Manchester United has had a tough start to the Premier League season under manager Erik ten Hag, and the international break provides a chance to address various challenges.
Manchester United is currently facing a pivotal moment in their season under manager Erik ten Hag.
They’ve had a mixed start to the new season and currently find themselves in 11th place in the Premier League. Additionally, there’s ongoing uncertainty regarding a potential takeover, which has caused concern among United fans. The official supporters’ trust has even written an open letter to the Glazers, expressing their desire for a change in ownership.
The situation at Manchester United remains turbulent, with fans voicing their discontent with the club’s owners, the ongoing issues between Jadon Sancho and Erik ten Hag regarding training performances, and fresh criticism aimed at Anthony Martial. Mirror Football provides the latest updates on Manchester United’s news and developments.
Supporters send Glazer warning
The Manchester United Supporters Trust (MUST) has strongly urged the Glazer family to sell the club in light of the uncertainty surrounding the ownership of Old Trafford. Reports suggest that the Glazers are considering withdrawing the club from the market, a decision that MUST believes would be detrimental.
“If they are intending to remain as owners they must be made aware of the negative reaction that news is going to create and the continued chaos and disruption that their ownership will continue to elicit”, a letter from the group read.
“All in all, it’s been a process typical of their ownership of the club. Slow, opaque and increasingly looking like having a ‘worst case scenario’ outcome.”
Martial performances slammed
Anthony Martial has faced criticism for his demeanor and a lack of goal-scoring form, having not scored a goal this season. Despite starting in Manchester United’s recent matches, former European Cup winner Martin O’Neill believes that Martial needs to make significant improvements to his performance. The pressure is on Martial to deliver better results and contribute to the team’s success.
Anthony Martial has been slammed for his performances this season
“You just don’t feel as though they’re going to score bags of goals. For all of the talented players they’ve got going forward, you’re not confident in them at the moment. Anthony Martial’s demeanour would probably irritate you if you’re a manager”, he told Ladbrokes Fanzone.
“He just seems to mope and moan. He doesn’t do enough, he complains when he’s coming off – but you just think ‘You’re playing for Manchester United; you’ve got to be doing more!’ We’re not talking about an ordinary Premier League side here. It’s Manchester United. You’ve got to be better.”
Dressing room delivers Sancho verdict
There are reports of tension in the Manchester United dressing room regarding Jadon Sancho’s recent spat with manager Erik ten Hag. Ten Hag criticized Sancho’s training performances before the defeat to Arsenal, and Sancho responded by accusing Ten Hag of making him a “scapegoat.”
However, it seems that the dressing room is firmly in support of the manager, Erik ten Hag. ESPN reports that the players are on Ten Hag’s side in this matter, indicating that the majority of the team backs the manager amid the disagreement with Sancho. This situation highlights the importance of a cohesive and united team environment.
There are claims that some Manchester United players believe that Jadon Sancho’s performances and commitment have not met the required standards. Despite a potential move to the Saudi Pro League falling through, Sancho will continue to be a part of the Manchester United squad at least until January. This situation suggests that there may be concerns within the team about Sancho’s contributions on the field and his commitment to the club.
