[OSEN=정승우 기자] Manchester United continued their scoring silence for four consecutive games and lost to West Ham United. Manchester United has only scored 18 goals in 18 games.
Manchester United faced West Ham United in the 18th round of the 2023-2024 Premier League season at the London Stadium in London, England at 9:30 pm (Korean time) on the 23rd and lost 0-2.
As a result, Manchester United failed to add points and sank to 8th place in the league with 28 points (9 wins, 1 draw, 8 losses). On the other hand, West Ham ranked 6th in the league with 30 points (9 wins, 3 draws, 6 losses).
Manchester United used a 4-2-3-1 formation. Rasmus Hoilun was at the forefront, and Alejandro Garnacho, Bruno Fernández and Anthony were in the second line of attack. Scott McTominay and Kobe Mainu filled the midfield, while Luke Shaw, Johnny Evans, Willy Kambwala and Aaron Wan-Bissaka formed the back four. The goal was guarded by Andre Onana.
West Ham also responded with a 4-2-3-1 formation. Jared Bowen aimed to score, and Lucas Paqueta, James Ward Prowse, and Mohamed Kudus were in the second line of attack. Edson Alvarez and Tomas Soucek protected the back four, and Emerson, Quirt Zouma, Konstantinos Mavropanos and Vladimir Coupal formed the defensive line. Alphonse Areola puts on his goalkeeper gloves.
West Ham took the opportunity first. In the 5th minute of the first half, after exchanging the ball with Paqueta, Emerson fired a powerful left-footed shot from the right side of the box, which Onana blocked.
Manchester United also went on the attack. In the 10th minute of the first half, Shaw received a pass from Garnacho on the left flank and crossed, but was deflected by the defense and fell into Areola’s arms.
This time, West Ham created a chance again. In the 17th minute of the first half, Bowen caught the ball dropped by Ward Prowse and hit a bold shot from outside the box, but it was not hit well and missed the goal.
In the 21st minute of the first half, it was Manchester United’s turn again. Hoilun penetrated and Bruno pushed the ball in, but Zouma showed clever defense and blocked the opportunity.
In the 35th minute of the first half, Manchester United had another chance. In a counterattack situation, Garnacho caught the ball pushed by Anthony and penetrated into the box. Garnacho shot with his right foot in a situation where his posture was broken, but his strength was not used properly and Areola blocked it with his leg.
Soon a similar situation was repeated. In the 39th minute of the first half, Paqueta failed to block Anthony’s pass, and Garnacho, who received the ball, shot inside the box, but Paqueta blocked it this time.
Three minutes of extra time were given in the first half, but the first half ended 0-0.
In the second half, it was West Ham who created the opportunity first. In the 11th minute of the second half, Bowen connected with a powerful header on a corner kick from the left, which Onana managed to block.
Manchester United brought Hoilun to the bench in the 12th minute of the second half and brought in Marcus Rashford. In the 21st minute of the second half, Bruno caught the ball from a distance outside the box and hit a bold left-footed shot, but it missed the goal.
West Ham scored the first goal. In the 27th minute of the second half, Paqueta caught the ball outside the box and sent the ball into the box. Bowen penetrated and received it and then scored with a calm shot into the net.
West Ham hit Manchester United’s net again. In the 33rd minute of the second half, Mainu failed to handle Paqueta’s pass, and Kudus, who caught it, scored with a low, quick shot in front of two defenders.
In a hurry, Manchester United removed Cambwala and Garnacho and brought in Christian Eriksen and Sergio Reguilon in the 39th minute of the second half.
Six minutes of extra time were given in the second half. United continued to create attacking work, but an offside foul was ruled out and the subsequent opportunity was squandered by Reguilon’s inaccurate cross. The game ended with West Ham winning 2-0.
