Expected lineup Man Utd vs Burnley
The ten Hag queue is marred by a lack of options
After using a midfielder in the 3-1 defeat to Brighton at Old Trafford last weekend, the United boss knows he must use full-backs to counter the threat of Leroy Sane, Serge Gnabry and Alphonso Davies from Bayern. Due to this need and the absence of Jadon Sancho and Antony, Facundo Pellestri was the only change to the starting line-up from the match against the Seagulls, as he replaced Scott McTominay in a bid to provide width alongside. Positioned on the right wing, the Uruguayan has had an unconvincing first start to the season, after making just nine appearances in all competitions in 23/22 for his club.
Andre Onana had a night to forget when scoring for the Red Devils, finishing behind Diogo Dalot, Victor Lindelof, Lisandro Martinez and Sergio Reguilon, who exceeded expectations and received plenty of praise despite the night. difficult for the Red Devils. Casemiro started ahead of them, with Eriksen and Fernandes in central midfield.
Marcus Rashford had an uncharacteristically poor game down the left on Wednesday night and struggled to connect with Rasmus Hojlund, who scored his first goal of the season against the Bundesliga champions.
Tactical confusion peaked amid poor form
United fans could be forgiven for thinking they were unlucky to lose to Bayern Munich. After a promising start, in which the Red Devils certainly created the best chances, Leroy Sané’s shot on goal fell to Onana. It must be admitted that the Cameroonian immediately took responsibility for the entire defeat and even asked to speak in the post-match interview.
Despite the goalkeeper’s admirable leadership abilities, Ten Hag must find a solution to fix a lax defense, which has now conceded 14 goals in six matches this season. Despite some positive performances in defeats to Tottenham Hotspur, Arsenal, Brighton and now Bayern Munich, the team clearly lacks tactical cohesion.
United are currently 13th with six points in the Premier League, although fans will be hoping they can improve ahead of a lighter fixture list. Their next five matches see them face Burnley, Palace, Brentford and Sheffield United before the Manchester derby at Old Trafford at the end of October.
