Manchester United could use some changes and play a stronger team in the next Europa League game, after a disappointing 1-0 loss to Real Sociedad last week.
That’s the view of former Red Devils midfielder Luke Chadwick, who told CaughtOffside he didn’t feel the players who played last Thursday were doing themselves any favors with a flat display at Old Trafford.
Man Utd had started to show improved form under Erik ten Hag, winning four games in a row against Liverpool, Southampton, Leicester City and Arsenal.
However, they weren’t at their best against Society, and Chadwick now wants to see Ten Hag go all out to win the next game against Sheriff Tiraspol.
“It was a really disappointing result. There was obviously a bit of a weird atmosphere with the game so soon after the news of the Queen’s death. It was quite a strange game, the atmosphere was not really what you would expect at Old Trafford,” said Chadwick.
“Ten Hag made some changes to the team and I think it was a disappointing performance, the team didn’t create much. The players who entered did not do themselves many favors.
“I think the manager probably needs to bring back the players who have done so well in the last four games. With the weekend postponements maybe there is an opportunity for a stronger lineup, I wouldn’t be surprised if he went back to the team that was getting results.

“United need to win so I think it makes sense to play against the strongest team and the players who appeared last week have retired again.”
It’s been an inconsistent start to the season for United under their new manager, but this competition could be a real opportunity for the Dutch tactician to challenge for a major title.
