"When Ten Hag arrived at Old Trafford in 2022, hopes were high that he would bring a modern, possession-based style to a United side characterized by chaos for so long. However, that dream failed to materialize. Throughout Ten Hag's time in the dugout, United were consistently among the Premier League's worst defensive outfits."
"Since his first Premier League match in charge in August 2022, United have registered a total xG against (xGA) figure of 136. While they only conceded 112 goals under him, their xGA was the fifth-worst of any ever-present Premier League side in that time, better than only Everton, Fulham, West Ham, and Wolves."
"United faced 1,253 shots in the Premier League under Ten Hag, highlighting persistent defensive frailties. Only four teams have faced more shots in the competition since the start of the 2022-23 campaign."
"The £70 million arrival of midfield enforcer Casemiro failed to resolve United's defensive issues, indicating deeper problems in the squad management and tactical setup during Ten Hag's tenure."
