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.
Erik Ten Hag should revisits his squad and his game strategy because it seems to be disturbing and weigh below the expectations of the fans. If I'm not mistaken, Manchester United have struggled in every single game they've play this month, that's definitely no sign of improvement. Manchester united failed to impressed their fans and have also failed in upgrading their level of performance in games this season, it seems the more they play more competitive clubs, the more they become more vulnerable and easily defeated by opponents.
Even without the presence of Jonny Evans, I think Manchester United has a player that can perfectly play in the center back position in the person of Raphael Varane who I don't know why he's not constantly used since the start of the season.
Manchester United manager doesn't have any valid excuse to give why his team has been very poor in the UEFA Champions League competition this season season if you ask me. I think he's a manager who lacks tactical ideas as to know what to do when results aren't favouring him. United I don't think stands a chance to make it out of their group this season.
