The club is now also on the possible note of losing three consecutive games in the Premier League. They will play their next match against the Liverpool on 22nd of August next week at Old Trafford. As the team has already conceded six goals in the first two matches, so ten Hag is now planning to add Raphael Varane to the starting XI of the team.

The sources have learned that this replacement might cost Maguire’s spot in the XI. In the first two matches, the new addition to the team Lisandro Martinez was accompanying the skipper Maguire in the center-back position. The United conceded four goals against Brentford only till half-time which compelled ten Hag to replace Martinez with Varane.

Notably, Manchester United is currently at the bottom of the table in the Premier League. It is the first time for them in the last 30 years since 1992 when they have zero points having a negative five-goal difference.

According to some experts of the game, the Red Devils are lacking unity as a team and are coming off with very low confidence on the field which is probably one of the reasons of their defeats.
