Manchester United's poor start to the season has dampened the spirits after their Carabao Cup win. Erik ten Hag and his players are under pressure to find answers as they face Newcastle once again.
Eight months ago Erik ten Hag was dancing on the side of the Wembley turf, joined by a jubilant Antony and Lisandro Martinez as Manchester United celebrated their first trophy in six years.
The joy of that February night has disappeared in the rear-view mirror given the abject start to this season. United have been lethargic, lacklustre, listless and at times downright dreadful during the opening months of this campaign.ALSO READ: Ten Hag's comments should sound alarm bells ringing Antony has gone from a delighted dancer to a petulant player, shaking his head in annoyance when overlooked from the bench against City and then fortunate to avoid a red card when he did enter the fray. Martinez, something of talisman for this United side, is again out injured and Ten Hag is facing questions on everything from his style to recruitment and the dressing room.
Enter the Carabao Cup - often derided it proved crucial for the Reds last season and can be so again this. United are the holders and it is the most attainable trophy this term given they are only four wins away from winning it.
