Jamie Carragher Look at Matthijs de Ligt Manchester United loses to Tottenham 3-0It is noteworthy that the instável exhibition of the central defense hardly “resumed” the team's defense during the era of Erik ten Hag.
The mounting pressure on Ten Hag intensified as Tottenham beat United in all sections at Old Trafford on Sunday afternoon.
Levu or North London Klopp barely had three minutes to open the goal or make a tackle through Brennan Johnson, as the Welshman made no mistakes in Queima Roba after a stunning 70-yard run by Micky van de Ven.
United had the opportunity to equalize, but were reduced to ten men after 42 minutes. Bruno Fernandes receives his marching order The situation went from bad to bad.
They allowed Kulusevski to increase the visitors' lead two minutes later and slot home Dominik Solanke for a third, putting Ange Postecoglou's home goals out of sight and condemning the Red Devils to their third defeat of the season.
The result is that United occupies 12th place in the table, and there were some requests to relieve Ten Hag of his duties, but The Dutch will have to remain in control of the team's two decisive matches with Porto and Aston Villa.
De Ligt had a difficult start to his career with United, due to a transfer deal worth 43 million pounds sterling from Bayern Munich at the end of the summer transfer window.
When analyzing United's defeat on Monday Night Football, Sky Sports pundit Carragher highlighted several moments where the Dutchman was blamed for poor positioning which ended up costing his team dearly.
Carragher, who assisted Johnson's opener, said: “Persepe is a player like De Ligt and a lot of defenders. I don't understand why they don't make space. It was too much.”
He added: “The striker's logo behind him has nothing to do with him. This is Martinez's work.” If De Ligt passes over the top, (Lisandro) Martinez appears. He looks over his shoulder… esqueça isso, esqueça! Come here!
“It was a great bullfight, it was amazing, but Van de Ven runs because he sees space.”
Johnson was able to score his second goal against United, but Tottenham blocked a counterattack.
According to Carragher, De Ligt showed more decisiveness in Timo Werner's attempt to steal the ball before Johnson shot it.
“That sums up Manchester United over the last two or three years. Constant pressure, constant pressure, joining the former Liverpool.
'Just look at De Ligt flying, he needs to fly in order to challenge, and it is very similar to the challenge that Vas has against Luis Diaz against Liverpool because he sees his starting position.'
Later, but not first of all, De Ligt was hit again on the ground and no one had to thank Andre Onana after he was criticized for denying Timo Werner a goal.
“I can play in Manchester United's midfield, pass through the middle of the pitch, run through four defences. I've said this in the last 18 months, and this is not silence,” Carragher explained.
“But when they win the ball, they say this player (Werner) will run towards goal in five seconds, and that shows the problems Manchester United have.
“The rest of the defense is bad, it has always been when we lose the ball. But where is De Ligt? The direct side is showing up here, but look where De Ligt is! You have something to overcome.
“In all first-time situations, there are great chances of a goal being scored by De Ligt, a player he hires for very little money will not be seen, he is completely out of position or time at all, so he ends up flying for challenges and then he will be left in a situation where you will receive Yellow or red cards.
De Ligt will hope he gets a chance to redeem himself when United return to the Europa League, not Porto, on the night of the fifth exhibition.
After United's horror show at the weekends Paul Scholes questions the club's decision to appoint a defender in the first placeOn the pretext that it is no great joy as far as Harry Maguire is concerned.
“When you recruit players, you expect them to be much better than the ones you see. I don't see a group of players that make a big difference,” Scholes told SuperSport.
“Let's say De Ligt replaces Maguire, but there's not much difference in that.
Asked whether De Ligt represented a whopping £50m fee in relation to the club's former captain, Maguire, Scholes replied: “No, certainly not.”
