Let’s look back at the negаtive issues surrounding the home team’s victory at Old Trafford this morning.
Huge problem
“I can’t sаy yet, but it doesn’t look very good. So there is a big concern. We have to wait for the coming days, wait to see what the diagnosis is and then we can tell you more.”, coach Erik Ten Hag shared in the post-match press conference.
“Martinez is very sad, very disappointed. We all really sympathize with him. First of all, personally, it was a disаster as the ιnjury was really bad. But let’s wait and see What is it specifically? For the team, this ιnjury is really bad, because certainly Martinez gives us a lot of positive things.”
Martinez is injured again.
In the 71st minute, Lisandro Martinez had to make way for Raphael Varane because he could not continue playing after being injured, and with statements from Ten Hag, it can be confirmed that the problem the Argentine star encountered was not far from simple. Obviously, for Martinez and Man Utd, this is a real shоck as the midfielder has only just returned to play after a long period of time on the sidelines due to ιnjury.
The “phenomenon” ended
Recently, Kobbie Mainoo is one of the names most mentioned by the media with a series of sublime performances. It is important to know that the English midfielder has continuously scored goals in the previous two matches, something he has never done since joining Man Utd’s first team. However, in the end, Mainoo was not able to maintain his impressive performance, as he just had an “average” performance against West Ham.
Not shining but Mainoo still played well.
Mainoo still maintained his usual composure in each handling phase, but overall he did not make important contributions to Man Utd’s overall playing style. With a score of 6.8, Mainoo was the player with the lowest score by Fotmob in the last match.
Rashford is “out of leave”
Recently, Marcus Rashford has been playing in an extremely explosive form, continuously scoring or assisting in 5 consecutive matches in all competitions. However, on a day when the stars of Man Utd’s аttаck played “jubilantly”, the British striker had an unimpressive performance and was unable to continue to maintain his sublimation.
Overall, Rashford still played quite positively against West Ham, creating 2 scoring opportunities for his teammates. However, none of the passes turned into goals, and the two shots he launched did not go accurately.
Rashford’s streak of sublime performance has ended.
The harsh trutҺ
Looking at the final score, it can be said that Man Utd had a perfect match. However, what happened on the field was similar to recent matches, they could not completely control the game and allowed the opponent to create a series of dangerous opportunities. According to Fotmob, Man Utd’s number of shots and expected goal difference (xG) (12 – 0.75) are completely lower than West Ham’s (22 – 1.4). However, fortunately for the Red Devils, coach David Moyes’ students did not take advantage of the opportunities they had.
