The defeat against Nottingham Forest increased Manchester United’s number of losses to 21 in 2023.
Ten Hag’s team lost a total of 5 matches in December, a worst record not seen since 1933. They are also in the top 3 teams scoring the least goals in the Premier League 2023-2024. With 22 goals since the beginning of the season, MU is only ahead of Sheffield United (15) and Burnley (20), the two weakest teams on the Premier League rankings and are in the relegation race.
This is also one of the worst achievements of the “Red Devils” in history when the previous number of losses was in 1921 (24 matches), 1930 (28 matches), and 1972 (25 matches).
If in the entire 2022-2023 Premier League season, Man United lost only 9 matches, then in the 2023-2024 season, that is the number of losses when the Premiere League is only halfway through.
Not only are there many losses, but Man United’s strikers are also playing ineffectively, with the number of goals the club has scored up to now only 22 goals.
The comeback victory in round 19 of the Premiere League against Aston Villa was the only highlight for the “Red Devils” can do so far. However, before that, Ten Hag’s team lost 13 out of 26 matches, and they also went 380 minutes without scoring in all competitions.
“Red Devils” fans It seemed that the club would have a successful season when in February Man United defeated Barcelona in the Europa League play-off series right at Old Trafford. Immediately afterward, Man United won against Newcastle in the League Cup final, helping the “Red Devils” Quench their thirst for titles. After this victory, Ten Hag once shared that the League Cup trophy is the beginning for Man Utd this season.
But up to now, the 2023-2024 season is a nightmare for the red half of Manchester. In addition to poor results in the Premier League, Ten Hag’s team was also eliminated from the Champions League and lost their spot in the Europa League after losing to Bayern.
Manchester United’s аttаck this season is one of the things that disappoints fans. This could also be the Dutch strategist’s mistake when he puts the responsibility of scoring goals on the shoulders of young players or stars. The star is in poor performance.
The number of goals Man Utd has has proven the badness of the аttаck. Of the 22 goals of the “Red Devils,” The attackers only contributed 8 goals. Antony, Ten Hag’s favorite, ended 2023 with only 1 goal in 33 Premier League matches.
Another star on Man Utd’s аttаck, Rashford, is also experiencing the most forgettable beginnings of his playing career. With 30 goals scored last season, Rashford is expected to be the “leader” who leads the аttаck of the “Red Devils”.
However, the higher the expectations, the greater the disappointment when the English striker’s performance was quite lackluster and many times with his confusing moves, he left opportunities to score. for Man United to pass in regret. At the end of 20 rounds, Rashford only scored 3 goals for the “Red Devils”.
In many matches, the striker born in 1997 played quite lacklusterly and had poor handling, causing Man United’s scoring opportunities to pass by in regret.
Or another disappointment is Rasmus Hojlund, who moved to play for Man United with a contract worth 72 million pounds and only scored 1 goal in 15 appearances.
