Does anyone know what's happening right now when United's in possession? Lindelof in midfield? Casemiro in defense but stepping all the way out? Elanga right wing-back? Dalot midfielder/forward? Martial number 10? :why:

Guy wouldn't even switch wingers once in the first half and now it's a free for all.

I sympathise with ETH really, he's trying to force/quicken the process because the stature of the club demands it, but the players aren't ready to be tactically flexible, especially switching during games, we saw that on Thursday and here.

We were hamstrung by injuries and suspensions today so i'm not too worried really, there were always going to be ups and downs throughout the season.

We need some bodies in January, i don't care if they're loans, get some solid grafters in to fill the gaps when needed so players can rest.

Oh and I never want to hear Bruno slander ever again.

My 8 year old nephew was over yesterday and was playing my ps5 I caught him playing fifa 23 and I was shocked because he only loved basketball before.

He then told me now he loves soccer and his fav team is man united :picard: . Also said Ronaldo is his favorite player :scust:

The youth are being corrupted

While Man U get some good results and I can see them putting mini runs of games together, you guys still need to replace much of this team, so its hard for me to blame ETH completely. This group has high ability, but its their inconsistency that creates these inconsistent results

I do like Martinez and apologize for any early season slander.

Manchester United boss Erik ten Hag, speaking to MOTD:

"We lost the game at the start of first half and second half and that is not acceptable. They looked more fresh and more ready. We need to be more sharp. The result is really clear. It never lies. Today we were not good enough.

"We didn't get the right organisation. We created chances and good chances at 2-1. But you are really disappointed to concede at the start of the second half."
