The worst start to the season in 35 years. United should be ashamed, criticized the legend of Manchester – Foreign leagues – Football

Seven games, eight points. Manchester United cannot remember such a poor start to the season for a long time. One of the most famous clubs in the world started worse last time 35 years ago.

Dimitar Berbatov wore the shirt of Manchester United between 2008 and 2012.

The venomous critical words are getting louder day by day. Former Bulgarian striker and United gunner Dimitar Berbatov also enjoyed his former club on the Sky Sport broadcast.

It’s still not the same. Not by chance. In the Premier League table, United is in 14th place, or seventh from the bottom. And in the European League so far, he has scored only two points for two draws.

The team from Manchester did not improve its reputation even at the weekend, when it played a goalless draw at the stadium of Aston Villa. “That the 36-year-old stopper Evans was the man of the match? Everyone on the field should be ashamed,” emphasized Berbatov.

“Obviously the criticism will increase because United need to win to progress. The current 14th place is unbelievable,” the Bulgarian, who was at Old Trafford between 2008 and 2012, shook his head.

The Dutch coach of the team, Erik ten Hag, has been under a lot of pressure for several months now, as he has been struggling since the end of last season.

Eighth place from the 2023/24 season was the worst for the Red Devils since the Premier League was founded in 1992. And now there is their worst start to a season since the autumn of 1989.

This year, at the beginning of the era of the legendary coach Alex Ferguson, Man Utd had seven points after the first seven rounds and finally finished thirteenth.

“They can get out of the crisis only by starting to score points,” Berbatov noted. “Well, because of the way they are playing at the moment, it will be very difficult,” he added.

According to several British media, an important meeting of the closest management of the Old Trafford club should take place on Tuesday. After her, it should be clearer in the answer to the question whether coach Ten Hag will continue to sit on the Manchester United bench.
