I think Manchester United are still caught in the web of last season's struggles and coach Erik Ten Hag has not found the way out yet and this doesn't really tell good of the club's future because everybody thought the club would have navigated out the the stormy weather after participating so vigorously in the transfer market bringing in new players whom we thought were going to change the club's fortunes around for good. As it is right now, Manchester United have only played 3 games losing two already with just a win, so in my opinion I don't think they are ready to compete yet.
With the exception of their match against Liverpool, Manchester United has not been performing well. I simply expected that they would be able to do more, and their supporters had a lot of faith in them to do well this season. Since nothing is going as planned, I'm wondering what action Ten Hag will take next, as I don't think he expects things to actually work according to plan. Ten Hag is acting as though he has no idea what to do, so it appears that he has tried everything and is still receiving the same outcome. It's possible that the management won't give him another chance. There are still a lot of factors that affect the club's performance, and even if the player is good, they might not feel comfortable in the new environment. In addition, there is no guarantee that the player will be able to perform well if there is a lack of teamwork, especially since Manchester United has not performed well since Ronaldo was there.
