Man United were beaten 2-0 by Tottenham Hotspur and whilst their midfield has come in for criticism, their attackers haven't covered themselves in glory
Manchester United have had a week to forget with their glaring weaknesses highlighted at the Tottenham Hotspur stadium.
Against Spurs, they were overrun, with the athleticism of Yves Bissouma and Pape Matar Sarr, in particular, dominant. United looked soft and leggy, by comparison, with big holes on offer for the opposition to exploit. And yet, United could and should've changed the narrative before Sarr netted from close range. They had their chances and competed in the first half before their standards dropped after the break.
With United struggling for goals, the wide men haven't stepped up, Marcus Rashford aside. It was poor planning for United to start the season without a centre-forward and the expectations now on Rasmus Hojlund are even greater without him kicking a ball. Ten Hag has seen enough from the teenager to dislodge the big-money signing from Borussia Dortmund. He is edging closer to being permanently branded as an expensive addition that has failed to deliver at Old Trafford. He isn't the first.
