MU only has 3 players good enough to win the Premier League, who are they?

That is the headline in the commentary on the Manchester United situation from Sun Sports (UK) today, December 15. Last season’s achievements of coach Erik Ten Hag’s team now look miraculous. The role of leading the England team to success was once considered an impossible task. Now, the job of leading Manchester United back to its old glory is also considered an impossible task, Sun Sports wrote.

In the end, it drove all “red devils” fans crazy. Was last season the period when MU reached its peak under Erik ten Hag? This season, Ten Hag’s team doesn’t know what to do on the field. Ten Hag’s public statements about one IN progress and cohesion are almost illusory, such as Ten Hag’s statement that MU had a “good performance” in the 1-0 loss at Old Trafford to Bayern Munich in the Champions League.

MU has been eliminated from the Champions League and has now lost 12 out of 24 matches played, more than the “red devils” won (11 matches). MU’s seemingly light defeat to Bayern was their seventh loss at Old Trafford this season.

It led to MU’s worst performance ever in the Champions League group stage when they won the fewest points in history (4 points after 6 group stage matches). MU also received the most goals conceded in the history of an English club in the Champions League group stage when goalkeeper Andre Onana had to go into the net 15 times to pick up the ball.

MU only had one shot on target during the match against Bayern Munich, it came from a long-range shot by a defender, Luke Shaw. It is a match that MU must win, and at the same time hope that the remaining match in the same group between FC Copenhagen and Galatasaray will draw so that the “red devils” will continue in the Champions League.

At least, after MU was led by Bayern Munich, they also needed to fight for the hope of finishing the group stage in third place to qualify for the Europa League play-off round. But Erik Ten Hag’s army could not do that either.

In the Premier League, MU is the team that scores the sixth fewest goals and has a negative goal difference, their difference ranks 8th out of 20 teams. Most of the “red devils'” victories were very difficult and with narrow scores, except for the 3-0 win over Everton.

MU has a striker worth £ 72 million in Rasmus Hojlund, who has yet to score a goal in the Premier League. They have a goalkeeper worth 47.2 million pounds Andre Onana, who always “helps opponents score against MU”. They have an £85.5m winger in Antony, who only has one skill on the field and has not scored a goal this season.

MU has captain Bruno Fernandes, who is completely incapable of leading MU properly. And they have a player worth 73 million pounds, Jadon Sancho, who was completely expelled from the MU first team for daring to turn on his teacher Erik Ten Hag. All of that is Erik Ten Hag’s responsibility.

Dutch strategist Erik Ten Hag chose rookie Hojlund, who aspires to serve the “red devils” but does not have the ability to score goals in the Premier League. Ten Hag has signed Antony and Onana, both of whom worked with Ten Hag at Ajax.

Ten Hag stripped Harry Maguire of the captaincy and gave the captaincy back to poor Bruno Fernandes. He got rid of Sancho, even though MU needs talent on the offensive front. So, it’s obvious that MU should fire this failed manager, right?, Sun Sports pointed out and asked.

So which elite manager would want the job at Manchester United? And who can do it much better? Because United have tried quite a few managers, since Sir Alex Ferguson retired in 2013 and all were eventually pushed to the brink of insanity before a “fire warrant” was sent to them.

Graham Potter cannot save MU

MU has David Moyes – Fergie’s chosen man and Louis van Gaal, old-fashioned tactical master. They have Jose Mourinho, master of the dark arts and collector of trophies. And MU has the club’s legend, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, the man whose soul is said to reconnect with MU’s roots and cultural values.

None of them were successful because MU was an ineffective club, under the terrible ownership of the Glazer family and they continuously spent too much money on players without proper due diligence. bisexual.

Former Chelsea coach Graham Potter is currently said to be likely to be selected by MU if the “Red Devils” leadership decides to fire Erik Ten Hag. But if Potter or any other new manager arrives at Old Trafford, what will his starting point be? Where is the foundation to build?

We often say that clubs are missing 2 or 3 players to compete for major titles. For Manchester United, that number would be 8 or 9. Let’s take a look at the current squad and identify the players who are good enough to be in a team that can challenge for the Premier League and Champions League titles.

MU only has 3 good enough players

World Cup-winning Argentine midfielder Lisandro Martinez is an excellent signing for MU, he will definitely be named. Luke Shaw is an elite left-back and Marcus Rashford, if fully fit and focused like last season, is good enough. After that, MU had no one left.

Alejandro Garnacho is an extraordinary talent but he is not good enough. At age 18, midfielder Kobbie Mainoo also has potential. But the idea that a new coach can bring MU into the Top 4 Premier League this season is unrealistic.

The fact that Ten Hag led MU to third place in the Premier League, with Champions League qualification and two domestic cup finals last season, now seems like this journey is quite magical. On Sunday, MU face the worst possible match, a trip to Anfield to face rivals Liverpool, a club with the unity, quality and desire that only MU has. can dream.

Last season, when Liverpool was having difficulty in the transition period, they defeated MU 7-0 at Anfield, when captain Bruno Fernandes had a fight on the field and asked Ten Hag to replace him. ta.

Bruno Fernandes will be suspended in the MU match against Liverpool because he has received 5 yellow cards this season. Most recently, Bruno Fernandes scolded the referee again during MU’s miserable 0-3 loss at Old Trafford’s home field to Bournemouth in round 16 of the Premier League.

Former MU coach Ole Gunnar Solskjaer revealed in a recent interview that two players refused the MU captaincy when he was in charge. It was an astonishing statement from a man who has always held United close to his heart.

Bruno Fernandes, a hot-tempered, selfish and irritable person, finally became MU captain despite not having “leadership qualifications”. Just like without a leader, MU has no attack plan, no creativity, no ruthlessness and little cohesion in defense.

The majority of these were created by Erik Ten Hag. The Dutch strategist has just confirmed that he does not believe he will be fired by MU and he also has a detailed plan to restore MU. But Ten Hag would not be surprised if he was fired by the leaders of the Old Trafford team. And it wouldn’t hurt for a man to quit a supposedly impossible job at the “theater of nightmares”…
