Corner Not Turned

Despite a last-minute victory by Manchester United over Fulham, the club's crisis talks are far from over. The win may have temporarily halted the talks, but it's only a matter of time before the team's unconvincing performances catch up with them.

Uncertainty and Parallels

Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag's reign is starting to resemble Unai Emery's final days at Arsenal. Emery lost the support of both players and fans due to a lack of direction and purpose. Similarly, Ten Hag's scattergun spending spree and lack of impact from new signings are raising concerns.

Weak Line-Up

During Saturday's victory over Fulham, the starting line-up for Manchester United was one of the weakest that fans could remember. Costly signing Antony was a liability, constantly giving away possession. Christian Eriksen appeared unfit for a holding midfield role, and Rasmus Hojlund struggled up front.

A Stroke of Luck

Bruno Fernandes' stoppage-time winner against Fulham was more a result of luck and defensive mistakes than brilliant attacking play. The victory was almost undone if not for Andre Onana's double save.

Time Running Out

Ten Hag's supporters argue that he just needs more time, pointing to Mikel Arteta's success at Arsenal. However, unlike Arteta, Ten Hag has yet to show a clear vision or improve the team through signings. After 18 months, it's becoming increasingly difficult to see how he can turn things around at United.

The End of Ten Hag's Reign?

Sooner or later, someone will have to make the tough decision to part ways with Ten Hag. Despite his talent as a coach, it seems he may be in the wrong place at the wrong time.

Line-Up:

Fulham: Leno, Castagne, Bassey, Ream, Robinson, Iwobi (Jimenez 89), Palhinha, Wilson (Cairney 90), Pereira (Decordova-Reid 81), Willian (Lukic 76), Muniz (Vinicius 76)

Man Utd: Onana, Wan-Bissaka, Maguire, Evans, Dalot, McTominay, Eriksen (Mount 79), Antony (Pellistri 63), Fernandes, Garnacho (Varane 90), Hojlund (Martial 79)
