Looking at United's issues, we could easily pin point the problem at defense, and yet they are not addressing that and trying to get even more attacking players. If they bought a good centre back for this team this season, things could have been so different but they didn't, even their wing backs are not good enough, they really need 4 better players in all those four positions and they are just ignoring it.
I would say their midfield and attacking line seems ok enough, that part of the team is good, and they even gained Mainoo on top of it, so that is really a good situation. However their defense is horrible, like seriously they are still playing Maguire, who is actually better than last year but still sucks so much.
Basically, Erik ten Hag has tried to improve or overcome Manchester United's defense line in the last transfer window but unfortunately, the players brought in by Manchester United failed to provide good performance and contributions this season. Therefore, Manchester United's defense line is still weak even though the transformation has been carried out there. But yes, at least there is still another opportunity next season and as such, it is of course a big hope that Erik ten Hag doesn't make a mistake in choosing new players later. Because of course, if next season Manchester United getting or experiences failure again, this factor will also put Erik ten Hag at risk of being fired.
after experiencing failure last season and this season, have we ever thought if Man United players actually hope for a new coach?
I don't think that Ten Hag is bad, but sometimes a team has the desire to change its coach so that the team's performance will still look weak even though it has been rotated as best as possible, it still looks bad.
let's take the example of the problem with teams from other leagues such as Roma, which always looked bad when Mourinho was still the coach since the start of the season and after the arrival of the new coach, his performance improved very much.
this is what I mean, sometimes some players don't get along with the coach so that the stability between the player and the coach cannot be integrated and will only appear like last season.
however, it is difficult to replace Ten Hag at this time because Man United is very close to the coach.
