Reactions grew as four Man Utd players rejects Bruno Fernandes and Casemiro’s dressing room request

BAYERN MUNICH 4-3 MAN UTD:
Erik ten Hag’s side were beaten in Bavaria as two goals in four first-half minutes proved crucial at the Allianz Arena.

Manchester United’s experienced leaders were looking forward to a reaction and they got one about three minutes into the match.

Then Alphonso Davies – considered an “undefendable” player by Erik ten Hag before the match – superbly challenged Facundo Pellistri at the far post as the Uruguayan felt he had the right to give Bayern freedom for guest. a shocking song. That, apart from a brief flurry early in the second half when they scored, then almost conceded and then a harsh penalty, was pretty much it for United against their heroic efforts. have a cold.

Their players arrived for the match after a harrowing experience at home to Brighton last Saturday, after which a squad-wide inquiry took place in the dressing room at Old Trafford with Bruno Fernandes and Casemiro on the front line.

Both players spoke of the need to rebuild unity around United and become difficult to beat even when the football is not the best. Basically for better defense. But that disappeared after four minutes in Munich.

First, the weakness of goalkeeper André Onana allowed Leroy Sané to open the score. We’ve all seen it but here’s Rio Ferdinand to recap.

“It’s a nightmare scenario for Onana,” the expert said on TNT Sports. “He’s as confident as you could want with his feet. We sat there and made some of his passes, but as a goalkeeper you get paid to go in there and make saves.

“As for Sane, it’s also a great skill to set it up, but he doesn’t hit it with a specific target – it’s not wide, not in the corners and Onana and her reaction afterwards he He should save it. It’s meat and drink for him and he should deal with it and look for the next pass – that’s a big mistake he needs to fix.”

Then came the second goal, as Jamal Musiala led United in a joyful dance before Serge Gnabry headed home. It depends on Paul Scholes in this match. “We mentioned this boy (Musiala) before the match,” he said. “He has great talent, great speed, but I’m not sure what (Lisandro) Martinez can do as well.

“(Diogo) Dalot is beaten, but Martinez is falling back, he and (Sergio) Reguilon have a player between them and Reguilon should tackle this person and Martinez should go to (Serge) Gnabry, the scorer, But in the end he moved on.” on the contrary, he blocked the guard’s view and could do nothing.”

Onana, Dalot, Martinez and Reguilon. The rest all look rather foolish and offer no solidarity at a time when United need it. The performances of many other players in the team were flawless, but at crucial moments they were let down by others and the lack of solidarity cost them dearly.
