DEVASTATING NEWS: coming from old Trafford ” i hope the new shareholders are seeing this terrible performance and poor football tactics. I have said it so many times Erik ten hag can never be the man for United how can you bench amad for forson it’s unbelievable and stupid of him”. Manchester United legend Wayne Rooney has blasted Erik ten Hag poor football tactics after The Red Devils were beaten by a late Alex Iwobi strike with Marco Silva’s men sealing a dramatic 2-1 win at Old Trafford.
The 2023/2024 season has been a forgettable one for Manchester United, marked by a disappointing start to their campaign. Under Erik ten Hag’s leadership, the team currently sits in sixth place in the Premier League standings, trailing eight points behind fourth-placed Aston Villa. Their Champions League aspirations turned sour as they finished at the bottom of their group, trailing behind Bayern Munich, FC Copenhagen, and Galatasaray.
Despite their struggles, United showed signs of improvement with a seven-match unbeaten streak before their recent setback against Fulham. The defeat came in dramatic fashion, with Marco Silva’s side securing a 2-1 victory at Old Trafford courtesy of a late Alex Iwobi strike.
A focal point of discussion this season has been the performance of winger Antony, who has registered just one goal and one assist in 25 appearances. Speaking ahead of their clash with Fulham, Ten Hag acknowledged that the Brazilian has yet to showcase his full potential. He emphasized Antony’s need to prove himself and highlighted his considerable talent, expressing confidence that the player will seize his opportunities.
Ten Hag also noted the competition for places within the squad, mentioning the return of Amad Diallo from injury and the promising performances of Omari Forson in training. This competition provides alternatives for filling positions, suggesting that Marcus Rashford may not be confined to a central forward role.
Looking ahead, Manchester United will face local rivals Manchester City in their next fixture on Sunday afternoon, seeking to bounce back from their recent defeat and reignite their season.
