Manchester United’s problems sees no end in sight
This season’s start has been shaky, both at Old Trafford, losing two home games, and also at away games. Former MLS icon Alejandro Moreno sheds more light on the matter as he shares his takes on the club.
A furious and frustrated Moreno makes his case as he says, “There is fragility in the squad because of their lack of confidence, there’s fragility in the squad because of a lack of talent as well and then the manager who’s supposed to be getting the attention of the players that information is not getting through and so therefore we have a vicious circle of nonsense.”
Manchester United defender, Raphael Varane claimed in the pre-match press conference that the current United team is capable of winning the UCL title this season. The 4x Champions League winner couldn’t have been more wrong with his timing, as the remark has come to haunt him after United’s 3-2 defeat at home against Galatasaray.
Erik Ten Hag’s transitional tactics are not doing well. The rival teams are easily able to crack open their defense. The looming concerns over man management issues are also an ongoing problem. The Ronaldo incident from last season and the ongoing Jadon Sancho fiasco are evidence of that.
