The Red Devils managed to avoid embarrassment by winning the match in the shootout. However, they squandered a 3-0 lead during regular time, resulting in a 3-3 draw. Although they ultimately secured the victory, the match highlighted several negative aspects of the club’s performance this season.
One of the glaring issues is the performance of manager Ten Hag. It has become evident that the Dutch boss is not meeting the expectations for a big club like United. The team’s record of 17 losses in 45 matches across all competitions further emphasizes this fact.
