A miserable start to the new season was compounded by defeat to Galatasaray at Old Trafford last night which left the Red Devils bottom of Champions League Group A.<\/p>\n
Despite considerable investment in new players over the summer, United have lost six of their opening 10 games in all competitions and appear to have gone backwards.<\/p>\n
A number of off-field issues have proven to be a significant distraction but Keys is adamant that Ten Hag\u2019s harsh treatment of his underperforming players has come back to haunt him.<\/p>\n
\u2018It\u2019s clear ETH has lost his players with his tin-pot tough guy act anf by always blaming them,\u2019 the beIN Sports presenter wrote on X. <\/p>\n

\u2018That\u2019s repairable. Casemiro Eriksen Varane and Amrabat not being able to run isn\u2019t and the keeper is a liability. <\/p>\n
\u2018Fernandes won\u2019t run \u2013 that\u2019s a big problem. He\u2019s not a captain.\u2019<\/p>\n
While it appears too early to judge deadline day purchase Amrabat, especially given his early United appearances have been at left-back, Onana\u2019s performances are becoming an increasing concern.<\/p>\n
The decision to oust and replace David de Gea was always going to bring intense scrutiny, but the experienced Cameroon international has made a catalogue of errors already and has been anything but a steadying influence on those in front of him.<\/p>\n
Despite his early struggles, Ten Hag is standing by his \u00a350million purchase and has little intention of dropping him ahead of this weekend\u2019s game against Brentford. <\/p>\n
He said: \u2018We are happy with our goalkeeping group. Andre was in one semi-final, last season in a final of Champions League.<\/p>\n
\u2018(He) Can be one of the best goalkeepers in the world. We have seen already his great capabilities + also his personality. He will bounce back.\u2019<\/p>\n
