You are right. However, Manchester United managed to win several matches. But their performance was not strong. Their defense is still very weak. However, the performance of their attacking players has improved compared to earlier. Manchester United conceded 14 goals in 7 matches. Today they will play against Everton. In the last 7 matches, Everton's attempt did not happen. I think Everton will be able to draw in today's match with Manchester United.

The reason he didn't play in the game against City also seemed quite contrived in my opinion which made me a little less fond of this because this kind of thing would make Ronaldo even more uncomfortable at Manchester United.
But it is true that Ten Hag may also have some other considerations because by looking at the current condition of Ronaldo, which in terms of performance is also clearly a bit lost, this could indeed be another thing for Ten Hag's consideration.

Interestingly, for example, Scholes considers the provision of playing time for Ronaldo in the Europa League to be disrespectful on the part of Ten Hag:

He said on BT Sport: "I think it is almost more disrespectful playing him on a Thursday night in the Europa League. This man is a world superstar.
I am not saying at 37 years of age he should be starting the games, the big games especially, but this is a competition that is hard to get yourself motivated for."

I tend to trust his opinion. The Europa League is a junk tournament for any big team and the game there is very different from the serious games in the Premier League, even against weak teams.
And by the way, I'm sure Ten Hag won't back down from his strategy of ignoring Ronaldo - even United's crappy results bother Ten Hag less than fighting Ronaldo for influence at the club. And it seems to me that both will leave United - Ronaldo on their own initiative, and Ten Hag will be fired.

I totally agree with you. Manchester United coach Ten Hag is still not friendly with the players. And his conflict with Ronaldo is quite visible. He doesn't want Ronaldo being used in Premier League matches. But Ronaldo is still a world-class player. His fitness is still excellent. If Ronaldo is brought on after 60 minutes, he is still capable of performing well. But of course, Ten Hag should help to strengthen the bonding of team players with Ronaldo. But Ten Hag is probably not helping Ronaldo. This is why we are not getting the expected performance from Ronaldo even in Europa League matches.

It is true that Ronaldo is not in the plan of Manchester United coach. The coach is playing normal football where the number nine player will be the one that will counter-attack and press the football, this is what Ronaldo will not do well due to his age, he cannot do that kind of work that is expected of him by Eric . That is why he normally comes from bench. If Eric is to incorporate Ronaldo into the Manchester United team he should reverse to 4-3-3 formation, with 4-3-3 formation, Ronaldo can find his place in the squad either from the left-wing or at the centre of the three

I think, the fault of poor performance is coming from the coach because their coach is benching some players that are good in the first half and used players that are good in the second half to play first half, which is the major challenge Manchester united are facing this season. If Manchester united coach can allow Ronaldo and other potential players that are good in the first half to play the first half, I think Manchester united will be favour in their remaining matches. Cristiano Ronaldo is willing to perform well in Manchester united but their coach is not giving him the opportunity to perform like the way he used to give other players.

Maybe it can be like that. But what is certain is that his age has made him experience a decline in performance, physique and stamina are obviously very noticeable to be reduced. He is often frustrated and disappointed because he cannot take advantage of the opportunities he has obtained. But I like him so much, he still tries to perform to the maximum with his strength.
Ten Hag should be able to take advantage of his remaining strength. Not much running but effective in scoring goals. The style of play that was compiled should support Ronaldo to still be able to play well.

Cristiano Ronaldo sits on the bench too much. So that his ability becomes dull and less honed. but if Cristiano Ronaldo was given more chances then I think he could be even better. the same as in yesterday's match, Cristiano Ronaldo looked less confident throughout the match. his face was full of stress. but after he managed to pass the ball to Martial and managed to score. only then can I see Cristiano Ronaldo become more active in his movements. but unfortunately time remaining in the match is only a little. I hope Ten Hag should be able to give equal opportunities to all players, including Cristiano Ronaldo.

There is no need to be disappointed with Manchester United's performance at this time, because it is part of the coach's tactics as well and the stamina that Manchester United must have at this time is very much. Because Manchester United are not only competing in the Europa League, but also in the Premier League, and their players must also keep themselves fit before playing in the 2022 World Cup.

Actually it wasn't like Roma weren't caring about the Europa League in this match. They found many goal chances against Betis and they were the side to get ahead first as well. But somehow they couldn't do against Betis' making a big comeback and win by 2-1. This happened in even a home match for Roma which was more interesting.

Maybe Roma are one point behind Ludogorets in their group but I still don't believe they can end the stage behind them. Ludogorets beat Roma before but Roma would have their revenge later. Roma would easily defeat HJK as well so they should still be able to move on in the Europa League. After winning the Conference League title their new target must be winning this one. 

Group C on UEFA Europe League seem have just get one slot available only pass to next round as play off way after Real Betis won from AS Roma last match, now position standing awhile

• Real Betis 9
• Ludogorets 4
• AS Roma 3
• HJK 1

Seems left 3 match later become final match for all team except with Real Betis because have 9 points and have bigger chance can lead first standing position in this group, another team have the same chance although with HJK because 1 point get now still not close chance qualify to next round depending left 3 match later success won.

It's true that regardless of anything like this, it still needs some adjustments, especially there are still some new players who still need more adaptation, especially perhaps for Casemiro who currently has a slightly different position when compared to when he was at Madrid and in fact compared to last season when MU can actually be said to be successful so far although there are still things that need to be improved.
I personally don't feel this is bad, now it's just a matter of seeing if Ten Hag will be better in the future or still the same but with him at the moment I still feel he will get even better.

I disagree, they may not be able to change it overnight, but after last year’s terrible season, they did not change enough of the players if you ask me. They got Antony and Casemiro, and they are both great additions to the club, and Lisandro Martinez is a great player as well but that’s about it.

I do not think that Eriksen is as good as United level, he could be at a more midtable team or a lower level team but he is not starting 11 at United level for me. They needed better defence, and got only one good defender, that alone shows that their roster wasn't ready for it. They at least recovered a bit and doing fine so far, but they really need a better team for sure.

In fact, for the big teams, the group stage of the Europa League is nonsense (like this whole tournament), so it's hard to draw conclusions. But in general, I sympathize with Ronaldo, but I'm also happy for the haters - after the game, I saw a lot of funny memes about how Ronaldo can't score a goal.


Ludogorets have 4 points, and the victory over Roma is already in their asset - this is a big advantage in such a short group stage. Therefore, although now Roma still have chances that depend only on themselves, each game becomes decisive.
By the way, it will be funny if Roma is knocked out in the Conference League and win it again 

6 goals from Manchester City and 2 goals from Omonia I would not call stabilization. And in general, even in those games where Manchester United wins, they do not play from a position of strength - basically they play from a defensive position and wait for their chance. This strategy works (sometimes) against favorites like Arsenal, Liverpool, but against weaker teams this strategy will often result in draws which is a big loss of points. I think it's too early to assume that Manchester United has stabilized.

Their internal problems are still quite a lot to be solved.
They do have a lot of quality players and of course have expensive prices but they are still very difficult in terms of chemistry and cohesiveness obviously this is still very difficult in my opinion for a club like MU.
But in fact, when compared to last season, of course this season is still getting better. I'm still pretty sure over time Ten Hag will understand and make United even better.

We always expect good performances from players like Ronaldo. But the performance of a legendary player like him has been very poor this season. Ten Hag is not using Ronaldo correctly. Ronaldo is not in Ten Hag's match plan. Ronaldo is unable to adapt himself to the team. And I don't think he's getting any help from coach Ten Hag. And so we see Ronaldo's poor performance in every match.

But at least there is an improvement when compared to last season which was worse than this season. Slowly but surely they continue to improve themselves in every game. Ten Hag came at a time when Manchester United were in a really bad state and this season we can see the changes he's made. Although not a significant change but it's better than we saw them before. Some of the changes he made in the lineup became one example of the courage of a coach in implementing strategy. It will still take time for Ten Hag to take his upbringing to a better level.

He seems dissatisfied with himself and the current coach's decision. But he couldn't do anything. I agree that he has to accept the situation, otherwise I see his performance will decrease even more in the future. Old age can't lie in his looks, he's very ambitious but can't make it happen, that's what I think makes him look stressed. I still believe that he's still not done, but he has something to put in terms of his ego.

Well yes, with the CR7 thing it is obvious that they need a reestablishment, they know that CR7 is not a primary player for them and it is something hard for him as well as for the fans, a team that allowed him to form is a shame that they are burying him so much for fault of a technical director, however there are problems that plague the player a lot, events that have happened in his life recently, for this reason I think there are many "buts" that have put the player, but the MU is not the same I also see that there is not much camaraderie in the team and that is what has led the team to decline, however I emphasize that if they plan to bring Harry Kane and he is with CR7, it could change the face of the team.


Obviously there is discord between the players, for me it was all because of Ten Hag, Man United still don't know what a tremendous mistake it was to have hired that guy, he hasn't won practically anything and is taking the team to an abyss, For me, not so much the players are to blame, but their technical director, there is no other way, the team is very good, but if you leave the stars alone throughout the championship it is difficult for anything to be achieved, however in the last game he scored to CR7 for all the pressure he has had, this is something that has no name, because also Casemiro who comes from winning the League and a UCL also leaves him there, so the problem is the coach.


What happens is that it is very difficult for CR7 to do things well, on the other hand he came to play not because of Ten, but because of all the criticism that the coach received after always putting him on the bench, I think it is something that should not do to any player, if you don't want him in a team, well, he should have let him go, and not put him in a very uncomfortable situation where he has obviously lost some action, conditions, everything, it's not that CR7 is very good either, he's a person who is going through a very difficult moment, because losing a child is not something easy to overcome, the most important thing is that everyone has turned their back on him, I think that those who have not lost a child should not know the pain that is lost, in my case thank God I have not lost any, but that must affect everything.

Some seasons, Ronaldo used to have a slow start. I remember even the media will be trolling him and he will be pained. But at a time he will turn around his performance and start scoring goals.
Why he hasn't picked till now is because he has not gotten enough playing time. If Erik gives him some more playing time, he will find his form and happiness again.
