The Old Trafford team is struggling to find a way out of the crisis.
Man Utd and Chelsea delivered an emotional and dramatic match at Stamford Bridge.
Man Utd seemed to have victory in hand when leading Chelsea with a score of 3-2 in the 90+9 minute. However, coach Mauricio Pochettino and his team made a crazy comeback.
Cole Palmer’s two goals in minutes 90+10 and 90+11 brought 3 valuable points for the Blues, while the Red Devils could only blame themselves for lack of concentration.
Man Utd failed, but Alejandro Garnacho had an excellent match. He scored a double against Chelsea, and with Palmer had the highest score in the match.
Another player who did not deserve to lose the match was Andre Onana. The Cameroonian goalkeeper is a rare bright spot for Man Utd from the beginning of 2024 until now.
It is no coincidence that Onana was voted Man Utd’s best player of March. However, this shows the paradox at Man Utd,
Normally, a goalkeeper who plays excellently and makes constant stops means that the team is inferior compared to the opponent. This is the current status of the Red Devils.
According to Opta, MU suffered 109 shots in the last 4 matches in the Premier League. In all competitions, MU faces 275 shots in 2024 alone, more than any other team in the top 5 European leagues.
And Onana receiving the best player of the month award makes fans think of David de Gea in the past. De Gea also often plays excellently, but clearly he has to work too hard because Man Utd’s defense reveals many flaws.
Overall, Onana playing well is not good news for Man Utd. Although coach Erik ten Hag has tried to bring about a personnel revolution, things have not changed at Man Utd. It’s never a good thing for a goalkeeper to receive the team’s best award.
