Eric ten Hag, manager of Manchester United believes that. An important factor that makes this season’s performance go into the cycle of three good days. And four bad days is the change of frontline defenders in almost every game. Different from the previous season. The team was ready to stand for a long time.

2023-24 United won 11, lost 11 from all competitions, unlike the 2022-23 season where they lost only 12 matches from 62 games played. The difference in the eyes of ‘ ETH ‘ is that the defenders alternate faces, sometimes injured , sometimes sick. there ทางเข้า UFABET

Ten Hag said :

“ Last year we had regular players. Not much has changed, especially the backline, ” Ten Hag said in a press conference before the home meeting with Bayern Munich ( Dec. 12 ) , ending Group A in the Champions League . 

“ We have stuck to a normal playing system for a long time and that has helped a lot. Because it has become a routine So we had to wait until that hour again. In the meantime, you have to cope. It’s like every team has the same problem, not just us. ” 

“ But I’m sure whenever we get our players back we’ll be back. Then we will play better. There were good chances to win the game and good chances to create consistency. ”

United ‘s main defenders last season included right back Diogo Dalot , central defenders Raphael Varane and Lisandro Martinez, and left back Luke Shaw.  

But in the current season, Shaw has been injured for several months and has only just returned for a few games , Martinez has a re-injured foot seen running outdoors alone and Varane hasn’t played in the real game since the Champions League opened . Home meets FC Copenhagen  

The number of the three playing together in 2022-23 is up to 126 matches , dropping to 25 matches this season.
