Manchester United in the Premier League have suffered a number of setbacks recently, and the most prominent problem has been the team's lack of attacking strength. To solve this problem, Manchester United spent €75 million to bring in Danish striker Hojlund during the summer window. However, the youngster's performances in the Premier League have been disappointing, with him yet to score any goals for Manchester United. In their last game, Manchester United played Newcastle away and lost the game. Hojlund played 29 minutes of the game, but did not contribute anything to the team, and the 0 shots on goal stats proved his absence on the field. Although his performance in Serie A is acceptable, in a tough league like the Premier League, Hojlund's quality clearly needs to be improved.
In fact, apart from manager Erik ten Hag, there are probably not many people who expect too much from Hojlund. In the Premier League, attacking power is particularly crucial, and Hojlund's goalscoring ability is not his most outstanding characteristic. Therefore, fans should not be too disappointed with his performance. However, as the manager of Manchester United, Ten Hag's persistence has brought a certain negative impact on the team. Manchester United spent a huge amount of money to bring in Hojlund, but the player's performance fell far short of the team's expectations. Against this backdrop, Ten Hag's management skills have also been questioned.
If United's future performance remains poor, then Ten Hag's job position could well be put to the test. At the moment, Manchester United are far from the top four and could be at risk of elimination in the upcoming Champions League fixtures. If the team can't play better, then the two humiliating records set by Manchester United on that night will only make the situation more dire. All in all, despite some mistakes in the recruitment process, there is still a chance to turn things around. As long as the players can give their best on the pitch, I believe the future of Manchester United is still full of hope. Manchester United have recently lost three games in a row to Newcastle United, the first time since 1922 that they have lost the same opponent.
Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag is undoubtedly feeling the pressure as his team's performances have cost him a huge sum of more than €400 million over the past two summer transfer windows, but the team remains half-dead. In such a situation, Ten Hag will find it difficult to shirk responsibility and face accountability from Manchester United's management. It's fair to say that Ten Hag's good days have come to an end. In fact, Ten Hag is already anxious about the performance of his Manchester United side. He knew his position was in jeopardy, as the team's results had reached a point he could not accept. For the first time since 1922, United have lost three games in a row against Newcastle, making Ten Hag's situation even more precarious.
He has realised that it is impossible for United's management to turn a blind eye to the team's results, and it is difficult for him to shirk responsibility in this situation. Manchester United have spent almost €400 million in the last two summer transfer windows to bring in a group of strong players. However, the performance of these players did not reach the expected level. Manchester United have problems with tactical strategy, squad selection and player management. While Ten Hag was fully aware of these problems from the outset, he was unable to address them effectively, which has resulted in a consistently unsatisfactory performance for United. It's not hard to imagine that Ten Hag's mood is unusually heavy right now as United's management begin to take stock of his work.
If the team's performance continues to decline, he will lose his place. In such circumstances, Ten Hag must act to salvage his team's slump or his good days will really come to an end.
