Ten Hag under scrutiny as Man Utd fight for Champions League survival

Manchester United’s future in this season’s Champions League hangs by a thread ahead of Bayern Munich’s visit to Old Trafford, with an early exit in Europe sure to put more scrutiny on manager Erik ten Hag. The Dutchman tried to argue after victory over Chelsea last week that United’s season has not reached crisis-mode. But Ten Hag’s hopes that a turning point had been reached were short-lived as a 3-0 defeat at home to Bournemouth on Saturday saw a troubled campaign reach a new low. The Red Devils sit sixth in the Premier League after seven defeats in their opening 16 games. Yet, while there may be time to recover a place in the top four domestically, their need in the Champions League is urgent. Only victory against the German champions on Tuesday will give United any chance of progress to the last 16 and even then, they need FC Copenhagen and Galatasaray to draw in their final Group A match. United are fortunate to even have a shot at the knockout stages after a return of just four points from their opening five matches. No English side has ever conceded as many as the 14 goals that Ten Hag’s men have in five Champions League group games. A series of high-scoring shootouts in Europe contrasts sharply with United’s troubles to score goals in the Premier League. “We are really inconsistent. We have the abilities to do it, but you have to do it every game and every third day,” said Ten Hag after Bournemouth celebrated their first ever win at Old Trafford in style. “I think as a squad we are not good enough to be consistent and we have to work as a squad to improve that.” •⁠ ⁠Rashford’s demise – No United forward has scored at home in the Premier League all season as Marcus Rashford’s demise has contributed to his side’s struggles. Rashford scored 30 times in a career-best campaign for goals last season but has just two so far this season — one of which came from the penalty spot. The England international has exhausted Ten Hag’s patience and been dropped for the last two games. But Rashford could return against Bayern as his understudies have also struggled to shine. Alejandro Garnacho has produced flashes of brilliance, though remains wildly inconsistent as can be expected for a 19-year-old winger. Meanwhile Antony, who Ten Hag pushed to sign in a £86 million ($108 million) deal last year, has not scored in his last 25 matches. The Brazilian is just one of a long list of expensive flops that have seen United’s fortunes decline in a decade since Alex Ferguson departed as manager. Last weekend’s loss to Bournemouth was the 35th home league defeat suffered by United since Ferguson’s retirement. During the iconic 26-year reign of the Scottish manager, United were only beaten in the league at Old Trafford 34 times. Bayern may already be assured of their place in the last 16 as group winners but have a point to prove themselves after being thrashed 5-1 by Eintracht Frankfurt on Saturday. And the last time Bayern lost a Champions League group game was six years ago. United captain Bruno Fernandes said his side must “do their job” and hope for help in Copenhagen. “We know that the next game is going to be really tough – we have to win and wait for a good result in the other game for us,” said Fernandes. “We have to do our job, first of all, but we are more than capable of getting the result in that.” Read the full article

Revealed: Why Manchester United have made Mason Mount their new No.7

Revealed: Why Manchester United have made Mason Mount their new No.7 During their pre-transfer discussions, Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag made an offer to Mason Mount to wear the number seven jersey. This gesture from Ten Hag signifies the significance United places on Mount and the pivotal role he is expected to play in the team. Mount's acceptance of the number seven makes him the tenth player at United to don this iconic jersey since fixed squad numbers were introduced in 1993. Previously, Alejandro Garnacho was being considered for the number, which became available after Cristiano Ronaldo left in November. It is worth noting that fans were unable to purchase a home shirt with "Garnacho 49" printed on it last week. By wearing this legendary number, Mount joins the ranks of esteemed United players like George Best and Bryan Robson. On Wednesday, Mason Mount finalized his transfer from Chelsea to Manchester United and committed to a five-year contract with the possibility of an additional year. The number seven jersey at Manchester United holds significant historical significance. After Bryan Robson, Eric Cantona took on the iconic number during his first full season with the club in 1993-94. Following Cantona's sudden retirement in 1997, David Beckham inherited the number. Beckham eventually departed for Real Madrid in 2003, and it was during that same summer that Manchester United acquired Cristiano Ronaldo. Ronaldo wore the number seven jersey in two separate stints with the club. However, the number seemed to carry a curse after Ronaldo's departure in 2009, which saw him leave for a world-record transfer to Madrid. The acquisition of the number seven jersey by Michael Owen in 2009 was met with controversy, given his previous association with Liverpool. Unfortunately, Owen's tenure at Manchester United was plagued by injuries, and he managed to score only 17 goals over three seasons. Antonio Valencia took on the number seven in 2012 but had a woeful performance, leading him to request a return to his previous squad number of 25 after just one season. Angel di Maria, Memphis Depay, and Alexis Sanchez were three high-profile signings who all failed to live up to expectations while wearing the number seven jersey at United. They were considered expensive disappointments. Edinson Cavani, who arrived at United on the deadline day in October 2020, proved to be an inconsistent squad member, which raised doubts about his suitability for the number seven. Following the start of the 2021-22 season, Manchester United obtained special permission to reassign the number seven jersey from Cavani to Cristiano Ronaldo. However, Ronaldo's second spell with the club ended on a sour note when he conducted an unauthorized interview and expressed a lack of respect for manager Erik ten Hag.
