Fabrizio Romano “not surprised” by “terrible” Man Utd defeat as he comments on Ten Hag’s start as manager.

Fabrizio Romano insists he is not surprised by the poor result for Manchester United as they were thrashed 6-3 by rivals Manchester City

Fabrizio Romano says that despite Manchester United's terrible performance in yesterday's crucial Premier League match against rivals Manchester City, he is not shocked by it.

Erik ten Hag's time at Old Trafford is certainly going to be a lengthy one, according to Romano, who wrote in his exclusive piece that the Dutch coach is unlikely to have been able to do much more than he has thus far.

Erling Haaland and Phil Foden both scored hat-tricks as Man City thrashed the Red Devils at the Etihad Stadium yesterday. This spectacular encounter was won by Man City, who were clearly the superior team.

Although Man Utd's two late consolation goals through Anthony Martial helped to lessen the humiliation, Romano acknowledges that this was still a "awful" loss for the team.
