After an initial good job, Ten Hag's team seem to be stalling, with so many glaring problems
Rashford – who is not the most diligent presser in his preferred role on the left – was uncomfortable and easily disheartened when his attempts to press as a centre-forward were unsuccessful. It was easy for Brighton to attack the spaces down United’s left and a bad situation was made worse by the continued oddity of Casemiro’s 2023-24 season so far.
The people who make up the wider United institution were so impressed by the tactical discipline Ten Hag brought to the club after his summer 2022 arrival from leading Dutch side Ajax that he now has a level of oversight and responsibility where he risks being over-encumbered. Five matches is a small sample size, but no United player is performing at a higher level than last season.Key players on the road to February’s Carabao Cup final win appear overburdened and unable to carry out orders to the same level. In his second season at the controls, United’s manager wants to embark on a journey to turn this squad into one that finds power out of transitional chaos, but his team find themselves over-reliant on counter-attacks.
