In another disappointing outing, Manchester United suffered a 2-0 defeat against West Ham, highlighting ongoing challenges under manager Erik ten Hag. Rasmus Hojlund’s difficulties persisted, contributing to a misfiring Red Devils’ attack, while errors from Andre Onana and Kobbie Mainoo proved costly.

Goalkeeper & Defense:

 

• Andre Onana (5/10): Exhibited good footwork and a crucial save but fell short for Jarrod Bowen’s opening goal.
• Aaron Wan-Bissaka (6/10): Solid defensively but lacked the attacking threat of the suspended Diogo Dalot.
• Willy Kambwala (6/10): Despite the result, had a strong debut, showcasing strength and confidence.
• Jonny Evans (6/10): Among United’s better players in the match.
• Luke Shaw (6/10): Stood out as United’s best performer but lacked support at his level.

Midfield:

 

• Bruno Fernandes (4/10): A disappointing return after missing Anfield, contributing little of note.
• Kobbie Mainoo (4/10): Started well, but a crucial error allowed Kudus to capitalize and secure the victory.
• Scott McTominay (5/10): Limited involvement throughout the game.

Attack:

 

• Antony (5/10): Showed decent link-up play and defensive efforts but lacked end product.
• Rasmus Hojlund (3/10): Another anonymous display with no shots on goal, maintaining a poor minutes-to-goals record.
• Alejandro Garnacho (5/10): Seemed the best chance for a goal but missed crucial opportunities, shooting straight at Areola.

The defeat signifies another low point for Manchester United this season, underscoring the urgency for improvements across various areas of the team.
