While Manchester United managed to shake off a poor start to the season last season, this time they are doing absolutely nothing!

While Manchester United managed to shake off a poor start to the season last season, this time they are doing absolutely nothing! Erik ten Hag had to bite a second embarrassing defeat at Old Trafford after Tuesday night, so no one can be surprised that the English media started talking about whether he will defend his position.

In the Premier League, the Red Devils’ stats are 3 wins – 4 losses, while in the Champions League they have only two losses. But it should be added that Manchester United received 4 goals from Bayern Munich and 3 from Galatasaray at Old Trafford.

It is the defence that is currently the biggest problem that the Dutch coach cannot solve at all. So it turns out that Harry Maguire is no longer the biggest renegade, but the problem is much deeper.

The midfield is falling down significantly, which is why the defensive players are in trouble. Last season, the midfield trio of Eriksen, Casemiro and Fernandes was the pride of the Premier League. When they played together from the start, they never knew an opponent in a league game.

But in the summer Mason Mount came in and crashed this line-up, as well as injuries and other problems, which made them stand out, for example Jadon Sancho or Antony, who finally joined the team this week.

So the only positive remains the performance of Rasmus Hojlund, who, if not for an offside, could have celebrated his first hat-trick in a Manchester United jersey.

How long will Erik ten Hag have the confidence of the management?

This week, ten Hag received a not-so-positive review from Goal, who ranked him among the three worst coaches in the current Premier League season.

Things are getting out of hand for the Dutch coach. The fans are becoming significantly dissatisfied, the management cannot like the results either. Even more so when the Red Devils are losing games to significantly weaker opponents and the performances on the pitch are even worse than the result itself.

Manchester United’s second defeat in a row at Old Trafford. In the next 5 matches they will play 4 at home, when Brentford, who were not easy to play last season, awaits them this weekend.

Server Football365 came up with the information that the Dutch coach has his position still solid, as the management has confidence in him after a successful first season. However, Manchester United will have to start winning, as it can be assumed that this patience will not last forever and after the embarrassing defeat to Galatasaray, this necessity is even greater.
