In the fourth round of the Premier League, Manchester United lost 0-3 to Manchester City away. After this round, the Red Devils only scored 4 points, and suffered the worst start since the 92-93 season. Manchester United midfielder Maynu did not start this game, he only came on as a substitute in the 62nd minute. Red Devils' former player Hargreaves was puzzled by Amorin's employment.

He said: "I don't know where to start, there are too many questions. I don't know why Menu didn't make the starter. He just came on as a substitute for half an hour, but during this time he might be the best player in Manchester United. So first, Menu has to get the chance.

"Sheshko is not ready yet, and although he scored a lot of goals in Germany, it seems that he is not well prepared today. Look at Haaland, his running and pressing are very active. Today, Sheshko is not active enough, I know he has not received much support, but he must be more active.

"Mbermo played very well, and Cunnia was also very good. B Fe can no longer play No. 6 in the midfield, he should play No. 10. The team's current formation has no effect and needs to be adjusted. Maybe five changes can be made, let Mbermo play center, Cunnia and B Fe play No. 10 in doubles, and Menu must play, which is absolutely true. Only then can the team have a chance, otherwise I am not optimistic at all.

"Manchester United's possession rate in this game is higher than that of Manchester City, but they don't seem to be the stronger side. Does Manchester United seem to have a chance to score? Not at all. ”
