Fernandes' injury time winner may have kept Ten Hag safe for another week but this was another uninspiring display from United
Fernandes’ injury time winner may have kept Ten Hag safe for another week but this was another uninspiring display from Unitedend. When expectations are almost nil and nobody is under any pretences about how desperate things have become, why does even the most basic of requests have to fall on deaf ears?
Worse still was to come for the luckless Maguire, whose otherwise resolute display alongside Aaron Wan-Bissaka should not be forgotten. The chaser, Scott McTominay’s goal which might briefly have shifted the mood, was correctly ruled out, Maguire adjudged to be interfering with play. Ten Hag cannot only blame United’s failing structures. There is no longer any premise that he is the man to “fix” them and the ceiling feels lower than ever. Andre Onana twice kept out Harry Wilson to spare his side’s blushes – avoiding humiliation seems to be United’s new version of shooting for the stars.
It is the trickery and glitz of players who in a flash have realised they are playing for Manchester United but who for the most part are not fit to wear the shirt. It is not entirely happy families at Craven Cottage either, and it certainly won’t be in the crowd if the club does not u-turn on its. Some seats for this match cost a staggering £160 and ahead of kick-off, those who grew up from Putney to Parsons Green unleashed a mixture of fury and sadness at effectively being ousted from watching a team many of them supported at itsminute – to represent an 18 per cent increase – bearing the Fulhamishly polite entreaty: “Please don’t price us out”.
