3. Lack of vision
Unless and until United sort out this problem, there could be no other result but what they had against Brentford.
Manchester United has consistently made brain-dead signings like Cristiano Ronaldo who doesn’t suit their style. Erik ten Hag then signed a 5ft 9inch defender in Lisandro Martinez who cannot play against tall Premier League attackers, something that was laid bare in the Brentford game.
Meanwhile average players like Luke Shaw, Fred, Harry Maguire and many others. Problems like these need years to sort out, something that Manchester United is yet to start doing.
All these three reasons and many others mean Manchester United will continue to struggle this whole season.
