Back to their Worst - Manchester United's Misery Continues

All the fans who had tickets from the ticket marketplace to the Nottingham Forest game were disheartened to see the state their team had fallen to.
A 2-1 defeat, which did not have proper momentum for the Red Devils, allowed the Forest players to run circles around the United defense.
A lackluster defense allowed Nicolás Domínguez to capitalize on a significant gap in the United's defense, giving Forest the lead.
Shortly after, Rashford brought in the equalizer, but that wasn't enough to stop Morgan Gibbs-White, who secured the winning goal to make the game 2-1.
The recent match was a striking difference from United's Boxing Day game against Aston Villa. It was an impressive comeback win for the club with a Garnacho brace along with a match-winner from Rasmus Højlund to win the game 3-2. All those at the game with ticket marketplace tickets felt that, finally, their club was getting it together.
But it was all undone a few days later.
The loss to Forest marked their ninth loss in 20 league games, the highest since 1989-90, emphasizing the magnitude of their struggles.
After the game, United legend and pundit Gary Neville expressed his disappointment, labeling his team as "inconsistent and awful." He was critical of the team's performance under manager Erik ten Hag and said the side falls far from expectations.
United has dropped places and is sitting in seventh place, nine points below a Champions League spot. Their Champions League run was another disaster, finishing last in the table with shock defeats to Galatasaray and FC Copenhagen.
The sides are also out of the League Cup, and the FA Cup is the only remaining chance for silverware for the Red Devils this season.
United spent £82m on getting the services from Antony from Ajax, which has been their worst possible signing. With just one goal in the entire year, Antony has nothing to show for the extremely high price tag United paid him.
Antony has zero goals and zero assists to show in 21 appearances and more than 900 minutes in the Premier League this season. Even in the Forest game, he brought out another feeble performance after coming on in the second half.
Similarly, Andre Onana has had a disastrous season in the middle of the posts. United this season have conceded more goals than they've scored all season and is the only team in the top 10 with a negative goal difference.
Onana's mistakes have cost the team, especially during crunch occasions. United fans who are regulars in the ticket marketplace are wondering why they let go of David De Gea.
Neville stressed that Ten Hag faces mounting pressure due to the team's underwhelming performance. With changes expected in critical administrative roles at the club, there will be more checks and scrutinization of the performances against the coaching staff with the team's diminishing prospects in European competitions and their struggles to make it to a top-four finish.
"There's no doubt about that. They (new management) will appoint the three roles - Chief Executive Officier, Sporting Director, and Head of Recruitment," he added.
"They all come in, and the remaining individuals will leave. The coach will be the biggest question that will be asked. At the end of the day, it is a football club, and you don't sack a coach easily."
"They're out of Europe, and they're out of the Carabao Cup. They must get their players fit and chase after Champions League football."
"But at the moment, they look well off it, and six or seven teams are in far better shape than them. It seems a million miles away."
Despite acknowledging that United is struggling to find the right momentum, manager Erik Ten Hag is confident that he can take the team to better results and convince the new ownership that he is the right candidate.
Erik ten Hag openly acknowledged Manchester United's underperformance after their recent defeat, the team's 9th in the Premier League.
Despite the recent setbacks, Ten Hag expressed confidence that he can deliver results with a complete squad.
He went on to emphasize that the team's performance against top teams is clear proof of the potential the team comprises.
The manager went on to stress consistency, stressing that the current side has failed to keep up with the tide compared to the performance in the previous year.
He adds that this phase can be a development phase, recognizing that he needs to lead this progression.
When questioned about his optimism for improvement, Ten Hag affirmed his belief in the team's potential, especially when injured players return, expecting a boost in the team's strength.
He lamented about not having Rasmus Højlund due to illness and that his frequent changes in the starting line have affected the team's rhythm.
For the fans with tickets from the ticket marketplace, however, this has been a tiresome experience. While Ten Hag has been vocal that the team has to perform better, the team's overall chemistry and dedication have been lacking.
The manager has had several rifts within the team, with disagreements with Jaden Sancho keeping him away from action. This initially ended up causing a divide in the dressing room and needs to be helping the overall performance.
Overall, Ten Hag appears to be committed to addressing these shortcomings, but the real question is whether the club management can wait until these shortcomings are fixed.
With a team such as Manchester United, failing to keep up with expectations ends up with an exit of a manager. All Ten Hag's predecessors had to leave, with the team failing to meet expectations.
If there is no improvement in January, that would be the call for Erik Ten Hag, and United will look for new replacements.
