Manchester United faces a new crisis after suffering a 0-3 defeat against Newcastle in the fourth round of the English League Cup, coupled with a similar loss to Manchester City in the 10th round of the Premier League. The team, under the management of Erik ten Hag, is plagued with numerous issues and is not proving to be a worthy adversary for the big clubs in England and Europe.

Both the аttаck and defense of the Red Devils have been performing poorly. With the defense conceding six goals in the last two matches, the team has only managed to score one goal in their last three outings, and that came from a rare goal by their out-of-favor center-back, Maguire, at Old Trafford.

Currently sitting in 8th place, trailing the league leaders by 11 points, Manchester United’s most achievable goal will be to compete for a top-four position in the Premier League this season, which secures a spot in the next season’s Champions League. However, to achieve that objective, they must first earn maximum points against weaker opponents.

In the upcoming 11th round of the Premier League, Ten Hag’s team will visit Fulham. The London-based club currently sits in 14th place and has struggled against the big teams, suffering defeats against Chelsea, Tottenham, and Manchester City. This presents a good opportunity for the Red Devils to secure all three points and improve both their position and confidence.
