It has been a very horrifying start to the ongoing season for Erik ten Hag's Manchester United despite a fruitful debut campaign for the Dutchman under the lights of Old Trafford last term.
Manchester United has hit rock bottom in both Premier League and Champions League games this season with their latest upset coming against Newcastle United in the Carabao Cup fourth round on Wednesday.
The Red Devils were humbled 3-0 at Old Trafford by the Magpies just three days after suffering an embarrassing derby loss against Manchester City in the league. It is indeed troubling times for Manchester United and Erik ten Hag could be on the brink of losing his job at Old Trafford.
Rasmus Højlund, who appeared to be Erik ten Hag's statement signing of the summer has clearly brought pace, aggression, strength and strong link-up play into Man United's attack this term but the Dane international is yet to hit tje ground running in terms of goals scored. The 20-year-old has found the back of the net trice in the Champions League but he still awaits his Premier League goal in a Man United shirt after seven matches played.
Now, with all that in mind and no further delays, let's quickly take a look at the main central message of this article.
Below are the five players to blame for Man United's disastrous start to the ongoing campaign.
1. Andre Onana
As the last line of defence, Andre Onana is simply not doing enough to help Manchester United at the back.
The 27-year-old joined Manchester United this summer after a blockbuster 2022-23 season with Inter Milan. He has failed to hit the ground running at Old Trafford but has put up some excellent display in games against Copehagen and Manchester City.
2. Lisandro Martinez
With the "Licha" injured, Man United has been vulnerable at the back, allowing minor oppositions to cut their defence wide open with ease.
3. Casemiro
Just 11 games into the new campaign, the Brazilian's body appears to be failing and Manchester United clearly cannot rely on the 31-year-old anymore.
4. Bruno Fernandes
Bruno Fernandes is without doubt, Man United's best signing since the departure of Sir Alex Ferguson.
Form is temporary and class is permanent but the former Sporting midfielder is simply playing at his very worst at the moment.
5. Marcus Rashford
The England star is undergoing a serious dip in form but he has played the most games for Man United this season.
