Manchester United suffered a 3-0 defeat against Liverpool at Old Trafford in their third Premier League game of the season yesterday, and co-owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe was in the stands to watch the game.
The Red Devils were 2-0 down at half-time before conceding another goal in the second half, but things could have got worse as the visitors should have scored at least two more goals.
While Liverpool always looked threatening anytime they attacked, Man United’s performance left a lot to be desired.
They spent £206 million on Manuel Ugarte, Joshua Zirkzee, Leny Yoro, Matthijs de Ligt and Noussair Mazraoui this summer.
Three of them played but they could not influence proceedings, and Ratcliffe was caught on camera looking far from pleased with what he was watching.
Man United started the new campaign with a hard-fought 1-0 victory over Fulham before losing 2-1 to Brighton & Hove Albion last weekend, and not many people were surprised with their performance against Liverpool.
Erik ten Hag signed a new contract this summer despite being linked with an exit, but things have not changed.
He could be getting sacked soon if Man United keep performing like they did yesterday in the presence of Ratcliffe and his team.
The Red Devils return to Premier League action after the September international break with a trip to Southampton on September 14, and they need to get their campaign back on track after successive defeats.
