Is United regressing?
Ten Hag’s appointment last season injected hope into Manchester United, which had witnessed a string of disappointing coaching selections following Sir Alex Ferguson’s retirement.
He successfully secured the team’s first trophy in six years and appeared to elevate the off-field standards.
However, instead of building on this momentum in the current season and launching a title pursuit, there is a sense that the team is regressing.

Following Saturday’s dismal performance Ten Hag praised a few of his chargers.
While it’s true that they had a goal disallowed when Rashford took the ball out of play before passing to Hojlund, and the English forward struck the crossbar, if anything, they were let off easy.
