Manchester United’s disappointing 2-1 defeat to West Ham United at the London Stadium resulted in a loss of crucial Premier League points.

With a powerful attacking display, the Red Devils started off strongly and had the opportunity to clinch the league title for the second consecutive year. However, they squandered several clear chances, including an open goal that Diogo Dalot failed to convert.

Crysencio Summerville of the home team broke the deadlock in the 74th minute, but Casemiro quickly responded with an equalizer for United. Ultimately, Jarrod Bowen’s penalty in stoppage time secured the victory for the Hammers.

Despite the controversial penalty decision after a VAR review, there are no excuses for United’s failure to capitalize on numerous scoring chances.

Casemiro, who was reinstated to the starting lineup by manager Erik ten Hag, was undoubtedly the standout player.

He rewarded Ten Hag’s faith with an impressive all-around performance. Along with scoring, the Brazilian set up a fantastic chance for Bruno Fernandes, who squandered it. In the first half, Casemiro also had a header on target that was brilliantly saved by Lukasz Fabianski.
