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.
While many people blame Erik ten Hag for Manchester United's performance this season for reasons that are appropriate to the circumstances being compared.
Erik ten Hag is a figure who plays a big role in the decision of which players will be played in every Manchester United match and in every competition they play.
Rashford is a player with a high goal productivity rate for the 2022/23 season. He was able to score 17 goals for Manchester United in the Premier League and Rashford was the player who improved the most last season under Erik ten Hag.
I began to realize that Erik ten Hag's assistant's role seemed to be dysfunctional in helping him carry out this season's strategy.
ETH was overwhelmed after Shaw was injured in the left back position. Casemiro and Bruno are not on the same page in midfield. Now, the option played by Erik ten Hag in the left back position is Ambrabat, who is actually a box to box midfielder.
