Just as I said before Manchester United's main obstacle was defense if we check the standings and goal records then we will see Manchester conceding more than scoring goal 24 scored and 29 conceded, this is a concrete proof that their defense is very bad and has never happened before. Ten Hag and management must take quick action if they still want to compete in the top 5 there is still time to fix it. Manchester United have gone through 5 matches with 2 defeats 2 draws and one win nothing can be relied upon in this record while Chelsea who previously played badly were now come back with satisfying results.
Defense and midfield were Manchester United's weak points in this match because these two positions were unable to close down space for Tottenham's players to build attacks. Manchester United conceded quite a lot of goals this season in all competitions so it is natural that the defense becomes a problem and what is more, Onana does not have the strong instincts of the previous goalkeeper De Gea. Manchester United defenders had difficulty making interceptions in the air because a number of goals were created through corner kicks followed by headers.
Erik Ten Hak has quite a tough job this season because he is starting to lose the trust of a number of players, fans and management. If this is not evaluated sooner then I doubt he can last long at Old Trafford, especially since Manchester United fans are known to be quite aggressive in attacking anyone through the media or posters on the streets.
