Roy Keane's Initial Assessment of Erik ten Hag's Reconstruction Could Boost Manchester United's Season

25/09/2023

A lot has gone wrong for Manchester United so far this season, a lot of it self-inflicted.

The degradation of the side in the opening games has been concerning and completely zapped all the optimism that was built over Erik ten Hag's first season in charge. The team has seemingly gone back to its default setting of frail, undisciplined and lacklustre.

But a lot of the early struggles have been down to injuries. United have suffered a remarkable number of them given it's still only September and have been without over 10 players for multiple games.

Jadon Sancho and Antony are both missing for off-the-field issues but Raphael Varane, Lisandro Martinez, Luke Shaw, Aaron Wan-Bissaka, Mason Mount, Harry Maguire, Sofyan Amrabat, Rasmus Hojlund, Amad, Tom Heaton, Tyrell Malacia and Kobbie Mainoo have all spent time on the sidelines.men's air jordan 1 low bulls

Any team would be rocked by having so many key absences. Not only because they are without several crucial players but because of the instability that brings to the side.air jordan 1 retro high black red white

Ten Hag has only been able to name an unchanged starting XI on two occasions and never for more than two successive matches. Given the change of play the Dutchman is trying to implement with the roles of new signings Mount, Hojlund and Andre Onana, it's impossible for the side to get settled when it's constantly changing.

That has been an impossibility this season because of the continuous injuries but there was at least progress on Saturday with a hard-fought win over Burnley. United were far from brilliant but they dug in, worked hard and picked up an important win.air jordan 1 low white tan light and gum

There will likely be changes to the starting XI again, though. Sergio Reguilon left the field injured while Varane and Amrabat are back in action. But the sooner Ten Hag can start naming a consistent line-up the quicker United could begin to find their form.
