Manchester united defeated in Old Trafford. Erik Ten Hag was frustrated and confused with his line-up, starting and making wrong changes in the game made them concede 3 goals. All United players was relenting, not able to create scoring opportunities and the ones they had they easily throw it away. Talking about missed chances, I will point out Marcus Rashford who had good opportunities and failed to net any goal in both halves. Always making his silly long runups that have zero contributions to the frontlines, although I was pleased with Rasmus Højlund performance, working smooth with Rashford who was described as a stingy frontline. We should give them time to fixed their mistakes and weaknesses.
I'm thinking maybe De Gea, Maguire and Ronaldo weren't the only problems for Man United last season, the whole team seemed to forget to defend and finish. They forgot how to win, and Rashford really angered me with his selfishness and greed in playing as if they didn't have a striker. When he played as a striker, he didn't know how to be a striker. When he was on LW, he was crazy about dribbling the ball all the way off the line rather than passing early to Hojlund.
Apart from that, I see Brighton's tactics as very appropriate. They know that Man United's wingers and wingers are tired, injured or fired. They kept the ball to the wings because they had more speed than Man United, and they knew Man United's midfield defense was slow without Amrabat. So they immediately knew, as long as they neutralized Man United's attacks while Man United were short of players, as soon as they got the opportunity to counterattack, they played on the wings, bombed and passed to the center forward who could shoot free shots towards the goal. It happened to Man United 3 times, that's why Man United lost 3-1.
