Into his 3rd season, what is the style of play???? Man United lost its identity.

Academy players smashing it at all levels, season after season. But when it comes to first team, everything going downhill.

Man United: Not a defeat but an embarrassing one!

If we talk about performance of Man United, a pathetic one both individually & collectively. The basics of football are missing. Hence, there is no point in pin-pointing a single player. Everyone was terrible.
The stadium is flat, the players heads were down, the football Man United was playing is awful.

Bruno and Erik Ten Hag talking about red card:

There is no point in talking about the red card. That didn’t change anything.
That happened on the 41st min & by then united had only taken 3 shots & Tottenham had 12. If anything the card might help is that it forces Bruno to get a rest which he absolutely needs. Bruno doesn´t look like a leader. He looks always complaining on the field. He is playing the worst football this season for United. Erik Ten Hag not rotating the Bruno is a major problem.

Erik seriously lacking the quality to get the things done from his team. He may have planned all games with strategy or tactics with best of his abilities but players failed to execute it from time to time. It seems like United has Manager with no plan or creativity or tactics or strategy to win a game. There is no consistency or discipline.

On the other hand:

Ten Hag won united the FA Cup last season!! He ended united´s trophyless drought. He’s the chosen one. All he needs right now is support from united fans and he will deliver. “Sack him or not?? Manchester United fans appreciate what he’s doing them??” are the big questions that Man United board and Management has to decide.

If he doesn´t get back to winning ways or improve performance of a team in coming Europa league against Porto. Man United board would have no choice other than to sack him. But who would replace him, will be a big question again.

Tottenham: On the other side, they played exceptionally well at Old Trafford. If Son starting, it would have been 5-0.

“A great win but an even better performance. I thought the lads were outstanding today — I’m super proud of the effort.”
- Ange, Tottenham Manager

Man United vs Tottenham, Pre-match Analysis:

For Man United, Erik Ten Hag is on a media trial. He needs a collectively decent first half of the season. No matter how much media want him to be sacked after each game, he needs to get his team deliever a win. Unless results and performances improve rapidly, the pressure will become unbearable. So win this game, and things won´t change.
United team looks good on paper – the defence seems to have gelled together & hopefully Ugarte finds his feet and gives Bruno freedom to find his form again.

Tottenham Manager Ange Postecoglou said, “He said Old Trafford is always “a tough” place to go but it is a challenge Spurs “will be ready for”.

 Tottenham play a dangerous high line and Man United are not great at the back, so it’s a very open football match. We can expect many goals in this match.
