New coach Erik ten Hag did not give Man United players a day off and forced Man United’s stars to run 13.8 km in training last Sunday after a disastrous 0-4 defeat to Brentford.
According to statistics, laziness is the reason for Man United’s failure. The total distance traveled by the Red Devils players in the loss to Brentford was only 95.6 km. While Brentford is 109.4 km. The number of sprints of Man United and Brentford were 65 and 90 respectively, the Red Devils were completely overwhelmed.
No player has scored in the 2022/23 Premier League yet. In the loss to Brighton, Man United scored thanks to an own goal by Mac Allister.
13.8 km is the difference between the distance traveled by Brentford and Man United players in the last fateful match
Man United’s stars seem to be walking on the pitch. In that match, Brentford became the third club to score 4 goals against Man United in just the first half. The two previous names were Tottenham Hotspur (October 2020) and Liverpool (October 2021).
Manchester United’s midfield and defense are in an alarming state, with three of the goals conceded as a direct result of individual mistakes.
When Man United conceded the goal, there was no positive reaction from the whole team and Ten Hag appeared annoyed on the bench. He was very frustrated with the team’s lack of initiative.
Normally, the team would be off on Sunday, but Erik ten Hag forced everyone to be in Carrington for training. Sky Sports reporter – Kaveh Solhekol said Ten Hag asked each player to run 13.8 km in 30 degrees Celsius as punishment.
The transfer season is coming to an end, the Manchester United board is eager, Ronaldo and Maguire urge
According to The Sun, Ronaldo, Harry Maguire and 3 other players, Marcus Rashford, Luke Shaw and Bruno Fernandes have sent an urgent message to the club’s leadership to “save” the team. Especially after a forgettable and disastrous start with 2 consecutive losses at the EPL.
New captain Erik ten Hag became the first Red Devils Coach to lose his first two games of the season in 100-year history of the club.
Currently, the Red Devils are at the bottom of the rankings with 0 points, conceding 6 goals and scoring only 1 goal. Ironically that goal was a home goal of a Brighton player. Currently, Man United is recreating the worst performance ever in 30 years, when it finished at the bottom of the Premier League table for the first time since September 21, 1992.
Therefore, the players expect to have new quality teammates when the transfer season ends in 15 days. Although Erik ten Hag shortened his summer vacation and was eager to change Man United very early, it seems that the Dutch coach’s “buying” plan did not go as expected.
Man United have only bought left-back Tyrell Malacia from Feyenoord, centre-back Lisandro Martinez from Ajax and attacking midfielder Eriksen – the former of Brentford.
Contracts “hard to succeed”
The Dutch leader is in “special care” Frenkie de Jong (Barcelona) and Antony (Ajax). Frenkie de Jong does not want to play at Old Trafford. Antony is being asked for too much by Ajax, so Man United does not seem to want to spend a lot of money on this deal.
Up to five players left the club (Paul Pogba, Nemanja Matic, Juan Mata, Jesse Lingard and Edinson Cavani) on free transfers when their contracts expired last season, but only three have arrived.
Recently, Man United “set their sights” on Bologna’s Arnautovic, but the Italian team refused to sell this player at a cheap price and the Red Devils fans also did not like the Austrian striker.
Young talent Benjamin Šeško – who is rated as “Haaland 2.0” chooses Leipzig but he will still play for RB Salzburg on loan.
The Adrien Rabiot case also came to a standstill, although Man United accepted Juventus’ offer for 15-20 million pounds but could not convince the French star to agree to come to England.
Other rumors include Atlético Madrid’s Matheus Cunha, Barcelona’s Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and forward Mauro Icardi of PSG. But pretty sure these names absolutely do not want to give up the Champions League.
