It seems that both Manchester United and Tottenham are competing among themselves to see which club will become the most worst English club in history. Even with the club owners of Manchester United and Tottenham providing huge amount of money for the club managers to use in the transfer market, I guess it still does not change the fact that both of these big English clubs are still playing much worse than smaller clubs in the English Premier League this season.
If I'm not mistaken, initially last season Tottenham went well after being handled by Ange Postecoglou. However, after almost half of the League their performance declined, plus the factor of players who were injured. This season their performance is in disarray, as well as the players who were hit by a storm of injuries. Now their position is in 15th place, only winning 7 of their 22 matches. Like Manchester United, they have changed coaches but have not shown dramatic changes. Changing coaches, bringing in newcomers, has not made them an elite team in this competition. If it is related to Spurs I can still understand it, as we know that Levy is known to be stingy and frugal. As for Manchester United, this club seems to be experiencing many problems internally. whether it is from club management, players and even coaches. Under Amorim United is predicted to be better than Ten Hag, but as we see until now he has not found a formula to bring Manchester United back to its level. As you said sir, both teams played far from what their fans expected.
