Erik ten Hag bounced back with a win on Saturday against Southampton, putting an end to their recent struggles. However, Manchester United legend Dwight Yorke believes that the team is far from being title contenders and is currently in one of their worst states since the Premier League began in 1992. Despite their win against Southampton, United's defeats to Brighton and Liverpool have raised doubts about their ability to even secure a spot in the top four, let alone challenge for the title.
Yorke expressed his concerns about United's current situation, stating that they are "a million miles away" from winning the Premier League. He also pointed out that although they managed to win the FA Cup last season, it does not make them a good team overall. Yorke believes that United's performance on the field, in terms of goals conceded and scored, is the worst they have seen in their history since the Premier League's inception.
New signing Matthijs de Ligt made a positive contribution to United's win against Southampton, scoring a goal in the game. Ten Hag, the manager of United, has defended his team's performances this season and is confident that they can still achieve success, despite their struggles. He believes that the team is still in a rebuilding phase and will improve as the season progresses.
After their 3-0 loss to Liverpool, Ten Hag emphasized the need to build a new team and expressed his confidence in their ability to compete for trophies in the future. In their game against Southampton, United showed better control and were able to secure the win, with goalkeeper Andre Onana making a crucial penalty save. Ten Hag was pleased with his team's performance and believes that they need to continue winning in order to achieve their goals.
Despite their recent struggles, United remains a top club in the Premier League, and their fans will continue to support them through thick and thin. As the season goes on, they will look to improve and prove their doubters wrong.
