Manchester United fell to yet another underwhelming defeat on Saturday lunchtime, with the Red Devils losing 2-0 at West Ham United in the Premier League.
Lovely goals from Jarrod Bowen and Mohammed Kudus condemned Erik ten Hag’s side to a disappointing loss, the Irons overtaking Man Utd in the league table just before Christmas.
It was ultimately a day of frustration for the 13-time Premier League champions, who failed to score for a fourth consecutive game.
A trip to the London Stadium is tricky enough at the best of times, but Raphael Varane’s illness meant that 19-year-old Willy Kambwala was handed a surprise debut at centre-back. A huge opportunity for the youngster, the Frenchman partnered 35-year-old Jonny Evans in the heart of defence.
A first professional appearance awaits… 🌟

Jonny Evans and Willy Kambwala is the 10th different centre-back partnership Man United have used this season 😬

In keeping with plenty of this season’s early Saturday kick-offs, it was a flat opening half at the London Stadium. Neither side was playing with much intensity, the best chance falling to the feet of Alejandro Garnacho, but the Argentine was unable to finish from a promising position.

It was another disappointing afternoon for Rasmus Hojlund who failed to find the back of the net yet again in the Premier League. It’s now 14 English top-flight matches without a goal for the £72m summer signing.
Hojlund off……Zero service again. Not one shot. And it’s him who goes off. Really struggling to see what the plan is with United…
