After three consecutive wins, Man Utd have returned to bad form. In two consecutive matches (both at Old Trafford), the Red Devils suffered 0-3 defeats against Man City (Premier League) and Newcastle (English League Cup).

Not only that, Man Utd also received a shock when the main midfielder Casemiro suffered a hamstring injury in the match against Newcastle. The Brazilian player may have to rest for a month due to this injury.
Man Utd's homepage confirmed the bad news: "Casemiro will be out for several weeks due to a hamstring injury in the match against Newcastle in the fourth round of the English League Cup. The Brazilian player was substituted at half-time."
Speaking about Casemiro's injury, coach Ten Hag said: "He was injured. That's why I had to take this midfielder off the field right after the first half ended. Casemiro will definitely be absent in the match against Fulham."
Casemiro's injury is a real blow to Man Utd. Most likely, the new Moroccan player, Sofyan Amrabat, will replace him. However, this player has not really adapted to Man Utd.

Despite the bad news, coach Ten Hag still has faith in Man Utd's ability to return. The Dutch strategist shared: "The team spirit is very good. They want to solve the crisis in the most appropriate way.
We know the standards are there. We talk to each other every day. We will try to react to the negative things. There is a strong unity within Man Utd. The players and the coaching staff are very determined to win."
According to the Telegraph, many Man Utd players are unhappy with coach Ten Hag's overly strict disciplinary methods. Former player Gary Neville criticized the Dutch coach: "Coach Ten Hag put Man Utd under great pressure. The players almost lost their way. The team also had to struggle with many other related issues."
At 7:30 p.m. tonight (November 4), Man Utd will travel to Fulham's home field in round 11 of the Premier League. The Red Devils are ranked 8th on the rankings with 15 points after 10 matches. Meanwhile, Fulham is ranked 14th with 12 points.
