Erik ten Hag Disappointed with £104m Trio’s Performance against Newport, Two Players at Risk of Being Dropped
Newport County fell short in their FA Cup match against Manchester United, with the Red Devils ultimately asserting their dominance. Despite fielding a strong team, Manchester United’s performance at Rodney Parade was less than convincing.
Manager Erik ten Hag’s decision-making in the final third was criticized, particularly when United held a two-goal lead and had several opportunities to secure the win. Rasmus Hojlund expressed frustration with a 19-year-old player, while Bruno Fernandes called out selfish decisions in the final third after the match.
It was acknowledged that Garnacho has been a regular starter this season but still has much to learn. Meanwhile, expectations are high for an Argentine player, unlike Raphael Varane and Casemiro, who are expected to leave United as part of a sporting shake-up by INEOS. Varane’s performance did not impress, and his position is reportedly under threat from Harry Maguire.
Overall, Manchester United’s victory over Newport County was marred by underwhelming performances from some of their key players, prompting speculation about potential changes to the team.
