Erik ten Hag has absolute authority at Man United but he is not being as bold with his in-game management as last season.
At 25 minutes to seven on Saturday evening, Erik ten Hag strolled out of the Old Trafford tunnel and into the rain. The weather was a deterrent but dozens of avid Manchester United fans were still stationed either side of the barricades to provide a send-off.
They have the same number of points after seven games as four years ago, when United entered the October international week with back pages detailing a possible early demise for Ole Gunnar Solskjaer. As was United’s penchant under Solskjaer, they counter-attacked, giving chapter and verse on the infamous ‘cultural reset’. On Saturday evening, Gary Neville seriously prescribed a ‘cultural reset’ for United.
Rashford had five goals eight games into last season and is on one in eight this season. His performance level is worsening and the matchgoers’ disapproval has been audible against Palace, Burnley and Brighton. United have scored a derisory seven goals in their seven league games. A matchday staff member suggested Alejandro Garnacho come on at the interval against Palace. When he did in the 61st minute, it was for Facundo Pellistri just as the Uruguayan was hitting his stride. Ten Hag needs to be as brave with his in-game changes as he was in his first season.
This was always going to happen and it has come early. How often it happens is the concern for United. A club like Brighton can be patient easing in unknown quantities recruited for tuppence but the stokes will always be in orbit at United. They do not have an adequate squad environment to aid Hojlund.
“We were chasing the game throughout and it’s difficult to get back in it,” Mount admitted afterwards. “There are areas we need to look at but it’s a frustrating one to take.
