Ten Hag just has a crappy system for the players we have. Wrong formation.

Not sure I agree with that. Most of these players are his players.

Those playing not brought in under Ten Hag:
- McGuire at CB, though he likely won't feature as much with De Ligt and Yoro ahead of him
- Shaw or Dalot at LB
- Fernandes
- Rashford
Lindelof, Mcguire, Dalot, Shaw, Bruno, Rashford, and some Academy players we're under the Glazers.

You have to look at our highest earners. Casemiro, Antony, Rashford, Mount, etc are all on wages from the Glazers and no one wants to pay for, so we are stuck with them.

I think we are agreeing about the same thing. All the players bought, excluding this year were under the glazers. And 2 years under ten hag.

It is clearly either the system or its the players now. I think we are young and lack quality right now, so ill just blame our formation because we don't have the right players to run a 4-2-4

4-2-4 only works at Hürzler and Brighton.
You need to have a smart coach and a hard working team to make this a success.

These are the teams we should be beating. So many chances in the first half. Don't know why every year we struggle against Crystal Palace.

Officially the worst start to a PL season by a Manchester United team. Will Ten Hag be retained?

Can you imagine a manager, who needs a win to save his job, not starting the players he's hand picked?

Instead, he opts for a CB pairing of Evans and Maguire over Martinez and de Ligt. He elects to go with aging Eriksen over Ugarte, the DM Manchester United targeted and finally signed at the end of summer.

We need to move on from Ten Hag. Should've fired him during international break and replace him with Tuchel. Now I'll take Xavi just so we can get rid of Ten Hag.

Also really don't know why everyone likes Bruno so much. Turn on 2nd half and I'm watching him lose possession after possession. Every time he gets the ball on defense he's launching it into two defenders trying to get to the striker.

Only Palace and Southampton have scored fewer goals than United. I'm not sure United's collection of forwards is better than many of the teams above them. Maybe Fulham and Bournemouth?

Manchester City - Haaland, Doku, Savinho, Foden
Liverpool - Nunez, Jota, Gakpo, Diaz, Salah
Arsenal - Havertz, Saka, Martinelli, Trossard, Jesus
Villa - Watkins, Duran, Philogene, Bailey
Chelsea - Jackson, Palmer, Madueke, Neto, Nkunku, Sancho…
Brighton - Welbeck, Pedro, Ferguson, Mitoma, Minteh, Adingra, Rutter
Forest - Wood, Awoniyi, Elanga, Hudson-Odoi, Jota Silva
Spurs - Solanke, Richarlison, Johnson, Kulusevski, Son, Werner
Brentford - Wisse, Mbuemo, Schade, Damsgaard, Lewis-Potter, Carvalho
Fulham - Jimenez, Muniz, Smith-Rowe, Traore, Iwobi
Bournemouth - Evanilson, Semenyo, Tavernier, Outtara, Kluivert
Newcastle - Isak, Gordon, Barnes, Murphy, Almiron
West Ham - Antonio, Ings, Bowen, Kudus, Summerville
Manchester United - Zirkzee, Hojlund, Garnacho, Rashford, Amad, Antony
It's time for 5 refs.

No!

Erik had two more good years, at the very least. He just needed more backing -- two more Dutch players, another 200 million in the transfer market. The club's been unlucky, having suffered too many injuries, bad decisions, poor finishing, etc. Ineos is making a mistake here.

Spanish media says you are thinking about Xavi.

Good idea.

if you want to fall to the championship.

If they do hire Amorim, that means United might switch to a 3-4-2-1 formation. Can Rashford, Amad, and Garnacho play wing back? And if they can't are Dalot, Mazraoui, Malacia, and Shaw the right fit for wing back? I feel we don't have the right personnel for this formation, but what do I know.

I think those wingers would play in the 2 with Bruno and Mount.

Yeah our wingbacks are hurt but will have to do.

Garnacho can play in the spot Francisco Trincao currently plays in Sporting Clube de Portugal.

Don't worry Ruben will adapt. I'm very sad today cause Ruben was by far the best coach I've ever seen in Sporting (been watching since late 90s). He grew a lot in here too.

Don't worry, give him two years and he'll get the most out of the players he has.

I was hoping United would hire someone else. Hope United doesn't take some of our best players in the winter.

My foreign club is United but man this hurts a bit for sure.

Good luck to Ruben and United. They will rise soon. He's the right man for the job.

I bet we poach 2 or 3 in the summer. Hoping he is the one to get over the hill. We will get a good taste this year.
