Another excuse has come to light after Manchester United suffered a fifth defeat in 10 Premier League games when Manchester City claimed a comfortable derby victory
Manchester United supporters haven't taken kindly to the suggestion that the players' kits could be to blame for difficult recent results.
Players are said to have complained to manager Ten Hag about kits being too tight, with some reportedly resorting to wearing replica shirts and ditching the club-issued socks. While kit manufacturer Adidas is said to be in the process of making amendments, supporters have had their say regarding the latest issue.
"We have become a joke club. What is this am I reading!!" wrote another, while talkSPORT hosts Ally McCoist and Alan Brazil gave their own thoughts about what a third fan has called "The most silly excuse I have ever heard in my life". "I know how the United players feel at this moment in time," McCoist said with a laugh.
Ten Hag also addressed Sunday's derby defeat, which leaves United nine points behind third-placed City and seven adrift of Aston Villa in fifth. Erling Haaland scored twice and Phil Foden added a third for the visitors, who had 21 shots on goal and 10 on target.
