adminMANCHESTER. – When things are going well for you in the Premier League, that’s usually the moment to prepare for chaos – and so it has proved for Erik ten Hag and Manchester United.
Ripped to shreds by their rivals Manchester City, after a run of four successive wins prior, it is back to the drawing board for the Dutch boss in his ongoing bid to overhaul the club’s fortunes and bring them back to the big time.
On this display, that road seems long and arduous and a lot of work will need to be done on the training ground.
Ten Hag has a tough task ahead of him and watching Phil Foden and Erling Haaland make a mockery of his team will have been painful.
He will have been furious with what he’s seen — but having arrested their early season slump and secured impressive wins over Liverpool and Arsenal, is it truly time for panic stations yet?
His side did score three goals against a team who will surely be lifting the Premier League title next summer, so there might still be reasons for optimism.
But, after leaking six goals on Sunday, and four at Brentford, there is clearly something wrong about this United. – Sportsmail.
