During the last Premier League weekend, Manchester United was relatively spared with only one player in the worst XI, a situation that raises questions as rumors of Erik Ten Hag’s dismissal circulate. This article looks at the performances of the players, which were assessed using WhoScored ratings.
Bruno Fernandes: The sole representative of Manchester United
The only player from Manchester United featured in the best worst XI of the weekend is Bruno Fernandes, who received a rating of 5.12. His performance was marked by a red card received for a dangerous tackle on James Maddison, which obviously had an impact on the match against Tottenham.
The team’s defeat against the Spurs was particularly worrying, with some observers suggesting it could be one of the worst performances since Ten Hag took charge of the club. It is surprising to note that Fernandes is the only representative of Manchester United in this selection, while other teams, such as Wolverhampton, Leicester, Nottingham Forest, and Brighton, had more of their players mentioned.
The performances of the competitors
Manchester United’s opposing teams saw several of their players struggling. For example, Wolverhampton defender Nelson Semedo was criticized for his mistakes, just like several other players who contributed to bitter defeats for their respective teams. Brighton and Leicester also saw disappointing performances from their key players, directly impacting the outcome of their matches.
These results highlight the fact that Manchester United, despite its difficulties, was not as badly off as other teams during this Premier League weekend. Ten Hag’s situation remains concerning, but with a relatively low number of players in the worst XI rankings, the club might consider a slight improvement if individual performances enhance in the future.
