Manchester United are continuing to face defensive problems. They are still lacking some important players at the back. Martinez's injury is still going on and Casemiro is also injured now. In addition to these injuries Evans has also got injured new. They have Varane back at least but he is also showing an inconsistent performance lately.
Considering this situation Manchester United's job will be tougher than ever about the aim of reaching last 16 round. I'm saying it even though the point difference with Copenhagen and Galatasaray is 1 now.
They will need to make up for that weakness with their attacking power. However Rashford got a red car in the last match here. Hojlund's effort would be critical.
Jonny Evans would be back anytime soon, it's no use lamenting over players that are not present, Erik Ten Hag will have to plan with the players he has now presently.
Manchester United have got Harry Maguire doing well now, even though he still can't be relied on with a hundred percent. Having a proper defensive midfielder issues will lead to the defense been opened. And it's very obvious with Casemiro and Manchester United. Sofyan Amrabat brought in has not as well improved in the midfield.
It's step by step, it's just that they've taken too long to make the improvements and upgrades done. Erik Ten Hag should have switched to defending immediately Bruno Fernandez scored that penalty. He had the game in control and lost it. They've done well against Luton Town, not the expected results still but better improvement was seen.
