Express Sport – What the el was that?

It’s a tough read for Manchester United fans today, with the Express asking the question most on everyone’s mind- “What the el was that?”. Harry Maguire and goalkeeper David de Gea are singled out for their poor performances.

A debut season as manager for Erik ten Hag that promised so much after an early trophy now hangs in the balance following their tame exit to Sevilla in the Europa League.

They are still well-placed to make the top four and qualify for next season’s Champions League, but injuries to key players has highlighted the fragility of their squad at the business end of the campaign.

Ten Hag must now pick up the pieces in time for Sunday’s FA Cup semi-final against Brighton, while Thursday’s trip to Tottenham also looms large.
