When we look back at United's recent series of defeats, it's not just a game defeat, it's an overall reflection on a once-glorious team. The latest of this 0-3 defeat was to Bournemouth, not just a scoreline, it reflects the current predicament and challenges of Manchester United.
First of all, we must recognize,Erik ten HagBehind the Premier League's Coach of the Month award, there are a lot of problems lurking. Although this may seem like an affirmation of his work, if you analyze it carefully, it is only a superficial glamour. In fact, the United under his management did not perform as well as the manager of the month.
Let's take a look at the team's performance. Manchester United's first home defeat to Bournemouth under Ten Hag was not only a historic defeat, but also a punishment for the coach and players. This illustrates the fact that no matter how advanced the coach's tactics are, if the players don't have enough commitment and responsibility, the tactics are just on paper.
It is worth noting thatManchester United fansreactions. Manchester United fans have always been known for their loyalty, but this time they were clearly unhappy with Ten Hag and the team's performance. The boos on the pitch and the empty red seats after Senesi's goal were expressions of dissatisfaction and disappointment from fans about the current state of affairs. Much of this disgust was due to the team's incompetence on the pitch and the seemingly indifferent attitude of the players to the game.
In particular, players like Anthony Martial have disappointed fans with their performances on the pitch. The French striker had a lackluster performance against Bournemouth, scoring no goals, no assists, no dribbling and conceding on a number of occasions. This kind of performance is obviously not what a high-level player should have.
In addition, we also have to see,Ten Hag's challenge。In addition to the problems on the pitch, he also has to deal with higher level management issues. The change in ownership and management of Manchester United has had a significant impact on the stability and future development of the team. Ten Hag will not only have to achieve results on the pitch, but also find his place in the political battles within the club.
Looking back over the past decade, United have lost more games at home than they did in the Ferguson era. It's a staggering statistic, as it not only reflects the current problems of coaches and players, but also a critique of United's management and decision-making over the past decade. From David Moyes to Louis van Gaal to Jose Mourinho and Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, United seem to have been looking for the right direction for Alex Ferguson's retirement, but have yet to find one.
In short, as a casual fan, what I want to see is a return to that fearless spirit on the pitch, both as a manager and as a player. After all, for a club with such a glorious history, the current performance is simply unacceptable. The team must learn from this defeat and get back on their feet and show the world what the real United is like.
