After two seasons in charge, Manchester United coach Ten Hag achieved 4th place and won the League Cup championship last season. However, the team's performance this season is experiencing unexpected fluctuations.
Ronaldo faced a memorable match, striking post and crossbar twice, missing two opportunities. Despite nine consecutive goals, he was silent in the last two matches. In an attempt to defend, he redirected Sayoud's shot, resulting in Al Raed's victory.
Al Ittihad encountered difficulties in the second leg when Benzema made a mistake, heading into the own goal from Iskanderov's free kick, leading to a 0-0 draw with Uzbekistan.
