Man Utd weakness puts pressure on Ten Hag and his players ahead of Wolves clash
when manchester United arrive in north London next Saturday afternoon. They should have encountered a dark and silent atmosphere in and around them. Tottenham Hotspur Stadium
United’s latest visit to the capital will be Spurs’ first home game after life without Harry Kane, although the England captain has moved to the top of Erik ten Haag’s transfer wish list. But the England captain decided to join German giants Bayern Munich yesterday. This put an end to his long-term relationship with his boyhood club.
when his contract expires at the end of this season Spurs have no choice. Even hesitant to pay although daniel Levy would never sell the England captain to another Premier League club, and now Levy faces an impossible challenge in finding the ideal replacement.
Kane’s exit, though, was a huge gap that had to be filled. But United’s visit to the white corner of north London will be Ange Postecoglou’s first home game in charge. Life will go on without Kane and the Australian has been put in charge.

It means whatever the result of his first game against Brentford this afternoon will be. He will also be desperate to win his first home game and put his mark on his new supporters. United will have to prepare for that. And if their away record last season against top-half teams has taught us anything. That also means they shy away when the game gets tougher and questions are asked.
United picked up just four points from 27 away from the top half last season. One of which was achieved at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, however, one point was originally three points. as United conceded two goals ahead and raised further questions about their disastrous away record.
However, the new season could be a major turning point in their fortunes away from home. And everyone involved with the club hopes so. But with Spurs and Arsenal presenting the Reds with their first two challenges on the road this season. Keeping in mind United’s recent struggles on their journey. They need to do their best in their first two home games, starting with Wolves on Monday night.
Despite the facts, United, like all 19 Premier League clubs, will understand the importance of starting to win and setting goals right away. The Reds lost their first two games last season, scoring six goals, leaving them bottom of the table.
They cannot repeat that this season. Not everyone involved with the club imagined that. But if United’s away day has to face bad things again at the start of the season. And they were not able to pick up a respectable point on the trip to north London. They need to maintain their top points against Wolves and Nottingham. Forrest two weeks later.
United are unbeaten at Olde. Trafford in the Premier League since the opening day of last season. And unbeaten in all competitions since September 8, Ten Hag has changed the old Trafford back to being a fortress as before
Opponents are afraid to go to the M16 and that is the type of mentality that United hope to enforce against their rivals further this season. They rarely concede home and consecutive M16 away matches against Wolves and Forest in the start of the season. Looks like a great opportunity to collect six points.
However, in football There is always the risk that euphoria can creep in and one opponent underestimates the other. Driven by the exceptionally high standards of Ten Hag United, that element of risk shouldn’t be allowed to creep in. Certainly not when they have such high expectations this season.
But with the Premier League taking no prisoners and no automatic pass to pick up the three points, United shouldn’t underestimate Wolves. Aiming to impress on their first outing under Gary O’Neill, they will have a point to prove. And he’ll want a winning start on his own.
Therefore, considering the recent away fights and the opening two away games. United need to go full speed against Wolverhampton and take full advantage of their good start. Failure to do so will put pressure on ahead of the season’s first trip to the capital.
