Command Analysis

Manchester United

England

Current Form

Manchester United has had a mixed start to the season. They put up a good fight in the Super Cup against Manchester City, losing only in the penalty shootout. However, in the Premier League, they have managed to secure victories primarily against weaker opponents, and in the latest round, they failed to break down Crystal Palace's defense, resulting in a 0-0 draw. They also lost to Liverpool without much resistance, finishing 1-3. As it stands, the 'Red Devils' find themselves in a modest 11th place in the league table after five matches. Overall, Erik ten Hag's team has shown inconsistency, making it difficult to predict how they will perform in their upcoming Europa League matches.
