Manchester United lost to West Ham on Sunday for the fourth time this Premier League season after creating a lot of chances but failing to convert them.
Diogo Dalot’s miss will be remembered for years to come, and Alejandro Garnacho missed two fantastic opportunities before the visitors let the Hammers into the match.
And they made it matter by netting late goals from Jarrod Bowen and Crysencio Summerville following a contentious officiating decision.
Despite United’s terrible start to the season, it is surprising that INEOS has decided not to fire Erik ten Hag. United is currently in 14th place, just seven points outside the drop zone.
The assault was started by Bruno’s presence.
Bruno Fernandes’ return to the club helped the Red Devils play considerably better at the London Stadium after their lackluster attacking performance against Fenerbahce in the middle of the week.
He threw numerous through balls to Alejandro Garnacho, who was able to fluff his lines on a regular basis, showcasing his excellent pressing, vision, and passing range.
With 96 ball touches, the Portuguese international made three crucial passes and created two excellent opportunities, both of which his teammates squandered.
The club captain missed one significant opportunity himself, adding to his goal drought. Three of his shots were blocked, and a couple missed the mark.
Bruno must begin firing
He never gave up, though, winning three fouls for his team and completing seven long passes out of ten attempts. As per his usual defensive contributions, he made two clearances and won five ground duels (all data via sofascore).
Toward the end of the game, the 30-year-old showed his wastefulness by mishitting a cross while attempting a long-ranger rather than attempting to deliver inside the box, which resulted in audible moans.
Fernandes led his team’s offensive onslaught despite a few flaws, and his teammates and management need him to start playing well or else this season could end worse than the last.
However, he and his club are just not succeeding, and the Red Devils are at the top of the list for missed opportunities. The players are obviously feeling the pressure, and the manager’s dismal record is largely to blame.
