DISAPPOINTMENT AT THE SACRED GROUND: Manchester United put on a poor performance at home, with Casemiro repeatedly losing possession and Zirkzee’s efforts proving futile

Football — 09/02/2024

MU was devastated by their “eternal” rival Liverpool right at Old Trafford in the English derby. The “Red Devils” midfield had a disastrous day and were punished by the duo Luis Diaz – Mohamed Salah.

Casemiro lost possession twice in the first half, and Diaz capitalised on both occasions to score twice. In the second half, it was Kobbie Mainoo’s turn to make a mistake, allowing Salah to score the winning goal for the visitors.

In the stands, Ratcliffe could not hide his emotions. The British billionaire was seen repeatedly holding his head and looking down to express his disappointment.

Ratcliffe completed his minority stake in United in February and brought in new faces behind the scenes, hoping to restore the Red Devils’ status. However, despite bringing in five new players in the summer transfer window, the Old Trafford side’s performances and results have yet to improve.

Meanwhile, many loyal MU fans were even seen leaving Old Trafford, even though the match had more than 20 minutes left.

MU legend Gary Neville said bitterly: “When there are only 20,000 fans left in the stadium at the end of the match, the situation is really bad.” Another MU legend, Roy Keane, harshly criticized his former team’s performance on television.

Sharing with Sky Sports, Erik ten Hag remained optimistic after Manchester United’s 0-3 defeat to Liverpool.

Welcoming Liverpool at Old Trafford, Erik ten Hag and his team suffered a humiliating 0-3 defeat. This result of course did not satisfy the management and fans of Manchester United.

“We have a lot of games to play and I know where we will be at the end of the season. A lot of games, a lot of weeks, and we will be aiming for titles .”

“I don’t feel like we’re in the same mould. Sometimes too open. I saw good things but I don’t want to talk about them after the 3-0 defeat to Liverpool.”

“We have to refresh the dressing room. Today, the first half for Matthijs de Light, the first start for Joshua Zirkzee. We will catch up and we will come back .”

Despite Erik ten Hag ‘s optimism , it is clear that he needs to find the best solution soon to help the “Red Devils” improve the situation as soon as possible.
