The incredible pressure already on the shoulders of Erik ten Hag has increased ten fold after another miserable Manchester United defeat. <\/p>\n

Fresh from derby day blues against Manchester City on Sunday, United were yet again outworked and outplayed, but this time by a second string Newcastle United side who beat United 3-0 to avenge last season\u2019s EFL Cup final in February which United won 2-0.<\/p>\n

That day was supposed to be the beginning of the Ten Hag era at Old Trafford but just eight months later the mood couldn\u2019t be worse and the criticism couldn\u2019t be more deafening.<\/p>\n

The Magpies opened the scoring through Miguel Almiron who rounded off a clinical counter-attack, although from United\u2019s point of view, the impending shot on goal was obvious to see from the moment Tino Livramento disposed Alejandro Garnacho on the edge of the Toon penalty box.<\/p>\n

A second came from summer signing Lewis Hall, who volleyed home superbly from the edge of the box. But yet again, United looked disjointed and unwilling to defend their own box. More awful defending followed in the second half as Joe Willock fired in Newcastle\u2019s third from outside of the box under no pressure.<\/p>\n

What did you make of Man Utd\u2019s performance against Newcastle United? Let us know in the comments section below<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Following the latest damaging defeat, Daily Star Sport<\/i><\/b> looks at what Ten Hag needs to address ahead of Saturday\u2019s trip to Fulham.<\/p>\n

Reel in Hannibal Mejbri<\/h3>\n

How Hannibal hasn\u2019t been sent off yet in a United shirt beggars\u2019 belief. The 20-year-old midfielder was booked just 14 minutes in for an overexuberant and late challenge before escaping a second yellow card for a late tackle on Emil Krafth just minutes later.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s not the first time Hannibal has walked an incredibly thin tightrope for United and if his behaviour isn\u2019t curbed soon, as it should do from Ten Hag or the experienced heads in the squad, he will eventually leave United a man down on the pitch.<\/p>\n

What is Mason Mount\u2019s purpose?<\/h3>\n

Mason Mount looks a worse signing for United with every game he plays. The England international has undoubted talent but his role in the current United setup is unexplainable. Not fancied ahead of Bruno Fernandes in the attacking midfield role and looks incapable of supporting Casemiro in the defensive phase \u2013 more on him later.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Lacklustre defending<\/h3>\n

Game after game United are carved open and all it takes is a team to have more determination and energy than the Red Devils and they\u2019re able to create a chance, which so far this season is every team they\u2019ve faced.<\/p>\n

Granted, the defensive line has been hit massively by injury, but it\u2019s the bare minimum expected of a semi-professional footballer, let alone a United side, to not be out-fought.<\/p>\n

Casemiro<\/h3>\n

He was one of United\u2019s best players last season and an incredibly vital part of Ten Hag\u2019s success in his first season \u2013 chipping in with crucial displays and goals including the opener in the cup final in February.<\/p>\n

But whether he\u2019s been overplayed, carrying an injury or just been found out, he has encapsulated United\u2019s woeful season. The 31-year-old is constantly being isolated and was hooked off at half-time having been booked. <\/p>\n

He is a far too important player to be a passenger every game. Whether it\u2019s giving him a break or giving Sofyan Amrabat a string of games alongside him, Ten Hag has to find a solution.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Playing Anthony Martial<\/h3>\n

Rasmus Hojlund is still finding his feet at Old Trafford following his \u00a372million move and is yet to score in the Premier League. An outing against a much changed Newcastle side could\u2019ve seen him get more valuable minutes in English football underneath his belt or even find the back of the net.<\/p>\n

But instead, Anthony Martial walked around for an hour. Martial wasn\u2019t sold in the summer, possibly due to a lack of cover up front, but his time at Old Trafford is surely up after yet another uninspiring, half-arsed performance. He is a defender's dream when he\u2019s not at the races, and that\u2019s every time he steps on the pitch these days.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Complete lack of discipline<\/h3>\n

Petulance again from United players is just embarrassing Ten Hag further. Just as it was on Sunday and against Liverpool at Anfield last season, United players cannot keep their heads when on the end of a drubbing.<\/p>\n

And that reflects poorly on Ten Hag, whether it be a lack of mature heads, although seasoned pros Sergio Reguilon and Amrabat picked up needless yellow cards late in the second-half, the Dutchman has to get a grip of it. However, that mentality looks impossible to shift while prolific whinger Bruno Fernandes is captain. <\/p>\n
