Manchester United FC

this loss could be more good than bad considering the window is still open. hopefully ten hag can use this to push for more signings, we need a rotational winger and a starting midfielder at least

also, we need a winger as backup. when we look to the bench our only backup options for sancho and rashford (who are very inconsistent to begin with) are elanga and garnacho. elanga brings absolutely nothing to this team while garnacho is still unproven

thoughts: every time i see mctominay on the pitch, i wish its his last ever game ronaldo was very good. all the stupid tacticos who yell that he should be sold are once again proven they don't know anything about football. his introduction changed the game for us and we were much better ten hag's decision to play eriksen at false 9 was wrong. we had no quality in midfield, no progression with eriksen playing upfield. the ball never even got to our attackers for chances to be created. he was much better when he was played deeper in midfield and should be playing there permanently rashford should be burying those chances. its still early in the season though, shouldn't make much of it martinez was good. decent debut this game badly shows why we need de jong. whenever we would try to build up with the ball, fred and mctominay would be missing to help in the buildup. our only form of progressing the ball was through progressive carries, and mctominay kept losing the ball when he tried to dribble with it. with a player like de jong, we would have a player who can drop deep to pick up the ball and progress the ball through neat and progressive passing and dribbles. i understand that ten hag really wants de jong, but with chelsea now in the race and the deal having stalled completely, we need to pursue another midfielder. as the window comes close to closing and clubs start their seasons, no proper club would want to sell their starting midfielders. we've just been sat back procrastinating and twiddling or thumbs for the past few weeks. need to pursue a midfielder badly
