Ten Hag signing has been “poor” and Man United “dreadful” in one key area against Leeds, says journalist

Posted by

Manchester United are not having the best of games against Leeds United at Elland Road this afternoon, and some issues have been picked up by Manchester Evening News journalist Samuel Luckhurst.

The Red Devils only recently signed Wout Weghorst to give them another option up front, but he’s been described as “poor” by Luckhurst, which isn’t a great reflection on manager Erik ten Hag, who brought him to Old Trafford this January.

Fabrizio Romano wrote in his exclusive CaughtOffside column about Ten Hag appreciating Weghorst, but he doesn’t look to be making the desired impact at the moment, while Luckhurst also believes the players’ overall game management has been “dreadful”…

This doesn’t sound great for Man Utd against a side struggling at the wrong end of the Premier League table, but perhaps Ten Hag can get more out of them in the second half.

United have generally shown a lot of improvement under the Dutch tactician, but this display is certainly far from good enough if they want to stay in the title race.

  1. Great result. Garnacho is sensational. Very happy with Ten Hag. But we are not in title race but look out next season. Weghorst is OK and I have been happy with him. Much better than Martial

  2. Yes we all know they struggled vs Leeds and why you ask.. it is simply because they are missing three midfielders who if fit or not banned would have been playing today, so now go and look at the result.. Any team that can play crap[ that`s me not you] and win 0-2 are signs of a good team…

  3. This anti Ten Hag retoric has to stop. Ten Hag like so many United managers under the Glasers has worked wonders with one arm tied behind his back. He had to take Weghorst because bad negotiations during the summer left United with no money in the pot to speak of. He needed a striker and it was Wout or nothing. It’s about time Mr Lockhurst started putting the blame where it really belongs, on the incompetent board and their greedy owners

  4. Weighorst not fit to play premier ship football renaldo was reguarded as been to slow but he would get you a goal out of nothing
