After dropping points in back-to-back matches, Erik ten Hag must go back to the drawing board to map out a new approach for Manchester United’s upcoming run of fixtures.
Based on the recent speculation regarding the Dutchman’s position in the dugout, there’s certainly a case there for the next three matches leading into the October international break being must-wins.
United host Tottenham Hotspur on Sunday before returning to Europa League action away to Porto on October 3, followed by a trip to face in-form Aston Villa just three days later.
Last night, it looked as though Ten Hag was more than comfortable settling for a 1-0 victory, which is remarkable given how the new Europa League format would cater to an increased goal difference. Although, this is coming from the team that ended the 2023/2024 Premier League campaign with a goal difference of minus one, so perhaps fans are asking too much…
You’d struggle to pick out many players who covered themselves in glory, but one oversaw a particularly poor 90 minutes – especially by his standards.
Samuel Luckhurst picked up on the skipper receiving some stick from the Old Trafford faithful, too, writing on X/Twitter: “United fans becoming increasingly hacked off at some of the sloppiness and [Bruno] Fernandes has been guilty of it more than most tonight.”
