Erik ten Hag is favourite to be the first manager to be sacked this season after a dismal home defeat to Spurs.
Tottenham set a remarkable record after demolishing the Red Devils.
Different football classes
boss Erik ten Hag said ahead of the game that it would be an intense, open game with both teams attacking and he wanted his players to control the game.
But what happened on the pitch was that Ten Hag’s team could not compete with Tottenham from the first minute.
Not to mention when the Red Devils were down to just 10 men.
Simply put, before Bruno Fernandes was sent off straight at the end of the first half, they were not solid in defence and allowed their opponents to break through easily.
The home team was unable to control the ball, and the away team was able to attack with the ball. They were attacked in the middle of the field, in the 14 zone, and in the half-space.
The worst thing is that Manchester United’s playmaking from the back is terrible. They lose the ball to Spurs after holding the ball for no more than 10 seconds. And this is not the first สมัคร ufabet game they have had problems with passing the ball.
It reflects that the playing style that Ten Hag installed for his team is seriously problematic, and the style is also unclear.
Spurs boss Ange Postecoglou has only been in charge for a little over a year, but his style of play has been clear since his first game in charge, and it remains as clear today as ever.
The gameplay is not good enough….
The fight is not possible, there is no variety…
The defensive line is disorderly….
Man Utd are very lucky they didn’t suffer a bigger defeat
Fernandes’ first direct red card
Portugal midfielder was sent off by referee Chris Kavanagh for lifting his foot high in a tackle on James Maddison’s shin, despite Bruno initially slipping.
The straight red card was the first straight red card in Bruno Fernandes’ career.
“In my opinion, it’s not a red card,” the Red Devils captain said after the game.
“I agree that it was a foul, but it wasn’t serious enough to warrant a red card,”
During his playing career for Udinese and Sporting Lisboa, he was sent off twice, both times for yellow and red cards.
Meanwhile, Bruno’s latest red card means he will miss United’s Premier League clashes with Aston Villa (away), Brentford (home) and West Ham (home).
Crisis from the beginning of the season
It looks like another crisis is coming for Erik ten Hag’s team after a poor start to the 2024/25 season.
• Dropped to 12th place in the table
Lost 3 of their first 6 Premier League games 24/25
• Negative goal difference
• 4 points away from the red zone and 6 points away from the top four area.
Lost 2 of the first 3 matches at Old Trafford.
• Lost to Liverpool 0-3 and lost to Spurs 0-3
• Only one goal was scored at home.
“There is always a new day. I told the players in the dressing room, ‘Okay, tomorrow is a new day. We will definitely come back,'” the Red Devils boss remained optimistic.
Ten Hag is now the favourite to be the first manager to be sacked this season.
Tottenham’s impressive record
It seems Ange Postecoglou enjoys playing against Manchester United.
The Spurs boss has picked up seven points from his first three games against United, more than any other Tottenham manager in Premier League history.
Dominic Solanke is the third English player to score in three consecutive Premier League games against Manchester United, after Jermain Defoe (November 2002) and Bukayo Saka (January 2023).
Dejan Kulusevski has now created the most chances at Old Trafford in the Premier League this season (9).
For the player who created the most chances at home for Man Utd in the 2024/25 league.
9 – Dejan Kulusevski (Spurs)
6 – Andreas Pereira (Fulham)
