Fans will question club progression
Man Utd fans will no doubt have a lot to say about this performance today and the same old gripes will be raised.
The ownership of the club often comes under scrutiny when things are not going well.
However, since his time at the club, Erik ten Hag has spent in excess of £350m on transfers and definitely been backed by the current owners.
The Dutch manager needs to make this work, ensuring that his vision is applied on the pitch, by the players currently at his disposal.
Although it is early days in the season, they will be fed up of seeing the same old problems from their team.
