Disastrous Defeat at Nottingham Forest
Manchester United’s recent defeat to Nottingham Forest has left the club’s legends appalled, with the team’s performance being described as “awful” after failing to build on their previous comeback against Aston Villa. The 2-1 loss away from home has seen the Red Devils plunge further into a season of dismal records.
Historic Lows for United
United’s current form is alarmingly poor, with the club having never had fewer points at this stage of a season, sitting at just 31 points from 20 games. Their scoring record has also hit a low, with only 22 goals to their name and 27 conceded. The defeat at Forest marks the first time since 1933 that United have lost five times in December, and the current season’s nine defeats echo the struggles of the 1989/90 campaign.
Legends Ferdinand and Neville Express Disgust
Rio Ferdinand and Gary Neville have not held back in their criticism of their former team’s recent showing. Ferdinand expressed frustration at the lack of urgency until the final moments of the game, while Neville was more forthright, branding the team as “inconsistent and awful” and lamenting their inferiority against teams lower down the league.
Critique of Ten Hag‘s Leadership
Neville also questioned the management of Erik ten Hag, suggesting that the inconsistency and poor performances are not entirely disconnected from his leadership. Despite acknowledging Ten Hag’s ability to bring in new talent, Neville hinted at a mix of good and poor player choices contributing to the team’s erratic season.
