During the international break, a number of United players have had the opportunity to play and have performed well. Ugarte, who has yet to make his club debut, appeared in Uruguay's starting line-up, including defender Diogo Dalot and other players, all of whom scored goals. Especially McTominay, who has left the team, has scored goals every game, compared to Manchester United, who has scored less goals, is it that Ten Hag will not use it?
In the third round of the Premier League, there was a statistic that made Manchester United quite embarrassed, only Manchester United did not score in 10 games of 20 teams, and the remaining 19 teams scored. Even Ipswich Town and Southampton, who have lost all three points, can also break through the opponent's door after the two promoted teams lose.
Therefore, after three rounds of English surpassing, Manchester United's goal difference is already minus three, and it seems that the scene of struggling to "return to zero" has happened again. Last season, United scored 57 goals and conceded 58, the only team out of seven teams that qualified for European competition with a negative goal difference. Newcastle, which scored 85 goals, is ranked higher in the Premier League than Manchester United, but because Manchester United won the FA Cup, it is not a pity to miss the European competition.
Scoring goals is at the level of a relegation team, and this is a problem that United still face in the new season. In fact, among the Manchester United players, there is no shortage of players who have the ability to score, and in the past few UEFA Nations League games, even Dalot as a defender can score goals, which shows that Manchester United is still capable of scoring goals.
In the UEFA Nations League group stage, Portugal beat Croatia and Scotland in succession, and Ronaldo completed the 900th goal of his career, which was also congratulated by Manchester United. Meanwhile, in addition to Cristiano Ronaldo, the two games that helped Portugal score goals were Diogo Dalot and Fernandes. Two Manchester United players returned to the national team, both performed well, especially captain B Fei, who often became the key players in Portugal's decisive decision, but at Manchester United, it was a different ending. This also proves the reason why Fernandes was able to get a contract extension this summer.
It is worth mentioning that although Portugal beat Scotland, McTominay took the lead for Scotland, and in the last game against Poland, McTominay also contributed a goal, once helping the team equalize. In two games, Scotland scored a total of three goals, two of which were brought by Scott McTominay. Scott McTominay, who has been with United since he was five years old and saved Ten Hag on several occasions last season, had to leave Old Trafford 22 years later and leave the team he loves.
Zirkze, who made his third appearance for Netherlands, also scored and provided an assist, and for the first time in nine years, a Netherlands player was able to score on his first start. In addition, Weghorst who came off the bench and Manchester United's former loanee was also the icing on the cake.
The Tang Dynasty poet Han Yu has a poem, there is Bole in the world, and then there are thousands of horses, and thousands of horses are often there, but Bole is not often. Fans often say that McTominay's ability is not enough to gain a foothold in the giants, but in the national team, he often saves Scotland, and the same is true for Weghorst. To qualify for the European Championship in the summer, McTominay's repeated goals in the group stage contributed a lot, especially the brace against Spain to snatch the right to qualify from Norway.
Whether the process is exciting or not is the key to attracting fans, but the result is also quite important. The fact that a player like Scott McTominay has scored goals in major tournaments is a testament to his quality. Isn't Manchester United's goalscoring woes a Bole problem?
Bruno Fernandes and Diogo Dalot can also often score goals in the national team, and the number of international games a year can be compared to the number of goals scored in a season at Manchester United, which shouldn't be a problem for Maxima, right?
In addition to the number of players who scored, Harry Maguire and Maynou also appeared in England's starting line-up. After Marcus Rashford's retirement, this is United's only remaining "seed" in the national team, and fans are hoping that Luke · Shaw can join the ranks sooner rather than later. The moment when Gomez, a youngster who has left Manchester United, replaces Maynu, is also a rotation of Carrington's academy players.
Of course, Ugarte has attracted everyone's attention, in the World Cup South American qualifiers, Ugarte started and was replaced after 71 minutes, although there was no official game, the performance on the field was still remarkable. Uruguay is temporarily behind Argentina and in second place in the South American zone, with 6 of the 10 teams in the South American zone qualifying directly, and it will not be difficult for Ugart to participate in the next World Cup.
After the international break, United travelled to the weekend to take on promoted Mansouthampton, and Ten Hag, who has a poor away record, needed to perform better. After the restructuring of European competitions, next week's Champions League standalone match week, and next week's Europa League stand-alone match week. Manchester United will have a week in which they will play twice until next month's international break.
In addition to Southampton, United face Barnsley in the third tier of the Carabao Cup next week, as well as Crystal Palace in the Premier League, and next week, they have their first opponents in the Europa League, FC Twente, and Tottenham Hotspur in the Premier League. The following week is Porto in the Europa League and Aston Villa in the Premier League, followed by a second international break.
Four Premier League opponents, one each in the Eredivisie and the Portuguese Super League, and one in League One, these seven teams are the challenge for Ten Hag. The new management has made all kinds of preparations, and former Eredivisie managers such as Ruud van Nistelrooy and Haake have "stooped" to become assistant coaches, and it has to be said that they are the preparatory plan to succeed Ten Hag.
Many fans feel that if the manager can be changed decisively last season, Manchester United may not be out of the Champions League. Too many injuries once caused a lot of trouble for Ten Hag, and now Manchester United does not have such difficulties for the time being. Ten Hag once boasted that Manchester United, which has no injuries, has the ability to impact the championship, and seven opponents in the next three weeks will be a test, 1 win and 2 losses, 2 goals and 5 goals conceded, ranking 14, which should not be the performance that Manchester United should have.
