Too many mistakes in Man Utd’s playing style led to the disastrous 0-3 defeat of the Old Trafford team against Liverpool in round 3 of the 2024-25 Premier League.

The “Theatre of Dreams” once again gave Man Utd a nightmare when coach Erik Ten Hag’s team was completely terrible against Liverpool throughout the 90 minutes at Old Trafford.

The home team was unstable from the coaching bench to the performance on the field, they did not even have a single bright spot.

Ten Hag’s lineup was unreasonable, his tactics were bland and his personnel adjustments did not leave an impression.

On the field, Man Utd players made mistakes one after another, all 3 goals conceded by the home team came from individual mistakes, wrong passes or losing the ball in their own half.

Hosting Liverpool at home, coach Ten Hag made some personnel adjustments compared to the loss to Brighton last week. Surprisingly, the Dutch strategist replaced Amad Diallo with Alejandro Garnarcho.

In the match against Brighton, Amad played well, he was the one who scored for Man Utd, however, the Ivorian player lost his starting position, while on the left wing, Marcus Rashford is still trusted despite being lackluster since the beginning of the season.

Mason Mount’s injury means Joshua Zirkzee gets a start. The young Dutchman is promoted to centre-forward, supported by captain Bruno Fernandes. In defence, Matthijs de Ligt takes Harry Maguire’s place.

Liverpool manager Arne Slot sticks with the same line-up that won 2-0 against Brentford last week.

After the opening whistle, Liverpool took the initiative to attack, Man Utd chose to play defensive counter-attack.
