Erik ten Hag has to regroup again just 16 days into new season as his Manchester United side crumble at home to Liverpool
could have been far more humiliating – and damaging. Two defeats from three Premier League outings is a dismal way to sign off before the international break, as Ten Hag and company seek to regroup a mere 16 days after the season’s start.
In July, during pre-season training at UCLA, Casemiro was spied flinging himself around to make last-ditch tackles. A mark of desperation, this proved an augury of the sad tale of his first half as his disintegration cost United two Luis Díaz goals. In added time of the first period, boos greeted Casemiro’s latest error, a mid‑range pass that went to precisely no teammate and bounced into acres of Liverpool turf.
Left out of Lee Carsley’s England squad, goalless and shotless beforehand, Rashford remains the same and has now gone 245 minutes without scoring. Retained by Ten Hag on Sunday, he needed to spark his season but failed again after a brightish beginning that featured effervescent bursts, a trip to a defensive zone to hold off Trent Alexander-Arnold, and the cleverness of thought when working a deft throw-in move with Diogo Dalot by running in behind Liverpool.
