Former Tottenham Hotspur captain-coach Jamie Redknapp has called on Manchester United to cut ways with a player in an interview with Sky Sports.
Manchester United, according to Jamie Redknapp, need to bolster their a/s/s/a/u/l/t right now with a more competent center striker than Wout Weghorst. Simultaneously, the former Tottenham Hotspur captain slammed Bruno Fernandes’ performance against Newcastle last night:
“Performances like that throughout the season, and what we’ve seen today demonstrates that Manchester United are short on players; they need more players.”
“I don’t want to bring up the number nine, but Weghorst is a nightmare. He’s not up to the task. If Manchester United want to contend for trophies, they must recruit a quality striker. For a long time, they’ve needed someone to stand by Rashford’s side.”
“You have to remember that they didn’t have Casemiro and Christian Eriksen in midfield today.”
“Right now, you’re not f/r/i/g/h/t/e/n/e/d to confront Sabitzer or McTominay. You also know that when things are going well, Bruno Fernandes is great. When the day is awful, he raises his hands in the air. This is insufficient and does not serve as a decent role model.”
Ten Hag admits Man Utd is ‘paralyzed wing’
Talking to MUTV after the defeat to Newcastle United, coach Erik Ten Hag expressed dissatisfaction with the players on the front lines of the Red Devils.
Closing the international series, Manchester United had a d/i/s/a/s/t/r/o/u/s start with a 0-2 defeat on the away trip to Newcastle United. It is worth mentioning, this was a completely deserved defeat for the Reds when their defense was misplaced and the attacking players had a lackluster performance.
Coach Erik Ten Hag must also admit that his students lacked creativity in this match: “I think our attack is not good enough. I don’t want to focus on one person, the problem is the overall performance of the team. We weren’t able to break through the opponent’s defense.”
“In the first half, we had a trap on the right flank with Antony and Diogo [Dalot] but on the left, we had almost nothing. This is also the summary of this game.”
“Today we didn’t create many chances and when we did, we weren’t determined enough to score. It’s true. The best chance is probably a situation where Anthony Martial can equalize with a shot. We went astray. We didn’t create enough chances to score.”
Man Utd players quarrel after losing to Newcastle
Following the final whistle, the camera spotted Antony and Diogo Dalot conversing on the field. Dalot was having a horrible day until Allan Saint-Maximin kept passing him. However, Antony struggled and was replaced early while the game was still not done.
Several Man Utd players were unhappy with the result and went into the tunnel. Captain Bruno Fernandes had to nudge his colleagues back onto the field to thank the supporters who had trekked to St James’ Park.
“The term to express how we feel right now is disappointed. We expect Newcastle to play tight, so we aim to get some space. Man United, on the other hand, is impatient “Dalot said after his loss.
“We should have settled down in the last 30 minutes of the game to find possibilities. We did not demonstrate a will to win “The Portuguese defender added.
Newcastle moved up to third position after a solid 2-0 win at home. Both teams have 50 points, but “The Magpies” is ahead due to a greater disparity (+22 vs +4).
