Captain Fantastic? This is no longer Cristiano Ronaldo

author:Pure meditation

The much-blamed striker was put on the armband by Ten Hach at Villa Park but was once again in trouble after United's 3-1 defeat to Aston Villa.

Victor: Emery

The former Arsenal boss took over Villa for the first time on Sunday and could not have asked for a better start. Left a stunned United 2-0 down before the end of the first half. Emery can't hide his joy on the touchline, and rightfully so. Villa look completely different from the previous team that struggled under Gerrard. When United pulled one goal back, Unai Emery's side extended their lead by two more goals from the start of the second half.

B Fee:

The Portugal international was forced to suspend the game and United missed the game. B-Fey's form this season has been questioned from time to time, but without the 28-year-old on the pitch, the team lacks inspiration, is easily split in midfield and has little bite. They also lack leadership and balance in midfield, highlighting the importance of B fees for Ten Hach.

Captain: Ronaldo

The Portugal international captained Manchester United for the first time under Ten Hach will not please many fans, who have been in a mess in the first half and need a push to get them back into action. Jacob Ramsay's own goal gave them hope, but it was quickly extinguished as Villa went 3-1. Ronaldo has neither led nor inspired the Red Devils to spend a gloomy afternoon.

Manager: Ten Hach

Ten Hach's decision to hand over the captain's armband to Ronaldo was not his only dubious move. Choosing Van der Beek again after an anonymous presentation in midweek was curious and he was too slow to change his team when things started to go wrong. A huge stroke of luck ensured United were just 2-1 down at half-time and the game was still ongoing, but Ten Hach decided not to change his side at half-time, insisting on the trust of a starter who had been so poor in the first half and was forced to pay the price when Ramsey restored Villa's two-goal lead three minutes later in the second half.

Manchester United: Defensive

David De Gea: beaten three times by the Manchester United defence on a difficult afternoon.

Dalot: Looked good in recent weeks, struggled at Villa Park and missed a good chance in the second half.

Victor Lindelof: The really weak link in the defense. Caught two goals from Villa and was too easy to be bullied by the home team.

Martinez: Couldn't keep up with Leon Bailly in the opening and was pulled around.

Luke Shaw: A free-kick was taken for the second goal, but with the help of Jacob Ramsey, United's shot returned.

midfielder

Casemiro: The best of the bad guys in midfield

Eriksen: There is no strong enough presence because Manchester United is too easy to cut through.

Van der Beek: Completely anonymous at the start of his first Premier League of the season.

offensive

Marcus Rashford: Again struggling on the right side but not having an impact.

Ronaldo: Hardly involved in any attack, a good chance to squander a header. Never like a scoring king.

Garnacho: United's smartest attacker, but failed to score another after scoring against Real Sociedad.

Fill someone's shoes

Anthony Martial: Can't find a goal, but United fans will be happy to see him back.

Elanga: His most notable contribution was to be criticized.

Malaysia: Didn't help anything.

Ten Hach: His decision to make Ronaldo captain was strange and it was a bit puzzling to see Van der Beek start after a poor performance against Real Sociedad. An own goal before half-time provided United with a chance to pull back a set, but Ten Hach chose not to change his side at half-time and the game was over when he introduced his substitute.
