Manchester United's crisis deepens with 12th defeat

Posted : 25 December 2023

Manchester United's struggles continue as they suffered their 12th defeat of the season, a 2-0 loss to West Ham, marking the club's worst pre-Christmas period since 1930. The team's attacking woes were evident, with the high-priced trio of Antony, Rasmus Hoylund, and Alejandro Garnacho failing to make a significant impact. This defeat also marked United's 20th loss in 2023, the highest in a single calendar year since 1989, and they have gone four consecutive games without scoring a goal.

 

Erik ten Hag, facing increasing pressure as the team's manager, grapples with an offensive crisis as United has managed only 18 goals in 18 league games, a feat achieved only three times in the club's history. Former Red Devils star Paul Scholes criticized the lack of creativity, emphasizing the challenge of teaching effective goal-scoring. The attacking trio's underperformance, combined with Hoylund's zero goals and assists in 14 Premier League appearances, raises concerns about the team's offensive capabilities.

Commentators, including football legends Alan Shearer and Ellie McCoist, expressed worry and frustration with Manchester United's current state. Shearer labeled the team as "embarrassing" and questioned the effectiveness of Ten Hag's plan, while McCoist deemed a 13th defeat in a season unacceptable for a club of United's stature. Despite facing criticism, Ten Hag cited injuries and past successes, urging for calm and unity within the squad, emphasizing their ability to compete with top teams.
