Manchester United: Another Disappointing Loss Highlights Deepening Struggles
Manchester United, however, continued to struggle and lost to West Ham 2-1, which raised new questions about their season.
Defensive Vulnerabilities: United’s defense showed weaknesses, with key defensive lapses allowing the opposing team to capitalize. The absence of a solid backline has been a recurring issue, leaving fans questioning what changes are needed in the squad.
Lack of Midfield Control: Despite United's best efforts, the midfield failed to create enough opportunities or protect the defense effectively. Erik ten Hag faces the challenge of finding the right balance in his lineup, as the current formation seems unable to support both the attack and defense effectively.
According to their Manager Erik ten Hag, it was a disappoint. “We need to find answers fast because our performance was subpar. We, along with the fans, expect more. We need to make adjustments in order to return to our winning ways.” He stated.
