Manchester United lost 2-0 to their opponents in the game, while Ten Hag continued the tradition of holding a clean speech after the defeat. However, now the new owner has injected a big sum of money, and Manchester United have now failed to score in four consecutive games, picking up just one point. If Ten Hag wants to remain in charge of Manchester United, they will have to put in a convincing performance at home against Aston Villa and go for a win. Manchester United is going through a sea change and the INEOS Group has taken over the team. Last night, Manchester United's top management officially announced that INEOS Group has officially taken over Manchester United's football business.
It also means that there could be significant changes to the way United operate, their recruitment strategy, their mission and their goals for the future. Since Sir Alex Ferguson's departure, it has been clear that United are in disarray, and the arrival of a new owner could mark the beginning of the Reds' bottoming. Ten Hag's team and Manchester United will make their debut in front of their new owners in the home game against Aston Villa, and even Manchester United's Weibo has issued a "must-kill order" in advance, and it is clear that Ten Hag and Manchester United have reached the moment of a back-to-back battle. The current Aston Villa squad is not to be underestimated.
The team is no longer the "Wuxia Amon" of the past, with 12 wins, 3 draws and 3 losses in the current competition, ranking third in the Premier League, even surpassing the defending champion Manchester City. Aston Villa have now scored 37 goals, more than twice as many as Manchester United, while conceding fewer goals defensively than the 'Red Devils'. Considering United's current leaky midfield, leaky backline, poor goalkeeper performance, and the failure of the forward line to score in successive games, the only way to beat Aston Villa is to rely on Ten Hag's ingenuity.
Beating Aston Villa at home is a difficult task for United to beat Aston Villa from any point of view, but the arrival of a new club could put new pressure on the United's coaching staff and energize the players. For the current Manchester United, if they don't win, the coaching staff and the squad could face a huge change. Ten Hag should have understood that looking at the situation after the change of manager at Chelsea, perhaps it is time for him to start packing his bags and go back to the Netherlands.
