Manchester United lost again, the team did not perform well, and the fans have long been Xi to it. Manchester United were beaten 1-0 at Newcastle United in this game, and the team suffered their fourth defeat of the season against their top-six opponents in the Premier League. In addition, Newcastle beat Manchester United in three consecutive games in all competitions, the first time since 1922, which also set a 101-year record for Newcastle. Manchester United's performance can be described as miserable.
Had it not been for the repeated missed chances to open the scoring, United would likely have lost even more. After the game, Ten Hag looked for reasons to excuse his team's performance in his post-match press conference. He even believes that the fixtures are not good for the team and that United should be able to get one draw in this game. However, these explanations were not shared by the fans, who felt that Manchester United's performance was simply too poor.
With just eight shots on goal on the road, with only one on target, it was an unbelievable performance. It is worth mentioning that Ten Hag's main players, Marcus Rashford and Anthony Martial, did not show the quality they should have, and both of them performed quite poorly in the game and were eventually substituted. For Manchester United fans, such a performance is unacceptable.
Judging from their performances this season, Manchester United have lagged far behind other big teams, and their performances really don't deserve their status. If United are to get back to the top, they will have to find a solution to the problem, otherwise the future of the team will be even bleaker. Manchester United's defeat to Newcastle was even more disappointing for fans because of the fact that Ten Hag's trusted four strikers had just one shot on goal, including substitute Hojlund.
The game exposed the obvious problems in United's attack and raised concerns about the devil's performance in the upcoming fixtures. Next up is not to be underestimated, with Manchester United facing the likes of Chelsea, Bournemouth, Bayern Munich and Liverpool. This season, Manchester United have a very poor record against the big teams, losing all five games. With the devil's fixtures on the horizon, Manchester United will face tougher opponents and will need to find a solution to their problems as soon as possible.
It would be a disaster if United lost all three of their next three big games. This would not only disappoint the fans, but could also lead to Ten Hag being sacked. In fact, the patience of the Manchester United hierarchy has reached the limit, and Ten Hag will likely be sacked if he is out of the Champions League. After that, United will also be faced with the task of rebuilding the squad, and what kind of manager will they choose in the future?
However, even if United don't perform well in the devil's schedule, we shouldn't lose faith in the team. After all, winning or losing in football is not always possible, every game is a new challenge, and everyone has the potential to be the key to victory. It is believed that Manchester United will take every opponent seriously in future matches and bring more surprises and joy to the fans.
