Although he Manchester United managed to beat yesterday Chelseathe situation inside and outside the club seems as broken as it has been in recent years.
Many are focused on Erik ten Haag. The Dutchman, who last season was like the goose that laid the golden eggs, is widely discussed for the team’s results and games, but especially for the strange decisions in making the squad.
The English press is taking a lot of heat for the former Ajax player with his signings. This summer spent a mortar Rasmus Hojlund (20 years old) and his performance was very poor for what was expected of a striker 75 million euros. The same thing happens with Mason Mount, worth another 64 ‘kilo’, and André Onana, another 50, who had performances below expectations and demanding levels to the point of angering their own fans. Same as in Antony, signed last season for 95 million euroswho was a player who passed without pain or glory at Old Trafford.
To all these bad decisions, something unexpected has now been added. Those who save the Manchester United in recent weeks they have been nothing less than Scott McTominay and Harry Maguiretwo players already Ten Hags set aside in the preseason to force its sale but in the end they couldn’t find a way.
The midfielder’s case is the bloodiest. He went from not playing at all to being not only a key player, but the team’s leading scorer. On Wednesday, without further ado, he scored his fifth and sixth goals of the season to give him victory against Chelsea, a situation that was also repeated against Brentford, where he scored two goals, as well as against Sheffield.
He speaks very badly of the squad’s preparation McTominaya ‘box to box’ without specific technical skills gets more goals than Hojlund, which adds up to 5 onlyeither Rashford, which only made 2. In fact, Bruno Fernandes has only one in common with the Dane and Casemiro, so the midfield pulls the car of Manchester United.
Nor should we forget Harry Maguire. The centre-back, who was tipped to be stripped of his captaincy after his poor season, in an apparent invitation to find another team, had key performances as he earned minutes due to Varane’s defensive absences and Lisandro to such an extent that he was awarded the award for the Best Player of the month of November. The world is upside down.
