also had the same fate this season where they performed quite poorly because they had difficulty winning at the start of the season. Chelsea only collected 8 points and is far behind the leaders. I predict that the pace of these two teams this season will be tougher for them because other teams are stronger than them, such as Aston Villa and Brighton. Even though this season Chelsea has a lot of quality players who they bought at quite expensive prices, such as Caicedo, their performance is still not as expected.
