[스포츠조선 김가을 기자]It was a month filled with nothing but disgrace.
Manchester United, led by coach Eric ten Haag, lost 1-2 in the 2023-2024 English Premier League (EPL) away game against Nottingham on the last day of 2023. Manchester United recorded 5 losses in December alone. Following Newcastle (0 to 1) – Bournemouth (0 to 3) – Bayern Munich (0 to 1) – West Ham (0 to 2), they also bowed to Nottingham. British media outlet The Sun reported, ‘Manchester United recorded five losses in December for the first time in 90 years since 1933. Manchester United have finished a disappointing month. It was reported that in 1933, ballpoint pens, instant coffee, and credit cards had not even been invented.
Another media outlet, Manchester Evening News, said, ‘Manager Ten Haag must take responsibility for the tactical changes that cost Manchester United. At the start of the second half, he replaced Kobe Mainu with Scott McTominay. This decision seemed strange. What little control United had in the first half was gone. It was a poor change. He pointed out that even creativity was lacking.
The media said, ‘The biggest problem that Manager Ten Haag and Manchester United have is their poor performance in away games. Manchester United has lost 7 away games this season. He added, “Rasmus Høirun, who left due to injury, was also greatly felt.”
Manchester United finished the first half of the 2023-2024 season worst. In the league, they only recorded 10 wins, 1 draw, and 9 losses (31 points). The European Champions League (UCL) ended in last place in Group A. They were also eliminated early from the Carabao Cup. Manchester United will play Wigan in the round of 64 of the English Football Association (FA) Cup on the 9th. Reporter Kim Ga-eul epi17@sportschosun.com
