There was no one else to blame but him Erik Ten Hag has admitted Shocking Player who is to blame for Man United Terrible Draw yesterday evening again Bournemouth

There was a time in the first half when Dominik Szoboszlai broke forward with a lot of room between him and Liverpool. United won the FA Cup quarterfinal.

There was a still picture that quickly went popular on social media, but it wasn’t a big deal after the game because Liverpool lost in dramatic fashion. All season, there has been trouble with the room between the defense line and the middle. The other team takes advantage of pockets that are big enough for a bus to fit in.

As expected, Bournemouth used that repeated mistake to their advantage. Fernandes was so high up that Kobbie Mainoo felt like he was the only player in middle at times. Casemiro was just riding along.

The middle of the field doesn’t work at all, and when Bournemouth scored their second goal, Fernandes and Mainoo held a meeting as they walked back to start the game.

It was a friendly, normal conversation between two players after they gave up, but it felt like a metaphor for the problems. Both were looking for answers, and Ten Hag is eventually responsible for making sure that the team’s system isn’t so easy to break through.

The trouble is that it’s always the same when we look at United.

Casemiro is now a passenger.

Casemiro had a great first season in Manchester, but his second has been terrible, and he’s turned into the player most United fans were afraid they would sign.

Since he came back from a leg injury in January, it was his job to show that he could still help, but he’s been getting worse. He is now starting by default, and if there was a better option, he would have been dropped.

It’s funny that United paid a £10 million loan fee to get Sofyan Amrabat, but he hasn’t been used much since Casemiro’s play has gotten much worse. It says a lot about Amrabat that he still can’t get a sniff when Casemiro is playing so badly. Also, Mason Mount will be angry.

When Fernandes took the penalty, Casemiro turned his back and couldn’t see it. He just recently said that United keeps him up at night. There will be more of those nights.

The European task

United was under more heat after Newcastle beat Tottenham before the game. Because English teams lost in Europe earlier this week, finishing fifth in the Premier League probably won’t get them into the Champions League.

United had to beat Bournemouth, but all they could do was draw. Ten Hag has said again that United will keep trying until the end of the season to get into the Champions League. However, with only six league games left, time is running out. Aston Villa, who are in fourth place, are 10 points ahead, and it looks like they will be hard to catch up.

Antony’s progress ended

An injury kept Antony from playing at Bournemouth. It was a shame that his momentum was broken when it looked like he could finally turn a corner. Most fans would have liked him to start over Rashford after how well he played against Chelsea and how well he came on as a substitute against Liverpool last weekend.

It hasn’t looked like the Brazilian was worth £86 million, but he’s been showing signs of life lately. We will have to wait and see if he can change things in Manchester.

In 77 games, he’s scored 10 goals and set up 5 others, which is not good enough. If United makes it to the FA Cup final, they only have eight games left in all competitions. Antony needs to make the most of these games to finish the season on a high note.

The kids are fine.

Jack Kingdon practiced with the first team on Friday, so he couldn’t be in the matchday group. However, potential forward Ethan Wheatley was able to go.

Wheatley has scored eight goals and set up two others in just seven league games for the Under-18s this season. Last weekend, he scored a hat-trick against rivals Liverpool.

Habeeb Ogunneye has now made four Premier League sides, and Harry Amass was in the senior team that played at Old Trafford last Sunday. Those young players probably won’t play off the bench when they do, but being around the first team is very helpful for their development.

Soon, the 250th player from the school will make their senior appearance, which is a big deal. Ten Hag should be praised for his efforts to help young players. But even though Louis van Gaal gave 14 young players their first starts, it wasn’t enough to keep his job.
