Erik ten Hag reveals main reason for Manchester United's struggles this season

Erik ten Hag believes injuries are the main reason behind Manchester United's poor 2023/24 season so far.

On Saturday night, the Red Devils suffered their ninth defeat in 20 Premier League games this season, in a disappointing 2-1 loss to Nottingham Forest. 

Nicolas Dominguez initiated the scoring for the hosts just after the hour mark. Despite Matt Turner gifting Marcus Rashford an equalizer, Morgan Gibbs-White responded by securing the winner for the hosts.

When asked by Sky Sports what the main issue has been with United's campaign so far, Ten Hag replied: "The injuries. Also some issues but mainly the injuries hold us back in the process.

"In January we have a lot of players returning so then we believe our levels can be higher."
