When Manchester United fans thought their club would end another weekend without a win, the Red Devils stepped up to grab Erik ten Hag’s job-saving win.
Manchester United went into the game with two successive defeats within the last seven days as they continue to drop in the Premier League standings.
Recall that last weekend, they hosted their local rivals, Manchester City at Old Trafford and they got a beating of their lives as the Manchester derby ended in a 3-0 win for the visitors.
On Wednesday, the Red Devils traveled to St James’ Park to take on Newcastle United in the round of 16 of the Carabao Cup and failed to successfully defend the EFL Cup which they won by defeating Newcastle in the final last season.
Eddie Howe and his boys ended coach Erik Ten Hag’s run in the EFL Cup with a 3-0 win which means they have conceded 6 goals in seven days before traveling to Craven Cottage to take on Fulham.
Hence, it was win or burst for the embattled Erik Ten Hag who was without injured Marcus Rashford and fortunately for the Dutchman, Bruno Fernandes stepped up as the club’s captain to save his job with 91st minute goal.
