Manchester United hanging on by a thread

He Manchester United, after fifteen games, had the worst start to a season in sixty years. They are eighth in the Premier Leagueeleven points behind the leader, is out of League Cuphas collected three points out of nine possible in Champions League In addition to sports problems, there is an avalanche of non-sports problems.

Rarely seen Old Trafford as soulless after a 0-3 defeat against Newcastle UnitedEdit. Most of the spectators had already left the stadium when the referee blew his whistle to confirm the removal of the ‘red devil‘, who saw how Newcastle danced them on the field and laughed them off it: “Today 72,000 spectators attended the game. Today there are a few less,” he published in Twitter the official account of Newcastle moments before the end of the match.

This is the first time since 1962 that the United lost two games by three or more goals in a row and the worst was the first of the losing streak against eternal rivals, the City of Manchesterwho last decade spent a similar amount of millions, with the difference that the ‘Sky Blues‘They’ve won six Premier Leagues and one Champions League at this stage and United haven’t had it all.

The poor sporting situation is blamed on the club’s structure, which is ruled by the family Glazerwho was accused of having no sporting direction – until recently the team had no sporting director – and used the club to enrich itself, while it was sinking in the mud with a debt of more than 600 million euros.

After refusing to sell it, rejecting offers from Qatar and Ineos, the Glazer agreed to remove 25% of the club, which will go into the hands of Jim Ratcliffeowner of Ineoswhere the fans trust to revitalize this club with better sporting decisions.

And it was that Gary Nevilleclub legend, hit the nail on the head by ensuring this United It is a “cemetery of football players”. All that came seemed worse than what was paid for them. Case like Casemirowho got five Champions under the arm and part of one of the best central midfields in history, and who has been out of rhythm all season, Anthonywhere 100 million was paid and undecided, Mason Mountformer leader of a Chelsea champion of Championsit makes no difference, Rasmus Hojlund He still hasn’t seen a goal in the Premier…

Who seems untouchable despite this streak Erik Ten Hag. The Dutch coach is largely responsible for summer signings, such as the case of Andre Onanaand the one that will be dealt with willingly in situations like at Cristiano Ronaldo last season and Jadon Sancho this, that the Englishman was completely removed from the first team if he did not apologize for making sure they used him as a scapegoat.

“I have full responsibility for equipment that does not work. I assume so“said Ten Hag after the defeat against Newcastle.

Your credit has not been exhausted and the Glazer They are patient, as seen in Ole Gunnar Solskjaer He lasted about three years in office. The Dutchman, in his first season, returned to United in ‘Champions’ with third place – helped by setbacks of Chelsea, Tottenham Hotspur and Liverpool– and won the first title in five years in the League Cup. This gives the coach an opportunity, which is not at risk. He still has a year and a half left on his contract and his salary is not surprising, as he earns less than 10 million per season, less than half of his name in City of Manchester.

There is also no alternative to Ten Hagsto expel the Dutchman, no plan b and it would mean a leap in disadvantage that is the opposite of what a team that once dominated Europe needs and this campaign will suffer to break into the top seven.

This weekend he will visit Fulhama team that last season they beat in the last minute with a goal from Alejandro Garnacho.
