Manchester United won this match but they did not do well in this match. It is not often seen that a relatively well performing team only fails to score and is defeated in today's match. If Manchester United is considered as one of the best clubs in English Premier League then it will not be wrong, if the best club performs so poorly then how will they perform against stronger club than them. Erik Ten Hag is trying to do enough with Manchester United but he is not succeeding at all. As good as they finished the season last season, they may finish the season as badly this season. Manchester United's position should have been higher than 9th in the points table. In nine matches they have lost four matches and they have won five matches making their winning percentage sixty percent. How far can they go in the Premier League with a 60 percent win?
This game was anything but certainly not a feast for the eyes of football fans. I would not classify Manchester United as one of the best teams in the Premier League. If Liverpool and Tottenham play a normal season, it won't end with the Champions League qualification for them this year. The reason they were able to sneak themselves in last season was because teams that are usually stronger tremendously underperformed. Liverpool, Tottenham, and Chelsea. While Chelsea is even weaker than Manchester United, I think Liverpool and Tottenham are on a good way to play a decent season, which will make it hard for Manchester United.
The biggest problem they have had for weeks now is their offensive game. Out of the teams ranked from 1st to 8th, Manchester United scored 11 goals. The next teams are ranked 4th and 2nd and both scored 18 goals. Apart from the relegation zone Manchester United has one of the weakest attacking lines in the Premier League. It was the same problem when they finished 4th last season and out of the teams ranked 1st to 9th they had the second weakest attacking line.
