Erik ten Hag elaborates on the reasons behind Manchester United’s subpar performance this season.

Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag attributes his team’s disappointing season to a lack of continuity and a string of injuries. Despite a promising debut campaign in 2022/23, where they clinched the Carabao Cup and secured a top-three finish in the Premier League, this season has been challenging.

Despite recruiting players like Andre Onana, Mason Mount, and Rasmus Hojlund during the summer transfer window, United failed to meet expectations. Elimination from the Champions League group stage and a sixth position in the Premier League standings have marred their season.

Ten Hag, who aimed to mold United into the world’s best transitional team, acknowledges their defensive vulnerabilities and struggles to score goals. He cites a significant injury crisis, particularly affecting key players, as a major setback.
