After a long summer of rebuilding the club on and off the pitch, Manchester United were expected to have welcomed their new dawn with a positive start under an ownership with fresh ideas. But after just two games of the 2024/25 Premier League season, old troubles are making an unsavoury return, and it could finally be time for some wasted arrivals to seek a move elsewhere if they are to revive their careers.
A below-par performance against Fulham was spared by a late Joshua Zirkzee goal from the bench. However, an in-form Brighton side were able to condemn the Red Devils to a worrisome defeat on the Saturday lunchtime kick-off. Goals from Danny Welbeck and Joao Pedro highlighted just how far Erik Ten Hag still has to go to keep his precarious employment from dissolving completely.
However, it is not just the management situation that could come crumbling down over the next couple of weeks, with both Antony and Jadon Sancho running out of steam in their struggle to win the confidence of the manager. Fractious relationships were on show again over the weekend as the former was an unused substitute and the latter not even making the matchday squad.
