Manchester United failed to win at Old Trafford against Newcastle.

The game was set up to be won, but as the minutes progressed the shortcomings of this team in creating clear chances began to show, without doubt the midfield did not make good connections, they failed to open up the spaces necessary for the dynamics of the game, the defensive issue did not fail them because Raphael Varane returned to the starting line-up.

It was very noticeable that the team was disengaged from their individual responsibilities, there was a lack of creativity in the attacking sector, there was no one to assist the strikers, it was a very slow game in certain periods of the game, at the beginning it looked like it would be a party for de Gea's 500 games or celebrating Cristiano for his 700 goals at club level. It was a special afternoon at Old Trafford.

The team coached by Erik ten Hag did not find a way to get together in the last part of the game, even Erik ten Hag's decision, fans questioned many things about his team's performance, many failures in general, and there was no player who raised his hand, there are supposed to be creative players who look to lead when the situation of the game is that way.

The strategy must change if they are to get a positive result from the following matches which will be very difficult, the matches against championship contenders, these opponents will demand the best possible version of Erik ten Hag's team, we will have to innovate a strategy to play at home against Tottenham and visit Chelsea at Stamford Bridge on Saturday, both teams are above Man Utd in the standings.
