Failures from front to back: Erik ten Hag is rocking again just 16 days into season
With Marcus Rashford and Casemiro struggling, the same worrying questions are back for Manchester United’s Ineos regime
Already, the new Erik ten Hag/Ineos project is on the back foot. This 3-0 shellacking by 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.
Trying to write this collapse off as a blip is fanciful because on show was a failure in basic competence, from front to back, epitomised by the catastrophes engineered by a hapless Casemiro that led to goals.
