Paul Scholes fumes at Man Utd’s weakness that Erik ten Hag has failed to fix

Manchester United has been accused of underperforming in important games away from home ever since Erik ten Hag took over as manager in the summer of 2022.
With West Ham humiliatingly defeating Manchester United on Saturday, Paul Scholes accused Erik ten Hag of being “naive” away from home.
Under the Dutchman, United has frequently had trouble traveling and competing against teams that are regarded as being stronger. Even though they played to a creditable 0-0 draw at Anfield on Sunday, they were thrashed 7-0 at the same venue the previous season, and their trips to Tottenham, Arsenal, and Newcastle resulted in zero points this season.
Furthermore, the problems aren’t limited to the Premier League. The Red Devils’ miserable early exit from the Champions League was largely caused by the fact that they only managed one point from their three away games during the season.
Working for TNT Sports, Scholes pointed the finger at the manager and explained where he thought the issues were: “They struggled last year in the big games and I also felt that it was naive going to good away grounds and playing with one holding midfielder and the rest being attacking,” he said, prior to kickoff at the London Stadium.
“Ten Hag wants to play that way, but you can’t afford to play that when you play big teams in England.” He’s had a lot of trouble finding the right balance, and today’s matchup with West Ham is crucial because you can be sure they’ll be well-prepared.”
Ten Hag unexpectedly started 19-year-old defender Wally Kambwala in his starting lineup with Raphael Varane out due to illness and Harry Maguire suspended. Scholes was initially worried about the visitors’ chances, saying, “They (West Ham) are difficult to play against but they also have the brilliant forward players that can cause you trouble.”

The iconic Manchester United player’s concerns were well-founded. Jarrod Bowen and Mohammed Kudus both scored goals in the second half to defeat United 2-0; the Red Devils are now eighth in the standings.
Ten Hag is under even more pressure as a result of the outcome, and he cannot afford another loss when his team hosts Aston Villa on Boxing Day. Even though United lost their most recent game in front of their home crowd, 3-0, to Bournemouth, that matchup will at least take place at Old Trafford.
Their dismal performance coincides with Sir Jim Ratcliffe’s impending announcement that he will buy a twenty-five percent share in the team. Furthermore, Ten Hag’s position will probably be the first thing on his agenda before the crucial January transfer window.

Breaking News: Marcus Rashford responds immediately after Ruben Amorim lets rip at Man Utd outcast

Marcus Rashford was once more excluded from Manchester United’s matchday roster on Sunday.
Marcus Rashford shared a five-word Instagram story immediately after enduring another public rebuke from Manchester United manager Ruben Amorim.
Rashford, who has not participated for his childhood club since December 12, was absent from the 1-0 victory against Fulham on Sunday evening. Amorim stated post-match that he would prefer to include 63-year-old goalkeeping coach Jorge Vital on the replacements’ bench rather than a player who does not exert maximum effort in training.
“In training and in life, it is the daily routine and every detail,” elucidated the Portuguese. “If circumstances remain unchanged, I will not alter.” I would reserve Vital on the bench prior to a player who does not exert maximal effort.
Amorim had first been reticent regarding his rationale for sidelining Rashford during the initial weeks of his employment. However, the management is progressively more candid on the problem, and the remarks made on Sunday night were the most incriminating to date.
Numerous individuals anticipated Rashford’s response with great eagerness. Shortly after the game, he chose to prioritise conveying a positive message to his teammates rather than exacerbating his difficult relationship with Amorim. “Congratulations on the victory, gentlemen,” he wrote.
United registered only one effort on target at Craven Cottage yet secured maximum points following Lisandro Martinez’s 78th-minute long-range strike, which deflected off Sasa Lukic.
That constitutes four victories in five matches across all competitions, although Amorim’s team has been less than convincing. Numerous observers remain vigilant regarding United’s transfer activities this month, as the club aims to acquire a left wing-back and secure new placements for individuals considered excess to needs.
Rashford is on the departure list, yet his options are diminishing as the deadline approaches. His representatives engaged in discussions with AC Milan; however, their pursuit of Kyle Walker has effectively disqualified them from consideration due to regulations concerning non-EU players.
Borussia Dortmund has been significantly associated with a loan agreement; however, Rashford’s exorbitant salary has hindered any recent advancements, and the Bundesliga club now appears poised to proceed without him.
Clubs in the Saudi Pro League are reportedly prepared to offer substantial sums for Rashford; however, the 27-year-old prefers to rejuvenate his career nearer to home. Barcelona remains a contender, and it is understood that Rashford would accept a salary reduction to join the La Liga powerhouse. The Manchester-born forward has netted 138 goals in 426 appearances over ten seasons at Old Trafford.

“We have accepted the offer since he doesn’t want to stay anymore…But this is not how football should be run, Man United is a threat to our beautiful game and FIFA have to intervene now”: Club manager confirms Man United bid for their ‘best player’ has been accepted and the player has already agreed to join the Reds

We’ve accepted the offer because he’s no longer interested in staying.However, Man United poses a threat to our beautiful game, and FIFA must step in right away. This is not how football should be handled. Man United’s offer for their “best player” has been accepted, the club boss says, and the player has already committed to joining the Reds.
Manchester United’s defence was powerful, but they also lacked a good defensive midfielder, which is why they gave up 58 goals in the Premier League the previous season.
The Red Devils are looking to replace the Brazilian since Casemiro is long past his peak and had his worst season to date last season.
If media claims are to be believed, Man Utd is getting close to signing Real Sociedad’s Martin Zubimendi as a player.
TDF claims that at first glance, Arsenal appeared to be in the greatest position to entice the Spanish international away from the La Liga team.
But with Man Utd now leading and the Old Trafford team putting in a strong push, Sociedad is finding it challenging to hang on to Zubimendi.
According to the media source, the 20-time English champions are prepared to trigger the 60 million euro release clause in order to entice the 25-year-old regista.
A five-year contract has also been offered by Manchester United, meaning Zubimendi is now “one step away” from joining the Red Devils this summer.
It is said that the events over the following few days will be significant in this transfer drama. In addition to Zubimendi, Manuel Ugarte, a playmaker from Uruguay, has also been connected to Manchester United.
However, Sofyan Amrabat, who played on loan the previous season, could also be brought back.
Who should United buy in the current transfer window to bolster the starting holding midfield position at Old Trafford, in your opinion?

(4-4-2) formation changed due to the arrival of new signing”, Potential Arsenal XI to face Aston Villa – As Mikel Arteta seeks revenge tomorrow

This weekend, Arsenal will play an early test of their Premier League title prospects when they travel to Aston Villa.
In the opening match of the new season, the Gunners defeated Wolves 2-0, with goals from Kai Havertz and Bukayo Saka for the home team.
Jurrien Timber is back in action for Arsenal ahead of their trip to Villa Park on opening weekend, so they have a comparatively clean sheet of health.
The Dutch defender was substituted in the second half of Arsenal’s match against Wolves, after missing the team’s final two preseason games.
Takehiro Tomiyasu’s knee injury kept him out of Arsenal’s preseason tour of the United States, and it will take him several weeks to return. Additionally sidelined due to a hamstring injury sustained during Euro 2024 is Kieran Tierney.
Despite struggling with a hip issue, Fabio Vieira could be able to play this weekend.
Leandro Trossard could replace Gabriel Martinelli on the left, but Mikel Arteta may stick with the same starting lineup against Unai Emery’s team.
Summertime acquisition After staying on the bench last Saturday, Riccardo Calafiori is healthy and available to play if the Gunners manager decides to make changes.
Along with Declan Rice, Martin Odegaard, David Raya, and Gabriel Magalhães, he regularly plays center-half with William Saliba. This week, Arsenal’s five stars were chosen in the PFA Team of the Season.
