Manchester United suffered a heavy defeat against Manchester City, with their midfield problems once again coming to the forefront. Despite a relatively good start, United were quickly overwhelmed by their rivals, and their lack of bite in midfield was evident throughout the game. This has been a recurring issue for manager Erik ten Hag, with his main enforcer Casemiro struggling to perform. The defeat against City further highlights the need for United to address their midfield concerns.
Manchester United were well beaten by Manchester City on Sunday and the biggest concern for Erik ten Hag will be that long-term problems continued to surface.
Pep Guardiola's side were imperious at Old Trafford but life was made easy for them, with United once again looking leggy. Sofyan Amrabat was hooked at half-time after a torrid 45 minutes, with Scott McTominay - moved into the deeper role upon Christian Eriksen's introduction - faring little better.ALSO READ: Erik ten Hag is not helping himself with baffling United decisions
"I said before the game they were poor vs Wolves but got the result and would be better today. They weren't," Keane told Sky Sports after the 2-0 defeat at Tottenham. "We made the point that they were fine in the first half hour, but the game is over 90 minutes. Obviously you're not going to dominate that long but you have to show some belief, desire, fight.
"They just looked lightweight. You look at the six players high up the pitch, when you're out of possession, they're giving you absolutely nothing.
