Manchester United has indeed faced significant challenges in away matches under Erik ten Hag, highlighted by recent defeats to teams like West Ham, Tottenham, Arsenal, and Newcastle. Paul Scholes has voiced concerns about the tactical approach, particularly regarding the decision to deploy only one holding midfielder in away games against top opposition.
The surprising inclusion of 19-year-old defender Willy Kambwala in the starting lineup against West Ham has further intensified scrutiny of Ten Hag’s tactical decisions. This defeat has amplified the pressure on him, especially with Sir Jim Ratcliffe potentially acquiring a 25% stake in the club.
As the January transfer window approaches, Ten Hag’s ability to make strategic adjustments and address these away-game struggles will be crucial for United’s success moving forward. The club’s management will be watching closely to see if he can turn the team’s fortunes around.
