Also, Southampton played with one fewer player against Manchester United in the second half, which is another treason for them to lose.
In coming month of October we are having some interesting matches which will be going to have huge impact on Manchester United and Eric Ten Hag performance and career if they are able to bring some positive results then we can expect them to cheer about their future otherwise we can expect changes until January because now management will be not taken any risk for another poor season and having unpredictable performance.
Manchester United target is just top 4 and not to win the league. They are obviously not in the race to win the EPL but to be in the top 4. For any team to be in the top 4, they should have the ability to beat convincingly small and average teams while sharing and maybe losing points to the big teams. After tomorrow's match, we will understand the method that Erik Ten Hang has.
