Manchester United’s evil gift

Manchester United have played 12 games so far this season, with an equal number of wins and losses. These poor results have put Ten Hag’s side in a tricky situation as they are 8th in the Premier League with 15 points and last in the Champions League in a Group shared with Bayern Munich, Galatasaray and Copenhagen.

Having finished 3rd in the last Premier League and having reached at least the quarter-finals of the Europa League, the current season was supposed to be one of the most take offs as he became one of the main entertainers in both the domestic league and the Champions League.

However, this is far from happening. Manchester United’s poor results are the product of many aspects: the worrying collective level, poor decisions in the formation of the team and some personal conflicts of the players both with Ten Haag and themselves.

For example, Manchester United made the decision not to renew his contract David De Gea and bought Andre Onana, recently a finalist in the Champions League with Inter. But the Cameroonian goalkeeper does not stop making mistakes that cost the team points. On the other hand, the Red Devils needed a 9 and got it Rasmus Hojlunda 20-year-old from Atlanta who still has a lot to prove.

The extra football problems at Manchester United

Jadon Sancho, a player the Red Devils paid €85m for in 2021, has been demoted from the first team for weeks due to a falling out with Ten Haag. The reason for the Englishman’s clash with the Dutch coach is unknown, but the footballer’s last game with Manchester United was on August 26.

Secondly, Anthony, for whom the English team spent 95 million euros, was also relegated for a few weeks but in this case the Brazilian was accused by his ex-partner of gender-based violence. After a while, Manchester United decided to integrate the winger back into training and the former Ajax player added minutes on October 7 against Brentford.

Manchester United need to pick up points in the Champions League

The last time Manchester United participated in the Champions League and failed to qualify for the last 16 was in the 2015/2016 season, under Louis van Gaal. At that time the Red Devils finished 3rd in Group B behind PSV and Wolfsburg.

Although there are still four dates to play and now the Red Devils play Copenhagen twice in a row, the a priori weakest opponent in the Group and who have only one point more than the English side, The situation continues to be worrying and the figure of Ten Haag is increasingly discussed because they thought this season would be very different.

For this reason, Manchester United now travel to Denmark and need a win against Copenhagen to settle down a bit in the Champions League. Meanwhile, almost a year after the Glazers put the club up for sale, the American family rejected a £5,000m bid from Qatari Sheikh Jassim bin Hamad Al Thani and for now the Americans will continue at the English institution, which The Red Devils fans don’t want.
