Erik ten Hag, Manchester United's manager, has praised Scott McTominay and Harry Maguire for their commitment and dedication to the team, while expressing confidence in Marcus Rashford's abilities, despite his current form. He also addressed Jadon Sancho's exclusion from the squad and confirmed ongoing contract discussions for several players. However, the team's inconsistency, highlighted by a humiliating 3-0 home loss to Bournemouth, has increased pressure on Ten Hag. This defeat, marking their 11th match loss of the season and Bournemouth's first win at Old Trafford, is considered one of the worst results in the post-Ferguson era, with a total of 35 home losses since Ferguson's retirement. Ten Hag, expressing annoyance and disappointment, admitted that the squad is not good enough to be consistent.

Manchester United losing their 11th match of the season (!). Outclassed, outfought, outhought and outcoached on a near weekly basis. Bayern and Liverpool to come this week. Still, at least fans can take solace in their squad fighting for their manager and not downing tools. Ahem.
