This is record-breaking Man Utd, only those are not the records you'd want to brag about

You can blame Andre Onana, no dilemma about that. His awful reaction led to Bayern Munich's opening goal at Allianz Arena on Wednesday night, and from that point on, things just started going worse for the Red Devils.

But it would be totally unfair to hide all other flaws of Erik ten Hag's side underneath this Onana's unprecedented mistake.

And there are tons of them - those flaws.

Whether you're a Man Utd fan or not, it's blatantly clear the Old Trafford lot is going through a severe crisis, with new issues emerging almost on a daily basis.

Woeful defending, for instance.

It's not shocking, let alone embarrassing, to concede four against the mighty Bavarians at Munich, especially if you respond with three goals in the back of their net. But Thomas Tuchel's side is not the first to exploit the weaknesses of United's shambolic defence, which looks Maguire-esque even when the former skipper is not around. Confused, disoriented and off balance.

Believe it or not, according to Opta stats, the Red Devils have conceded 3+ goals in three consecutive games for the first time since December 1978! Moreover, they've seen 2+ goals against in five games in a row for the first time since May-August 2001.

Last but not least, Manchester United have lost as many as four of their opening six games of a season in all competitions for the first time since 1986-87 under Ron Atkinson.

Players' body language says it all - deprived of necessary energy and determination, they lack that sparkle and seem more like a group of individuals brought together without their consent than a genuine Premier League and European giant.

Who to blame for it is not an essential question like the necessity of acting fast and accurately. If Ten Hag's reign is not reaching its ultimate days, the Dutch gaffer must change his approach and hope for a revival.

"Disappointed, and when you score three goals in Munich, at the least you have to take a point, and we didn't," Ten Hag lamented. "And you have to look in the mirror because the goals were easy giveaways.

"We were in the first 25 minutes better in the game than Munich, and then that goal, it was so easy and it was not only Andre. If you see how easy Sane is going through, and that has to do with determination, you don't let players through so easily.

"That is the point - we have to cross the line as an individual and as a team to win games because it started there. That's what I mean - you have to suffer, sacrifice in situations, give everything and stop that and only when we get that in are we going to win games.

"Of course, he (Onana) knows he has to stop the ball, but the way Sane came through can't be. And the second goal was almost similar to the other side. How easy players come through our box and finish, it can't be.

"What you have seen on a very high level, it was against Arsenal, Bayern Munich, Brighton, all top-level teams, and we go head to head but they win."

When asked if United's defensive frailties were injury or mental-related, Ten Hag replied: "Both. We only get out of this if both [are applied]."
